On B conical bluff on the north side of Haw River near the old Ireland Mill site, stands this beau tiful and unique structure, the hunting lodge and summer home of Col. Robert L. Holt. Mr. Holt will iexcuse us for not describing him in this article—indeed that is unnecessary ^ his handsome and genial personality is known to practically all our readera. This fort is far from being im pregnable as can be testified to by the many friends of Mr. Holt who have frequently stormed the works and captured everything on the grounds, including the commissary department, and all without the loss of a single as sailant. In fact it is said to be a very delightful pastime to be connected with an assault upon these works as it is well known that the commissary is always well stocked and the supplies, when exhausted, are always promptly replenished. The fortications consist of a block house built of logs, a well ar ranged commissary, which is, in ci vilian language, an elegant dining room, a modern and up- to-date kitchen and every con venience for living a happy and contented life. ry assault. This is indeed a beautiful prop erty, surroi-uiued oy a forest of native trees and» n the shores of, perhaps, the Ujvn'iie^t streani in Piedmont iNorih OaroUna, the beauty of which is only exceed*^ by its value as a natural produc er of wealth in tht many 4ndus^ trial villages that dot i is banks in Alamance County. We have stated that the as sailants of Fort Snug are always successful in their assaults, but it would be unfair to close this rather imperfect sketch with out stating, also, that ihe garrison composed of the genial colonel, himself, immediately escapes from his captivity captures and holds as permanent captives the hearts and the esteem of all who participate in these J^ssaults.
