4'Adopt-A-Pet Saturday9 scheduled for May 5 Members of the Hoke County Humane Society will be at the new Animal Shelter at the landfill on Saturday to assist with adopting pets. Saturday will be the first of a series of Adopt-A-Pet Saturday programs. A fee of S5 will be charged for small and medium sized dogs and $7 for large dogs. No fee will be charged for cats. All of the fees will go to the Hoke County Animal Shelter and will help pay for food for incarcerated animals. In addition, Humane Society members will have collars and leashes for sale for $1.50 each. Those proceeds will go to the Society, not the shelter. The Humane Society will have brochures on how to care for your new pet and will also have applica tion forms available for the low cost spaying and neutering pro gram. The fee for a female dog is $35, a female cat is $19, a male dog $20 and a male cat $13. However, if someone really wants to adopt a pet and cannot afford even the low cost offered by our program the society will help subsidize them. The important thing is to get as many animals spayed and neutered as possible, to prevent unwanted litters being born and ending up in the pound, a society spokesman said. It's so easy to just let a dog or cat have litters, and then dispose of them in various ways. Thirty three million puppies and kittens are born yearly in America. Permanent homes exist for only eight million. The rest, some 25 million, suffer abandonment, star vation or destruction. This can be prevented by people being respon sible for the pets they own, Society spokesman Sheryl McGinnis said. The Humane Society has hired a part-time worker who will be at the pound Monday through Friday, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to assist peo ple with adoptions on those days also. The city dog warden is usually at the pound between 11 a.m. and noon and the county dog warden is usually there between the hours of 4 and 5 p.m. "Saturdays, we will have a volunteer from the Humane Socie ty for one hour a day, between 10 and 11. Sundays, we do not have access to the pound," McGinnis said. Gilchrist family history , on display in Hoke Library A spiral bound typescript family history recently presented to the Hoke County Library will be of in terest to history buffs and perhaps to hundreds of genealogy-minded residents of this area. THE GILCHRIST FAMILY by Robert Walton Gilchrist of Titusville, Florida lists some of descendants of John Gilchrist, 1740-1802, and his two wives: Ef fie McMillan (1), 1748-1794, and (2) Flora Currie, - d. 1847. Information beyond that to be found in Lumber River Scots and Their Descendants, (Purcell and others, 1941) is confined to descen dants of Malcolm Gilchrist, grand son of John and Effie and son of Gilbert Scotland Gilchrist and his second wife, Mary Currie. Gilbert S. Gilchrist's first wife was Mary McPherson of Cumberland Coun ty who died in 1823. The author's research, however, produced interesting references to the Gilchrist family in Scotland from about the tenth century. Of special interest repaoi ?<*? A Review episodes told in the 16th century Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland and Irelane. A 12th century Gilchrist, having married the sister of Scotland's King William the Lion, became a prominent and apparently skilled commander of a part of the king's army. After Gilchrist "murdereth" his wife on suspicion of adultery, his kingly brother-in law, not unnaturally, was "wroth" and sought to kill him. However, according to the chronicler, after some years, the fugitive was found and finally restored to the Royal favor. The narrative of the 1770 emigration and settling of John Gilchrist with his bride Effie and her parents, Gilbert and Christian McMillan on the Mill Prong swamp in Bladen, subsequently Robeson, now Hoke County, follows Lumber River Scots. . centysy..Robert W. Gilchrist, a teacher of history in Titusville High School, notes the tremendous influence this family exerted on the development of the southeastern states. Listing of the descendants of Malcolm Gilchrist, John's grand son, reflects the close family ties of the Alabama, Tennessee, Florida and Texas kin. Unfortunately, the 90 page listing is not indexed, but families are listed in numerical order of descent and tracing kin does not present unsurmountable difficulties. The book does have a bibliography and credits given. In an affectionate letter of pur pose, Robert Gilchrist notes his in terest in preserving the heritage of his Scottish and Carolina forebears and in maintaining close and knowledgeable ties of kinship with his readers. There are pictures of ancestors, family reunions, family homes, cemeteries, etc. and facsimile prints of early wills and land con veyances. , JACKSON'S FffiA ROCKFISH RD. RAEFORD, N.C.
