burg. have been provided for to carry
visitors to the famous spot. James.
town is historically the most interest.
ing point in America. 1t was the first
English settlement, antedating that ct
plymouth by thirteen years. 1t was
the place where the first legislative as
sembly was ever held IN the new world,
one having been held there in 1919, IA
year before the settlement at Plymouth.
If was the locality OF the romantic ex.
ploits OF Capt. john Smith aud the
church is where PocAhontas was bap.
tised and afterwards married to John
Rolte.
The island is naturally one of great
beauty, and the old ruins there are full
of interest. The difficulty in reaching
jamestown has always kept excursion
lists from going there, and therefore
this offers rare privilege to see this
historical spot Mt slight expense and
loss OF time.
Virginians DO no: pay enough atien-
ton 10 our ancient ruins. They are
neglected and allowed to go 10 decay.
Similar places in the North are cared
for and beautifed, as far as art can
beauty nature, and therefore it is
patriotic duty to support this society
in Its efforts to preserve from oblivion
The famous places in our history. No
better education can he given our
children than to make them familiar
with tho early history OF our State and
the achievements Of our ancestors,
THERE'S hardly aschoolbOy in the United
States who cannot tell the name OF the

ton as to our first settlements. Why
should there be this difference?
The story of early Virginia i full of
romance and attraction, and it is hoped
that interest In 1t may be revived by
the Antiquarian Society, aud this cele
bratlon OF the settlement OF Jnmes
town may tend TO difluse knowledge
OF II more generally, end to make these
old localities places of more frequent

Antiquity Society is to preserve his

Norfolk should be well represented
