DEATH OF FLOYD PURsER DAVIS.

The gentle, Christian spirit of this
noble young man passed from the
scenes of earth to the glory of the
"Sweet by-and-by" on Saturday morn
ing, September Is, at McComb, where
he had gone to take charge of de-
partment in the machine shops.
Brother Floyd Davis was born near
Mt. Zion church in Lincoln county
Miss, on the 10th day of November
1877, and died September 18th, 1902,
making him "a years, months and
days old. He was the son of our con-
sistent brother and sister, Anderson
and Ella (Lee) Davis. Brother Floyd
Davis was devout and earnest mem
Der of Little Bahala Baptist church.
He delighted and took great interest
in Sunday school, prayer meeting and
church services. Far from home, with
no maternal hand to soothe or soften
his last pillow or to cool his fevered
brow, he had the Bible read and prayer
offered by ministerial brother, and
manifested a Christian hope, by stating
that he was prepared and willing to
die. Thus passes away one of our
most noble and honored young Chris
tian citizens. If he had an enemy or
possessed faults, those who knew him
best were ignorant of such. "To know
him was to- love him"
The burial took place at Little Ba-
hala cemetery. The funeral services
were conducted by our much beloved
divine, Bro. Lee, of Wesson. Many
were the relatives and friends who
gathered together last Sunday evening
to pay the deceased the last tribute of
respect, and to express sympathy to his
bereaved family. Dear Floyd, we
know that thou art now brightly
blooming DER the gloom of the grave!
Still we regret your loss,-that your
dear parents should be so bereaved of
their devoted son, and will no more
see your beaming face, and hear your
merry laugh. Alas! that one so young
and noble should moulder in the silent
tomb. Dear parents, our sympathies
go out for you.
dearest Floyd, thou hast left us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel:
| But it's God who has bereft us,
| He can ali our sorrows heal.
Floyd, dear, we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
When in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed''

JamestONn Island.

What is now jamestown Island was in
the days Of Pocahontas "A peninsula. and
upon this peninsula was planted the first
permanent English colony in America
The landing took place May -. 1907,
and for many years il was the scene of a
grim struggle with hostile Indians. with
famine and disease. Capt John Smith.
the Governor, was the hero of the play,
and the story of Pocahontas is familiar
to all. Smith fell into the hands of the
Indians and his life was saved by the
daughter of the Indian King. James
town Island is now owned by Mr.. Ed
ward L. Barney, VINO has done much to
improve the property. The walls of the
old house in which he lives were built in
1910, and the house is fine specimen of
of colonial architecture. 1t was burned
by the British in l776, and, having been
rebuilt, was again burned by the Feder-
ais in 1862.
The town of Jamestown disappeared
soon after the seat of government was
removed to Williamsburg, in 1905. and
now the site upon which it stood has
nearly disappeared. having been washed
away by the James river, whose waters
cover the greater part OF the location.
When Sir Thomas Gates got to James.
town in May, 1910, he found only rem
nant OF the colony left, and these in sad
straits from hunger and disease. The
whole company embarked on his ships to
return to England. A few miles down
the river a number of men disembarked
To hunt wild hogs on Hog Island. A de-
lay of two days here decided the fate of
the infant colony. for during this tine
news was received that Lord De La War;
had arrived at Old Point with reinforce
ments and supplies, and 80 the colonist
returned to their abandoned homes at
jamestown. The colonists increased in
number rapidly, and the cultivation of
tobacco brought prosperity. In 1919 it
was that a shipload of young women ar
rived imported to supply the planters
with wives. In 1922 800 ofthe colonists
IN the outlying plantations around
jamestown were massacred by the In.
dians. In 1919, during Bacon's rebellion
the rebels captured and burned lanes
towd, and, although it was partially re-
built, this destruction marked the heo;r
ming OF its decline.
There are many interesting relics on the
island, chief OF which is portion of the
ancient church. IL is surrounded NV
gravestones, and the church tower. with
32 acres, including the graveyard Is in
