THE JAMESTOWN OF TODAY.
Cherries and Lonely, 1t Is Little
More Than a Mass of Ruins.

So cherries and lonely is James
town island today and so complete
are the seven miles of wilderness,
which by a road, little better than a
cart-path, connects it with Williams
burg, that one finds it hard to realize
how important was the town that
stood there during the seventeenth
century. While the final decline OF
jamestown as center of authority
and OF commerce is usually attributed
to Bacon's rebellion, during which the
village was burned, that calamity did
no, lead to its ABANDONMENT for its
population was considerable till very
near the end of the century. Here
had assembled il 1919 the first legis-
lative body on this continent, consist
ing of thirty-two representatives and
about here the stirring events of 4
hundred years of formative history
seem to cluster.
The ruins of Jamestown, which are
within stones throw of the landing
place, look as the pictures in the
biographies and school histories have
represented them for the last fifty
years. The crumbling tower of the
old church does not appear to have
lost brick since the picture-makers
began their popularizing work.
jamestown was merely a peninsula
at the time of its settlement, but is
now very distinctly an island. con-
nected with the main land by simple
wooden bridge at least fifty feet long.
Biologists say that this coast is
settling and that in few centuries
more jamestown island may drop off
the map altogether. 1t is so low now
as to make it hard to understand why
the settlers should have chosen it.
Their letter of instructions warned
them against low and damp land as
liable to prove malarious, and here at
high tide the rising waters are de-
scribed as having half covered the
peninsula. This doubtless offered an
element of military security, since the
narrow neck was easy to defend
jamestown was formally abandoned
by its English settlers on Thursday,
June Z, 1910. On their way down the
river, it will be remembered, they
met Lord Delaware with three we'll
stocked ships and so they turned
around and went back Jamestown
has thus had its ups and downs from
the start, and perhaps it's present as-l
pect of depression will be succeede u
by new lease of life when the trolleya
car comes. At all events, there is to-
day little but ruins on Jamestownf{

came to this country were landed Isl
also pointed out. On the waterfront

farmhouses but after a distance or
