GASToN.
Gastonia Gazette, May 8: In the
death Of Mr.. ]. Laban Wilson of the
Union neighborhood, CASTOR county
lost one Of her best citizens and many
suffered the loss Of staunch and true
friend. Mr.. Wilson passed away
about O'Clock Tuesday afternoon ir
the Presbyterian hospital, Charlotte tc
which place he had been taken but g
few days earlier. For days before
the end came all hope Of his recovery
was abandoned and he was taken tc
Charlotte that he might have the clos
est attention of trained nurses in the
hope that his sufferings might to some
extent be alleviated. Loving hands
ministered to him tenderly all through
his illness but naught that man could
do availed anything to stay the insid-
ious disease. Blood poison fastened
it's jealous fangs upon his body and
worked steadily but surely until it had
accomplished it's dire end. ]. Labar
Wilson was fifty-four years Of age
and was born at the old Pettus Riddle
homestead across the line in York
county, S. c., not a great distance from
his late home. He is survived by
three daughters and three sons. They
are Mrs. Mary Patrick and Misses
Lena and Blanche Wilson and Messrs
Henry, Lowry and George Wilson. He
also leaves one half-brother, Mr.. G. L
Riddle Of Zeno. S. c.; one half-sister
Mrs. Jennie Clarke of cambridge
Tenn: one full brother, Mr.. w. w
Wilson, who lives in the Union neigh
borhood, and two full sisters. Mrs. w
n. Craig and Mrs. G. M. Nolen, both
living in the same community. His
wife, who was a daughter Of the late
James M. Craig, preceded him to the
grave about four years. .... Mrs Ad-
die Stewart, wife of Mr.. w. A. Stew
art, died at her home near the Old
Mill Wednesday evening and the body
was taken through the country yester-
day morning to Trinity church on the
Beattie's Ford road, Mecklenburg
county, for interment, accompanied by
members Of the family. Mrs. Stewart
was about 40 years of age. :. A pret-
ty home wedding took place yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home OF
Mr.. w. G. Thomas west Of town, when
Mr.. Eli P. Lineberger led to the hy-
meneal altar Miss Ella Thomas. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. A
T. Lindsay and was witnessed by a
number Of relatives and friends OF
the contracting parties. Last night the
happy young people were rendered a
reception at the home of the groom's
father, Mr.. P. ]. Lineberger, south OF
town. They will reside for a short
time with the groom's father, after
which they will occupy handsome
new cottage which Mr.. Lineberger is

History of jamestown.

1t was on the 18th day Of May,
1907, that the first permanent settle
ment of English speaking people on
the American continent was made at
Jamestown.
jamestown itself was abandoned
more than two centuries ago, nothing
being left now to mark the spot
where it stood except one portion Of
the old brick church tower: but the
name will stand forever bright on the
pages of American history. Two fires
desolated the town, one kindled dur
ing Bacons rebellion in 1916. The 9TH
er an accident twenty years later. At
ter the second fire the seat Of gov
ernment, which had been up to that
time in Jamestown, was removed to
Williamsburg.
The colonists who landed, May 13,
1907, on the eninsula which jutted
into the James, or Powhatan river, as
1t was first called, thirty-five miles
above it's mouth at Hampton Roads,
named their little settlement Fort
James. Later it was called James City,
and still later jamestown. For nearly
two centuries it has been on an island,
the water having washed away the
narrow neck Of land which connected
the main body of the peninsula with
the mainland.
Before a second English settlement
was effected in America the men OF
| jamestown had established not one
village, but several. Within the first
twelve years after the founding of
the colony they had built churches,
established courts, and tried accused
persons by juries, had convened a
legislative assembly whose members
were elected by popular suffrage and
whose duties were to pass all laws
governing the colony, and had begun
a commercial existence as an export
ing people.
1t was in the old Wooden church al
jamestown in June, 1919, that Govern
or Yeardley summoned the first legis-
lative assembly ever called in America
and formally opened the general as
sembly Of America. The assembly was
not an entirely independent body, but
1T was long step in that direction II
made the people Of the colony prouc
Of their home, confident of themselves
and loyal to the mother country.

Kings Mountain News, May 2: Miss
Lima Allison, after a very pleasant
weeks visit to relatives at Yorkville
and TirZah. returned to her home here
last Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. A. r.
Rudisill went to Glover last Wednes-
day to visit their daughter, Mrs. ]. A
Page. We are informed that Will
Rudisill. son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. R.
Rudisill, while fishing in the pond out
at Crowder's Mountain mill one day
last week, caught a black bass that
weighed eight pounds. This was a
fine catch for such a youthful Nimrod
and no doubt made him feel like he
had received a bite. The fif-
teen-year- r-old daughter of Joseph Hy-
der of the Cora mill, died at her home
there on last Saturday night from
consumption, and was buried at the
cemetery here on Sunday evening af-
ter funeral services conducted by Rev.
G. F.. Kirby. We are informed that
this is the fifth member Of Mr.. Hy-
der's family that has died from this
same disease in the past five years.
