timately come before any regular

of especial local interest will be the

CASTOR and the Dedication.
Gastonia Gazette: The Gazette Is
in hopes that the meeting at this place
Yesterday Of the executive committee
of the Kings Mountain Monument as
sociation will result in q very much
increased interest on the part OF Gas
ton county neople, in the dedication or
the new monument which Is to take
place on October 7th, at the battle
ground The nearness of the battle
ground to the county line makes 1t
possible for all who will, to attend the
exercises at slight cost and very little
inconvenience, and we shall hope that
when the day comes there will be on
hand, at least a creditably large repre-
sentation from CASTOR. The people
of CASTOR surely have as much right
to be proud Of the glorious victory won
for American independence as have
the people Of any of the neighborinS
counties, for numbers of the partic-
ipants in the memorable battle were
residents Of what Is now CASTOR coun-
ty. We hope also that CASTOR people
will do their part toward raising the
funds which are necessary to pay the
expenses of the dedication ceremonies
and we feel sure that they will do so.
The Gazette will be glad to receive,
and forward to the treas
urer subscriptions to this fund.
