, settlement at jamestown to sur
vive the privations and difficult
ties that encompassed 1t during
those first years. There in 1907
was made the first permanent
English colony in America. The
charter given by King James |
to what was known as the Lon
don company, under whose aus
pieces jamestown and the later
Virginia settlements were found
ed, designated that this colony
should extend POO miles north
and 200 miles south of Old
Point Comfort and stretch west
ward to the sea. Under the reign
Of Charles ii 1t was considered
such an important colony that ii
was called the fourth dominion
of his empire, that is, England,
Scotland, Ireland and Virginia.
From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The
name Virginia itself means the
virgin land and was so called
after Queen Elizabeth. the "Vir-
gin Queen" The early govern
ment of Virginia is of great in
terest. At first communism was
tried, under which system the
land and all property was owned
in common and all profits were
divided equally. This proved a
disastrous failure. In 1919 the
first real representative govern
ment in the colonies was estaD- :
lished, called the house of bur-
gesses, which continued in force
under varying fortunes until Vir-
ginia Joined the Union and be-
came the tenth state in 1888.
Much might be written of the
character of the early Virginian ,
settlers and their great influence
on American life. From Virginia :
has sprung two other states,
Kentucky and West Virginia.
Even so, the states present area !
is 1927 square miles. Politi-
cally the Old Dominion state is .
entitled to twelve presidential !,

age of the southern states.

IN 1876, the Centennial year,
when special emphasis was be-

throughout the world The
Sioux Indians had been driven
into Montana by the gold miners,
and the United States govern
ment took steps to force them
back into their reservations. Cen
eral Custer, with less than 800
men, set out to round up the
tribes which were on the war
path, and at the Little Bighorn
river, was ambushed by Sitting
Bull and 5000 warriors. Custer
and all his troopers were killed.
Soon after this massacre the In
dams were defeated and many
of them fed TO Canada.
