jamestown island, in Virginia, is
unit of the Colonial National mon
ument. In the party that established
the settlement was Capt John
Smith. who arrived in the hold Of
the tiny vessel in irons but soon
was released to become a leader Of
the colony and one of the romantic
figures of the Colonial days. 1t was
a few years after the arrival Of
the party that John Rolfe married
POcahontas.
After years of tragedy and suf-
fering. including Indian maSSacres,
famine, fire and pestilence James
town became the center of a pros
porous colony. In 1899, after a
vote by the General Assembly, the
seat of government of Virginia was
moved from jamestown to Middle
Plantation. now Williamsburg. With
the passing of the capital James
town was abandoned and reclaimed
by wilderness.
The Association for the Preserva-
tion of Virginia Antiquities several
years ago obtained about twenty
acres of land on the island where
a number of early American relics
were found. Recently the remainder
of the island was purchased by the
federal government for national
park purposes.
] Plans for surveying the island
and the locating Of the foundations
of the early homes have been made
by B. Floyd Flickinger, superintend-
ent of the Colonial National monu-
ment. At present several sites are
being considered for the camp OF
the C. C. C. company. which soon
| is to be moved from Yorktown to
jamestown. A level open space near
the bridge connecting the island
/ with the mainland has been chosen
tentatively. Once the camp is In
stalled it is planned to survey the
entire island by dividing it into ION
square foot areas and exploring
/ each separately.

DEATH OF EDWARD WARD
A form long familiar to this
community will be seen no more.
About six o'clock on Monday
morning last at the Pennsylvania
Hospital in Philadelphia, whittier
he had gone to undergo a very
painful surgical operation, Edward
Ward quietly passed away. He
was in his Goth year, and for so Of
them has ben an almost constant
sufferer, yet with all most pa
tient one, rarely murmering. He
was born near Kenton on what is
known as the Tilghman tract.
When baout six years of age, he
attended camp meeting at
Greenswoods, and before reaching
home got thoroughly wet by a
rain storm. This brought on an
attack of rheumatism that COM
pletely deformed him. When about
Is years of age he went to work
with a shoemaker named Purse ir
Duck Creek. firing of this trade
he two or three years later opened
a confectionery store of his owr
in this town. In this venture hi
was very successful, and in 1885,
added the clothing business to thai
he was pursuing. For thirty years
or more he had been most faith
full and consistent member of tht
Methodist Church. He died in th'
faith in which he had thus Ions
lived. His funeral yesterday after
noon, from the residence of his sis
ter, Mrs. Phillips, on South Street
was very largely attended. Inter
ment was made in the Odd Eel
lows Cemetery.
