The hotel above mentioned, is a modern brick structure and seems a little out of place among the surrounding buildings which, by their ancient and quaiut appearance, cannot fail to interest I for tb fiwt time. "flood by," the valleys echo, "Good by" the hills repeat; "Good by," from daisied meadows, from gardens violet -sweet; And liells in dells of twilight, beneath a iiitty sky, Seem singing in their ringing' "Good by --good by.

Here men high in the oouncils of State and oaiiou have lived and died and while they havi passed awuv their lives have left their impress on the whole community , Tli homes of some of theui are still poiuted out by those who venerate their memory Among these in a grove at the aoutli W09t of the towo is that of General Wni. I l, yjje, who by his stubborn resistance at the Court House, in Charlotte, of the advance of the army of Corowallis, won for that village the soubriquet of "Hor nets Neat" which that offiier bestowed upon it, He also figures in the history of the State as officiating as Grand Master of Masons in laying the ooroer stone of the Uuiverstty at Chapel Hill. The place has been kept up and of course changed, as it has loug since passed into the bands of stranger. On the next lot to this stands the Masonic Lodge. It is kept in good repair, but is among the oldest buildings as well as lodges in the Stale. At the ixtremc south of the town there is a large grove in which stands the wreck ot a houao built by Willie Jones, the patriot son of Hubert Jones, the Attorney General of North Carolina to His Majesty King George H, in 174'J He died while bis son Willie was at Katon College, Kngland.

This old house is noted fr having boeii ut different times the headiiiiarli'ts of a part of three armies.
