History, he said, had always linked Wilkes county with the area in and around Winston jal- em since the earliest settlers and James L. Turner, one of the pioneers in the bnsinees Ufe of North Wllkesboro, was found dead in bed at his home Satur day morning. Mr. Turner, who was 76 years of age, bad been in ill health for several years but had not been oonfined to hla home and on Fri day his health was apparently normal at the tinre he retired for the night.
