is a modern brick structure and seems a

buildings which, by their ancient and

I for tb fiwt time.

Among these in a grove at the aoutli
W09t of the towo is that of General Wni.

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

noted fr having boeii ut different times
the headiiiiarli'ts of a part of three
