TUESDAY, MA V 28. 1907. - School is over, the books have hn laid aside aeain. and the Young Americas of Gas tonia are planning for their vaca tion. haoDV days. All too r quickly will they pass; before they realize that summer is the call to books will be heard again. Castonia was honored last week by the presence of a large number of noble Christian women, members of the Woman's Home Mission Society of the Western North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Church. Their presence was benediction to the town and their stay, though brief, can but result in benefit to the town. Gastonia's doors are always open to such gatherings of con secreted women ; they are thrice welcome and welcome yet again It was an oversight that did not direct the attention our readers Friday to the we of ac- count of the Battle of the Crater, July 30, 1864, which we reprint ed from The Yorkville (S. C ) Enquirer of April 20, 1882, copy being loaned us by Mr, W. Carson, of this county. the E. It was reprinted in The Enquirer of the above named date from Southern Historical Papers for March, 1882. A number of Gas tonians and Gaston countians were present and engaged in that historical event at Petersburg. Ml J a f 1 1 41ICSC IUU UUUUU(H UMUJ viu&ta will derive great pleasure from reading this article. If you up your Gazette of that date and read this account of that memor able event of the civil war. "On to Richmond" is agaiu the cry as it was forty-odd years ago. The clans are gathering in the Virginia capital for the seventeenth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans. Once more the battles of the war will be fought over, perhaps not by camp fires, but will lose none of their reality and vividness because the de tails of those bloody conflicts are gone over this time under the glare of electric lights, in hotel lobbies or on the sidewalk. It will, indeed, be a great occa sion for these noble heroes who dared and would have died for their beloved Southland. True the ranks are growing thinner and between the dates for each annual reunion many answer the final roll call to join the larger band on the other shore, but those who remain will have their memories and spirits refreshed. Gaston county will be well rep resented and here's , wishing each and every one of them a glorious time. The Gaston of today is proud of the men who fought to defend the home of Gaston of forty-odd years ago and believes that nothing is too good for them. Rev. O. L. Powers, Th. D. pastor of the First Baptist church of High Point, arrived this morning: to con duct the service now in progress at the East Baptist church. Dr. Powers is a preacher of unusual power and Gastonians will have a good opportu nity to hear this remarkabl man preach. Everybody is invited to at tend these service. Consumers should, be on their guard against food articles tha( are, made by ignorant persons in a haphazard manner, as they are likely to proe deleterious to health. 11! V. Ikui AS 3 1!
