Seven early Iredell homes and the old Centre Church at Mt. Mourne will be on the tour. The tour may begin at any one of the homes or at Centre Church, Tickets and maps with directions to the homes will be ‘available at each place on-the tour and tickets are also avail- able at the “Curiosity Shop, Nita’s, and at the Statesville Record & Landmark. Members of the garden clubs in Harmony, Mooresville and Statesville will decorate the homes and the women at Centre will decorate the church, all ‘‘in the fashion of the yesteryears.” The homes include Daltonia, residence of Mr. and- Mrs. Harry Thompson of Houston- ville, Hollingswood, home of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Hollings- worth at Cool Springs; the C. V. Henkel house at Turnersburg, now owned by Wesley Shell; Mr. and Mrs. David Andrews, home on Water St., Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Bunch, Jr.; North Center St.; and Mr. and Mrs. John H. Gray, Jr., South Center St., all of Statesville, as well as the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mott at Mt. Mourne. “One of ‘thé most beautiful examples of colonial architec- ture in the county is the home of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Gray, Jr., on South Center St., Statesville. This house, with its tall white columns supporting an upper porch which runs the full length of the front of the house, was built by Col. F. A. Sharpe before the War Between the Stress: When the Grays became owners of the house, they brought with them their 16- month-old son, who is now Dr. John H. Gray, III of Winston- Salem, but has called the house home ever since, No. architectural: lines have been changed, but the interior of the house was re-designed to give a more convenient and de- corative atmosphere. The ar- ched doorways and the mir- rored paneling around the fire- place and windows in the draw- ing room are examples, Among the most prized pos- sessions to be on display for the tour will be a tea set used by Dolly Madison when she was First Lady at the White House, - and the coat of arms of Richard de Clare, a signer of the Magna Carta and ancestor of the fam- ily. ; In the front hallway is a large painting “Rebecca at the Well” by Mr. Gray’s mother. Along the graceful stairways are the coats of arms of the family and a cherub-like photograph of “little John.” In the formal drawing room is an exquisite, Chinese rug, hand- made in shades of blue. Re- flected in the overall decor of the room, it gives a perfect set- ting for the large collection of Meissen china on a French break front and other family heirlooms. Among the treasured pos- sessions are the ‘great chair’’ with a heart-shaped back and a rocking chair with delicate blue silk upholstering, which were a wedding gift to Mrs, Gray’s grandparents. English antique tables hold two exquisite Vene- tian glass lamps. In this room a chandelier which at one time hung in the We've got it all... £5 4 i i.e White House and was presented to the Grays by a relative, is a Conversation piece among many other interesting and carefully preserved items. Being surrounded by museum pieces of furniture and objects de art, the Gray’s have given to this house the love and gracious living which make a real home. Club Members Party Is Held Members of the Senior Citi- zens Golden Age Club met Thursday at the home of Mrs. W. J. Parks in Chipley Park for their Christmas party.

"Your centennil number of the First Presbyterian Church, was very interesting to an absent chtisen, and I was pleased to find but one small error--that of the local Andrew Caldwell family being credited to a brother David Caldwell, of Fifth Creek near Cool Springs, “They both married daughters of William Sharpe. Ruth, the second daugiiter was the mother of Judge Navid F, Caldwell, Joseph P,Caldweli, Joseph r, Caldwell, Dr, £lam Caldwell and three daughters. So much to keep history straight. . "The writers impression is that three brothers, David, Joseph and .nirew, came from Cecil county, Maryland, along with many other Scotch-Irish of the county. All of them built mills of Fifth creek, Joseph built what was later known as the Summers mill, near the Summers grave yard. He later bought Kastler mill, south of town, then into south Iredel). a ' OF the seven Presbyterian churches built in Chester. county Pennsylvania between the vears of I720 and 1743, by the Scotch-Irish, one of them proved to be in Cecil county, Maryland when the state line was run, The deecendarts of these families crossed the Trading Ford of the Yadkin river accord ing to a memoranda of the Clark family, in 174%, to join a few settlers in that fertile region, “From [745-1781, Popular Tent wae sparcely settled with scotche lrish emigrants from Pennsylvania end Cecil county, Maryland.

Later he retloved with his son-in-law? ~| Baker, to a point between Center church and the Catawba river and was 5 buried there underneath a building intended for a church, to keep the | Indians from desecrating his grave. P ) "But to return to Poplar Tent: David Crawford, born in Ireland, moved | to America in 1740, and settled in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. in 1750 he married Mary Young, and had seven children. , "The family moved to North Carolina about 1770, and settled one mile .| southeast of Poplar Tent.

That is the name of the township and has been “since the townships were named | just after the close of the civil | war. Just this summer the name lhas been given to the new tele- | phone exchange that. serves that corner of the county, But before ithe township was formed or the telephone exchange, built, it was the name of a post office in that | section. In fact, some such name goes back to 1827 and possibly before, One of the post offices of Iredell that year was New Hope Forge, and its postmaster was Azel Sharpe, Azel Sharpe was part own- er of an iron forge on Rocky Creek, but the name of that gorge was not New Hope but Fair Hope. However, the name of Fair Hope had already been preempted by another North Caroling post office, and Sharpe had undoubtedly taken | econd best. | In 1827 the forge partnership ,was undergoing dissolution and imost likely it was going out of | business, At any rate the name ‘New Hope for a post office was \taken the very next year by an- ‘other Iredell county community, land the supposition is that Azel | continued. The new post office was in eastern Iredell, somewhere in the Cool Springs section, It was, named for a Baptist church, which few years before the Fair Hope ; TYPEWRITER SERVICE : 110 W. Front 8t. .

By 1846 the post office depart- ment was listing another New| Hope, with James McHargue as| postmaster, The se*tion that had first taken the name in connec- tion with a post office had taken it back, and that name has be- come permanently connected with the northwest corner of the county, There is still a New Hope post of- fice there, only about a mile from what was likely the site of the old New Hope forge. The forge that first started the name that has come to be associa- ted with the corner of the county represents possibly Iredell’s only venture into the production of iron It was a partnership between Azel Sharpe and his father, Joseph Sharpe, Their partnership agree- ment is recorded in the old Iredell deed books and tells an interestng story, “Article of agreement,” it reads, “entered into the 9th day of 1807 between Joseph Sharpe and his son, duel Shain see eat Te sald Joseph doth by these presents con- vey to the said Azel one third part of the tract of land and premises whereon Fair Hope Forge and the adjacent mills stand, containing 183 acres, more or less, in fee simple, which includes one third part of the said forge and mills together with one third part of the profits which may arise from any improvement which may hereafter be made on the said tract of land or apendant lands, “Joseph conveys to Azel one) third of the bounty lands which may have been entered in the en- try takers offices in Iredell and Wilkes agreeable to the act of the assembly to encourage the erec- ing and bearing one third part of all the labor, trouble and expense in carrying on the said forge and mills and smith shop and other ap- pendages. And in like manner Jo- seph stands engaged for two thirds of the labor, etc. It is clearly un- derstood that the profits arising from this co-partnership be two until the dissolution of this agree- ment which shall not take place except with death or the consent of the parties.” Joseph Sharpe, a Revolutionary war veteran, had brought the tract oftand on which Fair Hope was sit- uated in 1805 from Daniel Looper. From the best evidence, the tract lay on Rocky Creek just above where Highway 115 now crosses it. Before that he had lived on Snow Creek, He was a brother of Wil- tion of iron works. The said Aze)| shall be subject to doing and pay-| thirds to the said Joseph and one | third to the said Azel, continually | sibly had a betier right to the name | congregation and of/John Sharpe, draftu of New Hope. [who was killed at/the battle of S. ne The postmaster of the new post, Ramseur's mill, Daring the Revo-> spot office was Milton Campbell. Some-| lution he had beef active, first in| hewap un early expedition into): South 1836, Milton Campbell moved into | Carolina to com¥at the tories there then in the expedition across the| mountains to fight the Cherokees; | and in the last of the war he had | taken. over /eommand of Captain, Houston's pany when that one had been at Ramseurs Mill and helpe feene cover his re-| treat between the Catawba fords and the Yadkin, It is likely that he established the Fair Hope forge as much to get the hounty lands as to manu facture iron. The = iron was most likely hauled in wagons from ore the iron ore section county just outside Lincdinion, It would have been. necessary to ‘have forded the Catawha with it Such a process would not likely have been too profitable,, although iron was a staple commodity hand led by all of the stores of the period, and there was a detinite demand for it. The bounty lands offered a defl- nite inducement for the establish: | ment of an iran manufactory. In 1788, ‘the same session that Iredell county had been formed, a lav had been passed authorizing any- one who intended to start a forg to enter his clai minto three thous- and acres of state land, provided the land. was declared not to be good agricultural land. Then when the forge had produced five thous- and pounds of iron, the land would be granted to the manufacturer In 1804, before he bought the site for the Fair Hope forge, Joseph Sharpe had entered a claim to 2255 acres of land in the Brushy mountains al] the way up to the Wilkes county line; the agreement with Azel Sharpe indicates that the rest of the three thousand acrés was in Wilkes. In 1809 the bouny land became his. The next year one forge Was listed in the census for Iredell, Lincoln and Burke counties had many more, and some of those in Burke were in the part that became Alexander, Most of them were producing far more iron than .‘air Hope forge, so it was not one of the larger forges By. 1826 the forge was evidently ties. It was given as security on a note to Robert Simonton. The next year the Sharpes ended their partnership and made a division of the assets. Joseph Sharpe was given his two thirds, which includ- ed certain tracts of land, certain slaves which went with the prop- ces of furniture;. Azel was given the rest, The inventory of property divided indicates that even with a mortgage on the forge itself, there was still quite a bit to be divided Evidently in spite of the difficul- ties of running a forge away from the source of ore, it had made money for its owners, Koreans are fond of whale meat liam Sharpe, who drew the well which looks like beef. ome i Te INTELLIGENT BEINGS. . .
