THE GRADED SCHOOL CLOSES.
Interesting Exercises of the GRADUATING
Clast.

>~s~ss-@0
! Clast.
Last Thursday was Il proud day in the
! history of Winston. The occasion was the
graduation of the first class that has CON-
pleted the course of study at the Graded
School. The class numbered sixteen, four
| male and twelve female, but as to appear
ance and intelligence, it is class of which
Winston and her school may well feel proud.
To those interested in the institution and
to those desiring educational progress in
our community, the exercises were exceed
ingly gratifying.
At lO a. III. the spacious assembly room
was filled. and soon the graduating class en-
tered and took seats on the rostrum The
exercises were opened with prayer by Dr.
c. Fl. Wiley, after which the class exercise.
were introduced by James K. Norheet,
President of the class. Prof Tomlinson an.
nounced that these were independent of the
graduating exercises proper, that the pupils
OF the class had gotten them up without
help from teachers and had intended giving
them some weeks ago when the class-trse
planted. They were short and interest
ing, consisting of a history of the class by
James Wiley. poem by Miss Annie Wi
ley, an essay by Miss Mamie Martin. and
prophecy, giving the future of the individ-
ual members of the class by VIM. G. Masten
Al the conclusion of the prophecy, Prof
Tominson introduced Prof VIM. A Blair,
the orator of the day. His theme was "We
can do what we will to do His address
was pronounced by all one of the best that
they had ever heard on such an OCCASION
1t was truly gem, and its author is man
whose character and ability promises.much
to The honor of North Carolina. His power
of thought, expression, and delivery COM
bine to make him an unusually pleasant
and forcible speaker.
Next came the presentation of diplomas
by DIR. Wiley, Chairman of the Board, and
afterwards the presentation of three medals
by Hon. J. c. Buxton, each making a few
remarks appropriate to the occasion. The
names of those receiving Diplomas were:-
Misses Annie Barham, Maude Broadway,
Nellie Grogan, Minnie Grogan, Mamie
Martin, Minnie Ogburn, Ada Roam, Julia
Roam, Ada Thornburg, Isabel Warner, Lola
White and Annie Wiley; Thos. B. Crawford,
VIM. c. Masten. James K Norfleet and Jas.
W. Wiley.
Two medals had been offered by the Pea
body Fund-one to the boy aud the other to
the girl who received the highest grade in
the graduating class. James K. Norfieet
was the leader among the boys and the
leader Of the class; among the girls ii was
impossible to decide between Miss Minnie
Ogburn and Miss Ada Roam. So another
medal was secured and medal was pre-
scented to each of the three. In presenting
these medals, Mr.. Buxton spoke warmly
to the high standing of our Graded School
and its future prospects. He denominated
the occa on an "epoch in Winston's his

After fne medals were presented. DIR.
Wiley pronounced the benediction and the
audience dispersed, feeling prouder than

A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE THE CAUSE
OF IT
Mr.. n. f. Reid, Brother of Congressman
Reid Attacks John X. Webster of
the Reidsviile Weekly

The Danville Daily Register of the It'll
contained the following:
The last issue of Webster's Weekly, pub
lished at Reidsville, n. c., contained an ar
ticle which reflected on Hon. James w
Reid, Congressman from the Fifth North
Carolina District. Yesterday afternoon Mr.
n. +. Reid, Il brother of the Congressman,
met Mr.. j. R. Webster, editor of the paper
and they had difficulty in which Mr.
Webster was badly beaten over the head
and Mr.. Reid was shot in the arm.
1t is not in the province of this paper to
go into detailed statement OF the cause of
dispute. Mr.. Webster says he had the
charge against Congressman Reid from re-
liable man and wrote i letter to Mr.. Reid
giving him an opportunity to vindicate him.
self. That he held his paper over for some
days, but had no reply from Mr., Reid and
the article was printed. He says he came
to the city yesterday and stopped at the Arl-
ington. He saw Mr.. Reid and Mr.. John W
Smith in the hotel talking together and
while at supper told Il gentleman that he
feared he was about to have a difficulty.
That he left the dining room and took Il seat
in the office.-That soon after sitting down
his attention was attracted by footsteps and
turning he saw Mr.. Reid approaching him.
That Mr.. Reid raised stick he held in his
hand and struck him three blows on the
head, when he (Webster) drew his pistol
and fired. That he was then caught and
held while Mr.. Reid beat him. He was
badly bruised over the head.
Mr.. Reid says that as soon as his brother
heard of the report about him he came home
and at buckingham courthouse got the COM
mlssloners to investigate the matter and
they made the following report:
We have examined into and inyestigat-
ed the same at the instance of NJ Reid and
take pleasure in stating that Mr. Reid's ac-
ton in said matter was had with full knowl-
edge and concurrence of the board and is en-
tlrely satisfactory to us. We further state
that the county's Indebtedness was correctly
set forth in the last exhibit published on
December 11th, 1885"
lSigned. Al. ELLINGTON,
Chairman of the Board of County Commits
sloners, the others concurring.
This report, he says, was prepared on Nav
3rd and that Mr.. Webster was present when
the report was read, but published the Of
iensive article in the face OF these facts.
As to the difficulty Mr.. Reid says he went
to the hotel last evening and as Mr. Webster
came out of the Dining room he approach
ed him and said, . See here Mr.. Webster
when Webster began to draw his pistol He
then dealt Webster blow with the stick, at
the same time grabbing his arm to force the
pistol down. He was holding Websters arm
when the shot was fired. Mr. Reid saws he
has lived in Danville for nine years and
never had difficulty before.
He was shot in the left arm, but the
wound is not at all serious.
Both gentlemen were taken before Justice
III. A. Wiseman and bailed for their appear
ance before the Mayors court Saturday
The affair is much regretted here.
