Ridgeway High School.

Prof. John Graham, an educator of
ability, who has been successfully
teaching school i'll Warren county for
many years, has leased the splendid
brick hotel building at Ridgeway and
will open the Ridgeway High School
for boys and girls, September 4th.
Here Prof. Graham will have ample
accommodations for pupils and will be
assisted by an excellent music teacher,
and also by his daughter, who is a re-
cent full graduate and young lady of
accomplishments and attainments.
Ridgeway is fine location for a good
school. 1t is pleasant and healthy
place and the indications are favorable
to the building up Of a flourishing school
there. Prof. Graham has been teach
ing since 1865, and as careful, pains
taking and thorough instructor is too
we'll and favorably known to require
anything more from us than the mere
mention of his name in connection with
the Ridgeway High School. See adj
vertisement in another column of this
| paper.

Vance Academy.

AS will be seen by reference to adj
vertisement in another column. the
name of the Henderson High School
has been changed to Vance Academy.
We like the change. 1t gives it a
broader and more significant term and
makes it partake more of the nature,
in name at least. of a county institu-
ton, besids being compliment to our
distinguished Senator in honor OF
whom it takes its name. As to the
merits of the school there is little room
for improvement. To say that it will
continue to be under the same man
agement as heretofore, with Mrs. NJ.
Parham and Mrs. w. d. Horner as
principals, is all that need be said in
its favor. Both are highly cultivated
ladies and teachers of long experience.
and Vance Academy will retain the
prestige it has won as the Henderson
High School. Fall term begins Sep

Capt. w. j. Rogers for Congress End
Congressional District.
Mr.. EDITOR:-When our County Con-
vention elected delegates to the congress
sional convention there were but two
names mentioned for the nomination,
the Hon. +. M. Simmons and Capt. W.
II. kitchin. Since then both of these
gentlemen have withdrawn from the race,
and two candidates have been put in
nomination by the Alliance OF their re-
spactive counties, viz: Lenoir county
Alliance has suggested the name of Mr..
J. NJ. Mewberne and Northampton county
Alliance that of Capt. W. j. Rogers.
These gentlemen will be before our con-
gressional convention.
The undersigned has not the pleasure
of knowing Mr.. Mewberne, and can t say
what has been his record as a sound
Democrat. But we know Capt. Rogers
and can testify that no gentleman stands
higher in the estimation of his neighbOrs
and countymen. He graduated at the
University in 1859 and Immediately on
the breaking out Of the war volunteered
in the army and served most faithfully
and gallantly. Ever since the war he has
been devoted to his profession, that of
farming, and though always taking the
deepest interest in the success of the Dem
Ocratic party, has never been a candidate
for public Office that am aware of. He
has been President of his County Alliance
for the past two years, and is the unani-
nous nominee OF his county as candidate
for congress.
| hazard nothing in saying no county
| in the State has been truer to the Demo-
cratic party than Northampton. Hope
lessly in the minority, her people have
always responded to the call and cast
their full vote when there was no proba-
| bility of success.
| Now that her favorite son failed to get
the nomination for Judge, let Vance
| county do her utmost to show her friends
in Northampton that we are willing to
do what we can to help a Northampton
county man who is in every way worthy
OF our support. VANCE.

Mrs. Garden, Of this place, has been
elected to a position as teacher, as
mentioned in these columns last week.
It is an institution Of high grade, for
young ladies, and ranks among the
best schools in the country. We quote
from a circular before us:
"The school is most fortunate in its
Faculty. 1t has four teachers who
have had the great advantage of Euro
pean study. The Latin teacher is from
Harvard University; the lady Princi-
pal has had great experience, and is
one of the most able, energetic and ac-
complisbed teachers, and those in
charge Of the preparatory and primary
departments have peculiar power O
imparting knowledge, as has been
shown by the many acknowledgements
made by patrons. of the rapid progress
of their pupils. The names and works
| of the Music and Art teachers have
been too we'll and favorably known il
the South to need more than a word o
mention, and the Principal, in hi
whole experience, has never met :

In recent private letter to Col.
Burgwyn, Hon. H. G. Common, of Will

that it would be no breach Of propriety

your beautiful town. I have been, dur

in the State, and nowhere have I seen
so much energy and enterprise coupled
with SO much that is refined and hospi-
table as in Henderson. 1t is unfortu-
nately true that in some of sur new
and enterprising towns there is an alb
sence, to a great extent, of those men,
tai, moral and social qualities which
we value so highly as peculiar to our
Southern people. This is not true of
Henderson, but there is happy blend
