Winton's educational advantages are
very good The Winton Male and Fe-
male Academy, presided over by Prof.
Justice, OF AshevIlle. is doing a most
praisewOrthy work in the development
Of the young in the community. Prof.
Jus ice has had charge Of the school
only about two months, and al.eady he
has made q most favorable and lasting
impression upon the community. His
work in the school room is indeed such
that no other result could follow We
visited his school and observed his
manner Of teaching and his methods Of
discipline. lie is at home in bis WORK
and is full Of personal energy-two
things which VIII make any one a sue
cessful teacher. and without which no
one can succeed. Prof. Justice IS schol-
arly and wlnsome and his patrons are
proud Of his work.
Misses Bum OF Wilson and Mitchell
Of N-inton, are the two charming lady
assistants in the school and their work
and influence are seen IN their several
departments. The pupils Of the school
show good training, a high sense Of
right and promise great credit both to
themselves and their instructors.
Besides this school, there IS also the
Winton High School, presided over BY
Rev. G. &. Williams, which we learned
is also in a hourishlng condition.
Also the colored school, Waters In
stitute, is doing good work for the col
ored people. Its principal is G. 5.
Brown, and we learned that The school
is prosperous and is appreciated. It
was founded by northern people for the
benefit Of the colored people Of that
iNC'i
much aid from the North a formerly
Ninton's population is about 80
it IS Situated on the beautiful, placid
Chowan river and Is indeed an old town
Of pleasant memories and most Hospital
bic people still.
We should be glad to mention many
names, but that might seem invidiOus !;
so we simply say we we're most royalty
entertained, enjoyed the visit and Will
ever remember it pleasantly TIE DEN-
oCRAr received substantial encourage
ment in the way or liberal subscrip-
tons.
