JoNEsBoRo HIGH SCHOOL.
1t Has Closed The Most Prosperous Year in
Its History.
editorial Correspondence.)


Jonesboro, N. c., June S.-Twenty
five years ago there was established
here the Jonesboro High School by the
District Conference of the Methodist
church, and during that quarter of a
century it has been like city set upon
a hill, giving light to all about. 1t
has had it's days of large and small
attendance, but all these years it has
been doing much to bring about a real
educational revival. In all sections of
the State you will find useful men and
women who have received their prepa'
ration for life here. The surroundings
are all that could be desired for
good preparatory school. This is one
of the healthiest sections of the State,
being just on the edge of the famous
sand belt. This section is peopled by
thrifty people, who educate their chill
dren and train them to right living. 1t
is not expansive. These influences are
all that are needed about such a school.
Jonesboro High School enrolled nearly
two hundred pupils, which is high wa.
ter mark in it's history Under the
management of Prof. Palmer Dalrym-
pie, the able head of the school, who
has leased the property for term OF
ten years, it is doing excellent work
Mr.. Dalrymple was born here and his
success is at variance with the old say
that "a prophet is not without honor
save in his own country" for Mr.. Dali
rymple has closed a year of marked
success. He has a faculty of eight,
and they are capable and well trained
teachers. Mr. Dallymple is a graduate
of the University
The commencement exercises this
week have been full of interest and the
attendance has served to show the in
terest which Jonesboro takes in its
school. 1t is a credit to the town and
to the county, and is doing work that
will tell for good for all time.
Jonesboro is a solid town, it's indus
tries are prospecting, and it's people
stand equal to any in those virtues that
make an ideal community.

Morehead, N c., June S.-The favorite
coast resort Of the best people of the
State will open on the 18th of June. and
on the 18th the season will be brilliantly
inaugurated by german, which promises
to be exceptionally enjoyable
Morehead is to Carolina what a com
bination of the "White Sulphur" and "Old
Point" would be to Virginians.
This great coast resort of the Carolinas
and Georgia has the fashion and gayety
of 1.-The White" its juleps and its exauis-
ite germans, combined with the surf and
sea breezes of "Old Point, and Morehead
furnishes in addition such sails and fish
ing joys as Old Point could never have.
To Morehead, season after season come
the beauties of the east and west, from
local laurels and conquests fresh, for lar
ger festivities, and the States recogni-
ton of this belleship, which ilorehead
gives.
Here for generations the Old North
State has gathered her best and fairest,
her wealth and fashion, her wit, gayety
and intellect, and Morehead knows not
that scourges of summer resorts-a scar
city of men.
The fame of it's fishing and the thous-
ands of other things that make life worth
the living, and summer pleasant, being
beaux as we'll as bellies and every "JiIl"
has her appropriate swain and some have
many.
The historic ball room of the Atlantic
Hotel, whose wide balconies look in on
the brilliant throng of dancers, and out
on the moonlit sound this ROOM whose
polished floor has been traversed by the
Cinderella-lite slippers of Cardinals fair
est daughters; this lovely, spacious ball
room, the best absolutely on the Atlantic
Coast, will be the inspiring scene Of the
dance on the 18th, the first of record
breaking season.
For the Scovilles-the South's leading
hotel men, have the Atlantic Hotel again

nomenal for such an early date For
the festivities of the 18th both railroads
and the hotel arrangements offer unusual
rates and facilities.
The Atlantic gives a dollar and half
rates and the railroads very greatly re-
duced round trip tickets, which will be
good until Tuesday. So that those who
wish needed and invigorating change to
the coast with it's health giving breezes,
appetizing menus of fish and crabs, and a
couple of days of dips in the surf, glor-
ious sailing and the finest fishing on
earth have only to buy a ticket on next
Saturday afternoon. This ticket can be
purchased and board secured at More
head for a mere song, while a dance to
the best of orchestras on the finest OF
floors and with the beauties of Raleigh,
Newbern and Goldsboro will crown
these two days of pleasure And we are
told that large parties from the four
named cities are going to avail themselves
of the various pleasures offered, AMI that
this opening ball at Morehead, under the
Scovlles' auspices will become one of the
State events for the year.

Durham. NJ c., June S.-The first
twentieth century has been a notably
successful and interesting occasion,
bringing to Durham a large number of
leading men from all sections of the
State, as we'll as choice company of
lovely young women whose presence
has made the social gayeties of the
week full of pleasure.
The intellectual treats have been of
the highest order. The sermon by Bish-
op Galloway and the address of Mr..
Mabie taking rank with the greatest
like efforts ever heard in North Car
DINA. Bishop Galloways forbears are
Tar Heels, and if l mistake not he was
born in Brunswick county, in this State.
He is a favorite in this State and is
always welcomed back by his grand
mother who is proud of its eminent
grandson. There may be more eloquent
preachers and bigger men in the South
ern pulpit than Bishop Galloway. If
so, / have not heard the man who in
ability and in true eloquence is his
equal. He was at his best here and
his sermon made profound impression
upon all who heard him. The people
never tire of hearing preaching if it is
good preaching.
The Grafton by Mr.. Hamilton w. Ma
bic, of New York, was a great treat
to those who love to hear full man
talk his impressions about subject
when you know he has not old you all
he knows but only little of it. Prof.
Minis analysis of Mr.. Mabie is cor
rect one, and not overdrawn. Those
who went to hear an orator who would
move them by his eloquence were dis
appointed as were those who expected
some sensational utterance. Mr.. Mabie
spoke like a ripe scholar. He has no
oratory if oratory is action, action,
action but if it is the power to in
terest, to instruct, to please, to make
you feel like you are hearing a master
talk-if that is oratory, Mr.. Mabie is
an orator. The day of the "ranter,'
the man who thinks oratory consists in
elocution--that day is over. The day will
never be over when the true orator will
not thrill and stir and move. Bishop
Galloway can do that and Mr.. Mabie
cannot. The one is an orator, the other
is lecturer. Both are strong, but the
one who moves you to noble deeds is

engaged in the task of learning how to
compute values of monuments and tomb
stones. The work is more intricate than
most people would imagine, and it is TAX
ing the brothers some time to familiarize
themselves with it. In addition to this
they are learning as much as they can
about the different stones used in the
business, and this part OF their future
business they are said to be picking up
readily
1t is the hope of their employers to be
able to send the brothers out some time
next week.
