Report has reached here of the
death of Miss Maud Hill, at the home
Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. r.
Hill, in Hendersonville, N. c. Tt
seems that her death occurred some
four weeks ago, and although it was
known to some friends of the family.
it will be news, and sad news to the
people of Crescent City generally.
for it was here that she grew from
childhood to adult age, universally
loved by her ass )ciates. She had
been ill for more than yearand her
death was not unexpected. The
sympathy of all their old Crescent
City friends goes out to the bercaved
family.
The public school opened on Mon
day morning with large enrolment
in both departments. PRINCIPAL
simmons and his assistant, Miss
Maggie Bard, were on hand and have
made a most favorable impression
with the patrons and pupils generally.
At the opening of the morning SEES
sion the principal called upon Rev.
ii. 5, Miller who opened the eXer-
clses with an appropriate prayer.
Mr.. Simmons then addressed the |
pupils and those patrons who were
present, outlining his policy. While |.
his talk was pleasing, it also showed |
the determination of the principal to |
the school firmly and in his
own manner. Those who heard him |
feel sure that in Mr.. Simmons Ores
sent City will have Il teacher under |
whom deserving and studious pupils
will make progress and under whom |
he unruly ard undeserving will |
nave an uncomfortable warm time.
Mr.. Simmons talks like u man who
his business; who will |
De the master in very truth, and the
News feels like congratulating the
people on his success even before he
las made much of II start, for he
will certainly win it in the end.
Let patrons give MIR. Simmons their
hearty support, make the children
that his word must be
he law and that they must act ac-
,ordingly, and there will be such
progress in the school rs has been
arely seen unde: the old roof. The
News predicts that the children are
;oing to like both teachers and that
VIII be their pleasure to show that
liking by close attention to school
luties.
