THE BULLAJAMILY
A CONTINUANCE OF THE
SKETCH OP THIS HISTORIC
FAMILY RECENTLY PUBLISH
ED IN THE COURIER SOME
FACTS ABOUT THE CRAVEN
FAMILY ALSO GIVEN
John Bulla, the younger brother of
Daniel Bulla, of whom I wrote a few
weeks ago, married a Miss Hussey, I
think. From that union were bont
five children: three girls and two boy.,,
one daughter was married to Bran
son Lamb, I do not remember thrh
children, if any. Another daughter
was married to Dr. W. H. H. Connor.
They had several children, but I losi
sight of them during the war, but
have heard that they are doing fair'y
well. Eliza, the other daughter, was
married to Dr. John Moss, who ii '
on Back Creek. There were three
(laughters born to that union.
Miss Eugenia, the oldest daughter
was married to John McCain, son of
the late Hugh McCain, who at o
time was clerk of the court of Ran
dolph county. They had but one chil'
James H. McCain who now lives in
Asheboro. Mrs. McCain was postmis
tress at Asheboro 42 years. She
held the office longer than any one
else in Randolph 'county.
Miss Fannie, 'the second daughter
was married to B. B. Bums, wro now
lives in Asheboro. Mr. and Mrs.
Burns had quite ttn interesting famr
of children. The oldest son, A.
Buns, is a conductor on the Soutfc
em Railroad running "between Asht-
boro and High Point, and 'has heVd
the place for twenty-five yvars. He
was a candidate for sheriff of Ran
dolph county, but was defeated in'fihe
primary, by a fraction of a vote. H
was also defeated in the primary fo
Clerk vf the court in 1914 by a frui
tion so small that came very 'near
leaning both ways. SomeMf the t.Uii
boys live in High Point, and a daugh
ter, in Hickory, 1 have lost sifttit of
the other children.
Delphina, the youngest daugtvier o"
Dr. Moss was married tn R. W. Fra-
zl-r, who was Register of Diwls
Randolph county for two or the
terms, and who is ww managing
the Guilford Lumber Compaeiy
Troy.
James R. Bulla, the oldest son of
John Bulla, a sketch of whose lif
from boyhood to old agw was publish
ed in The Courier two -weeks ago, was
what we call n self-made nun. H
never waited for some one lse to
vote special tn to get graue'4 school;
tr educate him. and with a "far-seeing
lew-aw--thtit an education was not
worth 'but little to a man who attend
eVI chanl on Ihe sweat of -anothers
brow. He wanted an honest educa
tion. 1 have heard him lecture of
morning in school to us boy, and he
told us not to depend on sme one
eh,e, but study by th light tif pine
knots, grub, split ran11, do any kind
of work rather than wait for chances.
For a boy who lolls around and waits
for chances hafi just ah well sit down
in the pasture with a bucket between
hm knees ar.d wait for old "white
face" to back np to b milked as to
wait for an industrious teacher to
cram knowledge in his cranium;
work, was his advice.
Mr. Bulla would relate humorous
incidents, among others was thw say
ing: "it is owing which way the dr.
fan;" He saifl that raying orip-i
nated on Back Creek by Dr. SJarna
Nixon. He said that Dr. Nixon early
one morning visited a patient, and
during the time he was examining the
patient, the good wife was kneading
dough preparing his breakfast; h
went to the cookrooni to give her 'in
structions about the medicine, she in
sisted "that he remain for breakfast
she hail a bad cold and also had a
quid of tobacco in her mouth, and nm
bear flowing from thp corners of hov
mouth which was subject to drop "in
her tray of dough; seeing that he re
plied to her in this way: "It in owinjr
to which way the drop falls well trr
doctor went home for his mornTnu
meal.
Women chewed tobawo in those
days, but ladies do not in thiri orv
lightened age.
Mr. Bulla married a Miss Lumm.
well educated, and a beautiful, fair
complected lady. I think she hailed
from New Jersey, at least she was a
Northern lady, and a sister to Mrs.
Austia Lawrence, and also to Jamw
Lumu, who oncod lived in Asheboro.
Mr. and Mrs. Bulla were the happ
parents of four children: three daugh
ter and one sop.
Tfce oldest daughter, Miss Ellen,!
and the youngest. Miss Bettie. died in
arly life. Miss Nannie was married
o Dr. James Craven, a son of the
late Dr. Braxton CraVen, to that un
ion were born five sons, one is a min
ister of the gospel and the others are
teacaers, or lawyers. The son named
Geo. was a stout looking boy when
the family left Asheboro, but I flu
ot remember seeing him since. i
kave heard that he wa8 a noble loou
ing young man. I do have a faint
recollection of hearing of his wit and
sharp, sayings, after the style of tn
Bullae. He was at one time a mem
ber of the senate from Davidson. At
that session there was a school bill
introduced. George, in a speech on
vie mu, among other language said:
"that tfce bill was too hard to under
ataui; that he represented the most
ignorant county in North Carolina,
and his people would like to have more
explicit information. At that time a
descendant of Ham who represented
Edgecombe county, came to hin
feet, and said Mr. President: "I rise

Of course, he was allowed to defend

COUNTY COMMENCEMENT
BOARD OF EDUCATION DECIDES
TO HOLD A COUNTY COM
MENCEME NT IN EARLY
SPRING TEACHERS RKQ I ' EST
ED TO HOLD SEVENTH GRADJ".
EXAMINATIONS
It was decided at the last meet'iv.
of the Board of Education to hold :
County Commencement some timo v
the spring The exact date will be de
cided upon later Detailed plans air
being worked out, and the teachers
pupils and patrons will be notified of
them either through the county news
papers or circular letter.
Let every teacher begin now to pre
pare for this great event. Each
teacher is to give tn examination to
the seventh grade pupils some time in
March. This examination will be pre
pared "by a committee composed o
high school principals and the County
Superintendent and will cover the
regular outline course of study iri the
seventh grade. Then the teacher win
grade the papers and return them to
the County Superintendent. A com
mittee will then look over the BaDers
and reject any that do not come up
to a certain standard. Teachers
should beirin now to stress such sub
jects as arithmetic, English grammar,
geography and spelling.
Each seventh grade pupil who pass
es a sr.tisTactory examination shall
Tcceive a diploma on county com
mencement day except those who art
in the high schools. They will re
ceive diplomas at their regular com
mencements.
A certificate will be given to all
pupils up to the seventh grade w
have -neither "been absent nor tardy
during the term.
We "would like to gee every school
in the county have on exhibition
specimen of map drawing, writing
and spelling in the different grades.
Also some specimens of sowing and
needlework. The school having the
best display of this kind will b: giv
en pri.e.
Several prizes will be awarded to
the school 'leading in the various
events of 'the day. These will lae an
nounced later.
In order to make the County Com
mencement a success there must be
co-operation on the part of pupils
teachers and patrons. It is going to
mean some work on the part of the
teacher, but whatever is done will be
worth while. Let's see to it that every
school in the county is represented m
this great commencement.
