Editor Allow me. through your valuable paper, to tender to the patron sand menus ot my school, thanks for their gen erous support and hearty cooperation. during the scholastic year, soon to close. Whatever degreo of success with which school may be cro-yued, will always in a great measure, depend upon the united ef forts of teacher, parents and children. Having had. during the year, the bent interest of my pupils ever in mind, their moral and intellectual development, I have tried faithfully to perform tho work expeo ted ot me, as their teacher ; aud I am happy to think with a measure of success Wim reference to the pupils. 43 in number. enrolled during the scuo-'astio year, I must say to their credit, that order and harmony have prevailed through tho entire school this again affords me pleasure as we now stand on the eve of its close. ..Coming among you, a stranger, your kindoess towards m has hardly allowed me an opportunity to fcbl as a stranger.

V The best" interest of my pupils shall be my chief concerc. .but in order that we may obtain the best results, I must, have, as. in the past the cooperation of every parent who may send their children to me. loa will allow me to. say just here, that the most progressive thinkers of this age hold, that the best legacy possible for a parent to leave his chud, is correct intellectual and moral training. ' If you, as parents, can do no more for your children, let me beg you, in behalf ot the children, that you do this. As in tbe past, we will teach all the branches of an English education, and io addition thereto, Latin, French, German, Survey, ing and J eiegraphy.

' Next in order was the election cf a new Supt, of Instruction. Tho names o llev. Luther Eborne, the present incumbent, and A. O. Gaylord were placed before the meeting and voted upon, which resulted In the election of Mr. Eborne by one vole, he having received 12 aud Mr. Gaylord U.

The parish was weak and impoverished, and of necessity there fore had to work slowly; yet by all helping some, and with the . assistance of friends elsewhere, much of the damage it bad sus- tained was repaired and the church again opened for Divine worship. Tbe Rev. T B. Haii g h ton was given charge of the parish and held monthly, services until. May 1875, when he was transferred to another field , and the day following the vestry called the Rav. H.G. Hilton. Mr. Hilton served the parish until 1831 when he resigned to take charge of the church at Scotland Neck. His labors here were marked with happiest success aud the regret at parting with a minister so devoted to his Master's w ork and " so a faithful and affectionate in the ministration of his sacred office,' was deep and: universal. He live d among ns and left us, beloved by all who knew him. , - - - A short time prior to Mr. Hilton' leaving the church had bequeathed to u by the will of the late Mrs. M. F. Sprui'l a pious and devoted member, a : comfortable rectory already furnished, and some town property of no inconsiderable value. On the 1st. of February 1888 the rectory was destroyed by fire with some of the. property it con tained, entailing a loss of $1500. on the parish, upon which there was no insurance. , During the interval ,. between Rev. , Mr. Hilton's resignation and the call of his sue cessor, Rev. R. B. Drane,' Col. Robert S. uoeiet, bemor Warden or the vestry, now passd into rest, was lay reader for the congregation and faithfully served in this capacity for some time. . ' Mr. Drane served most acceptably- until May 1885 when he resigned and Rev. E li. Sweetlaod, of Wisconsin, . accepted the call of the vestry and took charge of the parish. Mr. Sweetland's resignation was tendered and accepted in October following and on .November 1st, of same year.' Rev. Mr. Hilton was recalled whei he returned and ministered until his 3eath, Nov., 21st. 1387, after a long and painful illness. His labors were marked with success, and he was laid away in the Church yard here beloved and revered by his people for his loving and devoted services, his untarnished christian life, so full of all gentleness, good ness and purity endearing him to the hearts of ail who knew him. . Following the death of Mr. Hilton, the Rev. Luther Eborn," rector of St. David's church, this county,' wad invited to . take charge of Grace church and accepting the call began his ministrations March tth 1888, giving monthly services, according to arrangement. . His incumbency contin ues to this date, aud is marked with earnest, zealous work in tho Master's cause to bear witness of his loving care for tho people among whom he serves.. Thus, through much of misfortune and severest' trial, unequalled .perhaps by the history of any other parish in North Caro lina,, Grace church lives, to-day' great in its solemn memories of the vauisned years and hopeful under , God's ordering of an increased and increasing usefnlness for Christ and His kingdom iu the -years coming ou. . 1 County Allianeo Proceeding!.
