The Female College Under New Management Rev. J. A. Green, President. THE FIRST HOME OF METHODISM. The First Conference of the Methodist ftiarch Ewer Held on American Sot! Was in this Historic Old Town. The town of Louisburg, North Carolina, situated as it is on the banks of the historic Taw River, is one of the prettiest and health iest in the Statemade beautiful by its g-ently sloping" hills, its cool green valleys and its mammoth and numerous shade trees of oak made healthy by its natural drainage and sewerage systems, through whose channels everything of an effete or unwholsome charac ter is almost immediately carried down to the ever rapidly flowing river and thence swept on to the sea. There is no mushroom growth about this old town as with many that are suddenly built up by the waving of flags, a great stretch of flaming advertisements and the rush of long excursion trains ac companied by the blasts of many horns and the loud huzzas of a mot- ly crowd. Its development and growth has been slow, steady and certain for over a hundred years. Yet in recent times it has quick ened its material pace in order to keep step with the drum-beat of the great army of progress. For a long time Louisburg appeared to be a self-satisfied town, her people surrounded by luxuries, endowed with wealth ana blessed, with atw intelligence inherited from a long line of pure and noble ancestry, looked upon themselves and their surroundings with pleasure, pride and satisfaction a contented? peo ple. Generous and kind, they en vied none, they hated none, they were jealous of none, but loved and admired one another because they were all of the same type of manhood and womanhood, and bound together by ties of kindred and a brotherhood of interests. Courtesy, magnanimity, courage and hospitality were some of their characteristic viriues. They loved social pleasnres, the exercise of manly courtesies and the exhibi tion of manly and heroic energies. Their deep interest in educational matters fpr a time seemed rather I to divert attention from their ma terial growth, and they made only that material progress, which nat urally flows from intellectual prow ess. The people of this old town have ever been noted for their in telligence and a deep interest in all matters pertaining to educa tion. The boys and girls, (some of them now old men and women) while they and their parents were an indulgent and self-satisfied people, yet were endowed with that cast of mental strength and polish that enabled them to see and de sire higher and better things. .When they heard afaroff the bu gle notes of the advancing army of material progress like the war horse that sniffs the battle &c, thev were ready and quick to foin . a . A- ., : t their ease and self-satisfied state were eager to fall in rank, and march w ith the greaV arm y o f ma terial progress to that goal of suc cessful development which the town has gained to-day, and now proudly holds as the most pro gressive and prosperous town in the State. Louisburg is known to-day as a live, wide-awake town not on a boom after the modern acceptation of that term, hut on the .- road - of steady material developments E4" -nt;v-.n1lTT- araa tin tr ftllA it t t.hp f isw WQ t-; n same old;towm enjoying the glori- das reputation and the proud dis tinction (as she al way has) of be . c ".''. ' ing one )f the foremost in the States The great men and women vrho hare gone out from her two Insti tutions of learning, attest by their intellectual achievements to the thoroughness and ability of the same and reflect credit and honor both on the schools and the town that reared them. As enthusiasts npon the subject of education, the people take great pride in boast ing of one of the finest buildings of learning in the "Louisburg Fe male College" to be found in the State. This building stands in the center of a beautiful oak grove of thirteen acres, in the most ele vated part-of the town, a solid brick structure, four stories high and containing about fifty well arranged and ventilated rooms, built upon a solid rock foundation with perfect drainage on all sides. Opposite the College campus, and just across the streets the Louis burg Male Academy, in the cen ter of anSther oak grove'' of the same number of acres, both Insti tutions being supplied with the best and purest well water to be found anywhere. The education al pride andinterest of the people of Louisburg now centers in these two Institutions of learning, but especially is this the case with ref erence to the ''Louisburg Female College," which is now owned by the Methodists of Louisburg and Franklin county, and is therefore a denominational school, as it is in the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, and as such will depend largely for its support and patron age upon the young ladies and girls from a distance, yet, at the same time it solicits patronage from the town and county, and the management assures parents of other denominations that if they see fit or desire to send their children to this College, nothing will be said, done or taught to tend in any way to change any preconceived or established church doctrine, but all will be treated with the same tender care and at tention. While this is a Metho- dist school the management feels'1 remember him as a profound sure that the laudable pride and interest which the Methodists take in it will he commended by all other Christian churches and peo ple, and especially by those in and around Louisburg. Not only be cause all church people should work for the advancement of their special church interests in an hon orable and christian manner and spirit, but also for, or on account of the advantages accruing to the town and community, intellectual ly, socially and materially by the presence in their midst of a suc cessfully managed Institution of this kind. The health at this Col lege for the last five or six years has been phenomeual, iu that there has not been a single case of sick ness serious enough In its nature to call in the services of a physi cian. In fact the town of Louis burgitself is one of the healthiest in the State. 'In. this we speak ad visedly, for, the writer of .this little sketch, who .was once almost mor bid about the.bealth of his imme diate family, when trying to se lect ajplace in which to settle and rear his children, 'Was much con cerned about finding a town that had immunity from some of those terrible diseases that play such sad havoc with the young whenev er their dreaded touch is laid upon them. After casting about by travel and letters of enquiry; with the above object in view, decided to settle in Louisburg as the health iest town in' the State, all things considered. There has never been a genuine" case of Diptheria or Scarlett Fever ih the toWnof Louis burg in twenty years to the wri ters knowledge. Chill and fever of a-malaral nature or type 'are things of the past. Altogether we think Louisburg one of the healthiest towns' in the State in which children, and youug people have the gratest immunity from unhealthy influences and; decided-' ,ly one of the best places for men tal, moral, physical and christian 1 J . education and develoMnent. Es pecially will this be the case with LOPISBUItG, N.-C, FRIDAY, iJULY 27, girls and y onng ladies who attend the Lonisburg Female College nn der the'presidency and manage ment of Rev. J. A. Green Wid lfis .' excelleut wife as Matron and lady manager, supported as these will be by a carefully selected and competent corps of experienced teachers. The President, Rev. J. A. Green, whiltj one of the best- preachers in the Conference is at the same time' a man of excellent business capac ity, thorough-going and fall of energy.and with the aid and sup port of an able and well trained body of teacherB, we predict and shall expect greater and grander success for this old Institution of learning- than she has ever at tained in the past. Below we giro the different schools in this Institution with their respective teachers : Languages, Logic and Litera ture will be taught by Miss M. M. Davis. AH parents who have had'their children under the tu tilage of Miss Davis, will testify to her thoroughness and success as a teacher. She possesses the peculiar faculty of interesting 1 the minds of her pupils, thereby 1 descendant of John Kintf, and making the work sbe requires of j collateral descendant of Greeu them a pleasure, their hearts she, HiU, It was about oue hundred wius by her bright and affable anj nine years ao that in Louis manner, while her kind but firm j burg- tu,, p ri nci plf-s and doctrines discipline compels their respect, i of 1ue Methodist Church were first With these characteristics 'tis not transplanted from English to surprising that she should be, American soil. The plants were with parents and pupils, one of 1 few in nnrober?, but strong and the most popular and successful ! hardy with Zealand faith. The teachers that we have ever had, in Louisburg Mathematics and Natural Science will be taught by Miss Susie A. Mosely. Miss Mosely is a young lady of five mental abilities, and those who know her best, say unhesitatingly that sfie is fully competent to discharge any and all the duties of her posi tion. The Music Department will be in charge of Miss Alderman who is a daughter of Prof. Win. F. Alderman of Greensboro, N . C or several years ne was a resi- . urn l 111 u ir l w . ma v in scholar, a kind friend, and refined, christian g-entleman. Miss Alderman has had noS only an 1UC oma.uagm uicciisuui i' hemale Lollege, but lor several years she has attended the Boston Conservatory of Music, and comes to her work here with the highest recomommendation of competent judges. The Art Department will be under the management of Miss Hamilton who is a specialist. The Preparatory Department will be managed and instructed by Miss Baker. The proficiency of Miss Hamilton in Art and Miss Baker for her especial work, are assured facts. For particulars in regard to these teachers and their respect ive branches, we refer you to the Louisburg Female College Cata logue, which will be sent to any one on application to the Pres. Rev. J. A. Green, Lonisburg, N. C. (MORE AEOUT THE l.OUhSECRO SCHOOL WILL BE FOL'ND ON 2d PAGE.) It is generally known that Louisburg, N. C, enjoys the proud distinction pf being the place where the first' annual Con ference of the Methodist Church was held on North American soil. On the 20th of April 1785, in the house of Green Hill at Louisburg, Bishops Coke and Asbury with twenty members representing Virginia, North and South Caro lina. Methodism, constituted the first annual Conference. The Conference was in session three days, and was entertained entirely, man end beast (for they traveled on. horseback in those days) by this big hearted old local preacher Green Hill. Two other Conferences were held in that upper room 16 x 20 feet, nd a fourth at another honse owned, try this intelligent and hospitable old gentleman about fonr miles North of Louis, Ibnrg. A very prominent Methodist 1804. who -figured in that memorable Conference was Dr. John King, who waa educated at Oxford Eng land, and at the London Medical College, and who was disinher ited da account of his Method Let principles. He sought' a more congenial and hospitaLle clime, and came to, America where h preached his first sermon in the Potters Field of Philadelphia, Soon after this, and when at the age of twenty, he preached the first Methodist sermon overheard in Baltimore, while standing on a blacksmiths block on the cor ner of a street. He labored for awhile in some of the Northern S,tates, then came to North Caro lina, and settVed down near h s friend Greon Hill who entertained the first Conference in 1785. This old Green Hill house and place has been in the King and Hill families, almost continuously from the time of that Conference until the present, and is still in a good state of preservation. The old place at present is owned by Mr. M. S. Davis, an intelligent ajtd cultured Methodist gentle- man. and whose wife is' a linea.1 soji was-doubtful, but planted in the spirit of the Master, watered by the tears of humility, and cul tivated by the prayers of that earnest arid devoted little band that, met in that upper room, the spring time of Methodism witnessed a growth of Methodist principle and truth, with a corres- ponding numerical force that as tonished the world. Like a spark of fire dropped in the midst of a prairie, the fire of the spirit of Methodism ienited the very at- mosphere around Green Hill's j ' home 1 ' and spread with uch ' v. n ,j . n u 41 uiiLuuicsj aim nuiuitu, iiiiit u i wna KC.n PPn nri fPD thromrl, - a ,ol,t the conhnes of North Carolina, and which to-day is making con- verts and friends in the uttermost part? oi tnegiobe. ltwouid De , llseles? here to write more about 1 the extensive growth, influence and numbers of the Metbodi?t? in the world to-day, for they are well known and felt. We simply chronicle the above historical facts because it is not generally known I having jroorf instruments and plen thatthis old town of Louisburg, I .v.r,f timP.',r pmeti. for aftr all. was the real starting point, or the original home in North America of this great body of influential Christians. While it was not here that it had its birth, it was here iu Louisburg that it was christened, and received its first in vigorating nourishment, and started on that journey of life, which has widened and lengthened by the processes of its itinerant j system, until its good influence j tiovers the earth, as the waters ! x;over the sea. "We hold that the above facts would act as an in ducement to Methodist parents all over Eastern Carolina who wish to have their girls educated at a Methodist School, to send them to the Louisburg Female College. The influences that must grow out of the above facts, will certainly make their impre on the lives and character of those Methodist girls who attend school at this College. The Methodists of Louisburg take great interest and pride in this historical fact and feel proud of her noble In stitution of learning The Louis burg Female College, as a Meth odist School in the very borne of Methodism. We hold tbia Col lege up to the view and consider ation of the people of this part of North Carolina'as one well wor thy of tbeir patronage . and sup port, not ouly because it is on .equal footing with the best female colleges in the State, but because it ia located i a a beauti ful and healthy town, and that town was the first real home of Methodism in North America.
