won for him many compliments

On last Friday the Dunn
High School finished its work
for this session, which,, under
the management of Profs. Li C.
Brogden and C. M. Grantham,
was one of its most, jrosperous.
sessions. The management
though that the time taken to
prepare for a commencement
would be worth more to the
pupils in study, and as. a conse
quence the school gave no reci
tations br declamations, and had
only an address and some music.
At 8 :30 o'clock in the evening
all the patrons of the school and
and citizens of the town as
sembled at the Academy to hear
the address of Hon. D. H. Mc
Lean, our townsman. His-sub-
ject was: "North Carolina,
her past present and future."
He was introduced in a few
well chosen words by Prof.
Brogden, Hjs a4dress was
review of the past history of the
totate and the importance of in
structing the youth in the his
tory of our grand common
wealth and the conditions ; of
the present, and lastly the pos
sibility of the future if our
young people are properly train
ed and instructed. His address
was splendidly delivered and
highly entertaining and in
structive. After his address
Prof. Brogden made a 1 short
talk on the necessities of a good
school for Dunn. His talk has
been highly complimented by
our citizens.
One of the most pleasant
features of the occasion was the
music furnished by the students
of Miss Fannie Cox, who lias
been teaching music .at the
school this session. The vocal
duet by Misses Mary Pearson
and Myrtle Wade arid the song
by Miss Stella Taylor were
splendidly rendered and elicited
much applause, and the exer
cises on the piano by Misses
Annie Harper, Lizzie Godwin
and Ora Wilson were admir
ably performed Avhich proved
that their instruction was splen
did and thorough. !
All our people are well pleas
ed with the progress . of the
school this i session and want
Profs. Brogden and Grantham
to remain and teach for them
again. They are both young
gentlemen of the highest moral
character and have endeared,
by their scholarly and christian
examples, both pupils and pa
trons to them. We hope they
will remain and teach for us
next session and this is; the
sentiment of the whole cornj
m unity.

Your vote for the "License"
