manifested. Rev. Edward Bull con
ducted the one last night. His subject
was "Refiscting Too Late." He made
an earnest talk and was followed by
others. The meeting drifted into a

Vance Academy.
On account of the superior advan
tages that New Berne afforded as being
the principal gathering point for farm
ers of neighboring oounties, being easy
of access by water, rail and publio
roads, and having buildings better
adapted to its requirements and for
other reasons, the excellent and noted
boarding school known as Vance
Academy was moved from Pollokfville
to this city, opening here for the first
time on the second of September of last
year with only eighteen pupils, but the
sterling reputation that it had worthily
earned at its former location was a
sufficient guarantee that its attendance
would not long remain email, and there
was a steady increase until the regular
roll of day and boarding pupils ex
ceeded a hundred, besides the musio
class which numbered about forty
more, and this year more pupils have
entered than did eo last year a very
gratifying evidence cf appreciation by
i.s patrons of tho erlioient work that i
being accomplished.
Prof. W. R. Skinner, the Principal,
a teRchor of thirteen years' ex
perience, lie id a gentleman of stirring
habits aud remarkablo enorey and he
as rt laudable ambition to have his
school eocond to none, and he carefully
elects his assistants and keeps well
equipped with tho appliances to aid in
niparting information. Tho pupils
have ncc.oes to a $2,000 library and there
are globts in all of the study rooms,
which aro also fully equipped with maps
of recent make from that of tho city of
Now IVrne up to every part of tho
world, and with accurate and complete
sets of costly, roliable and well made
saientillc charts-goological, geographi-
il (both political and physical), astro
nomical, physiological, etc. The two
anatomical charts tho finest one of
which bo purchased for this eeason
compare tho human and animal struc
tures, and show fully tho respiratory,
nutritive, osseous, muscular, nervous
and circulatory systems.
Prominenco is given to studies that
qualify the pupils for practioal business
life. There are two classes in "Allen's
Double-Entry Book-keeping," Com
mercial law and stenography or short
hand writing also receive due attontion.
Professor Skinner himself gives instruc
tion in the first-mentioned studies and
Miss Uaud Moore, of Mew Heme, a
killed and rapid stenographer, has
charge of tho latter class, and also, in
connection with Professor Skinner, of
tho music department. The whole
school receives daily instruction in
vocal music, but there are, of course,
special classes for instrumental musio,
and tho pupils in each division manifest
plainly by their marked proficiency the
excellence of the instruction giveu.
Tho pneient and modern languages
and higher English branches are taught
by Professor and Mrs. Skinner and
Prof. W. J. B. Dail, of Snow Hill, a
graduate of tho University of North
Carolina, who has had several years'
experience in school work, and shows
by his calm, self-possossei manner and
apt, lucid and masterly explanations,
that he is the right man in the right
place.
Miss Zenobia T. Widgeon, of Norfolk,
presides over the primary department,
and well does she Mil the position. We
had the pleasure of hearing a reading
class if over twenty small pupils reoite
and in addition to the regular routine
of such lessons, instruction was given
in regard to placing the emphasis
where needed, and also of giving the
proper inflection to the seatences, and
members of the class read with prompt
ness original sentences written on the
blackboard, and showed a knowledge
of the names and uses of punctuation
marks, and of marks to indioate the
sound of vowels is given words, wheth
er long or short, eto. There are impor
tant points in education but most
schools pay but little or no attention to
them until the pupils are well advanoed,
How many persons of the present gene
ration had a knowledge of such matters
at eight or ten years of age ?
A North Carolina artist, Mr. J. W.
Brock, of Jones oounty, who in early
life exhibited an extraordinary natural
talent for every kind of drawing, and
who has taken a thorough course of
training at Cooper Union, N. Y., is in
charge of the art department. Space
forbids our ' giving ihe attention to this
department that it deserves, but we will
say that specimens of work, objeot
drawing, copies of portraits, eto., done
by some of the pupils who have had
only about two months' training would
do credit to old, experienced hands
Professor Skinner is to be congratulated
on securing such accomplished and
efficient assistants.
Not every one who has a brain filled
with oollege lore possesses the ability
to present that Information In a clear
manner to others, bnt Professor Skinner
has the happy faculty of dolog 10 la a
Way I that :flxca it in the ininds of the
pupils and the result is that tbey learn
rapidly, and not only does he secure the
best teachers possible, but he gives his
personal supervision to all the depart
ments and impresses his assistants with
the methods that bis long experience
has convinced him are most effective.
He does not follow old methods blind
ly, but runs his school according to his
own ideas though they may differ materi
ally from general usage. In history he
begins firct with that of North Carolina,
after that he takes the history of the
United States, then that of English and
afterwards general history. Contrary
to what is often done he gives the home
study the preference.
He pursues a somewhat similar course
on geography. He first gives the
learner a broad and general idea of the
world, its shape, its continents, etc., by
globes and hemispheres, and when it
comes to particulars he starts with the
goography of New Berne, then in suc
cession that of Craven county, North
Carolina, the United States and so on.
Calistbenio exercises are practiced
daily and instruction in military tactics
is also given the male stndeuts. They
are drilled daily by the following offi
cers selected from amonc themselves:
Captain, G. M. Johnson, of Beaufort
county; 1st Lieutenant, C. 11. Robin
son, of Rabinsonville, Martin county;
2J lieutenant, B. II. Melton, of Pollocks
ville, Jones county.
The building in which Vance Acad
emy is located was designed for Nor
thern visitors, and could scarcely have
been better arranged to meet the re
quiremen'.s of the school if it had been
built for the purposo. It contains
thirty nice well-lighted and well-ven
tilated rooms, nicely fitted up with
convenient closets, giving ample ac
commodatiou for a large number of
scholars. The portions used by the
male and female boarding pupils are
entirely separate, as are also the yards
A large room the whole length of the
building has recently boen fitted op for
the whole school whenover it is neces
sary for all to come together, and non-
sectarian religious exercises are held in
it every morning before school, and
also at 9 o'clock every Sunday morn
ing.
Everything is now better arranged for
successful work than ever before; good
rules have been established, tho hours
are regular, the discipline is strict, and
the dining room and sleeping apart
ments are all in the same building, thus
enabling both Prof. Skinner and his
wife to keep a constant ovorsight of the
pupils; and thoso who wish to place
their children in an excellent school
where they can rest satisfied that they
are in good hands and receiving kind
and thoughtful attention, would do
well to examine the advantages that
Vance Academy offers, and in bestow
ing their patronage let meritorious
ljcal institutions, other things being
equal, have preference over thoBO at a
distance.

Beech Grove Missionary Society.
The Missionary Society of Beech
Grove Sunday School, of which Mr.
Daniel Lane is superintendent, has
been doing very praiseworthy work
during the past two years. The plan
that has been followed is to have the
children work ,as tbey think best with
small sums of money furnished by the
adult members and earn more and con
tribute the accumulations at a stated
time. Last year 35 was raised in this
way and at this year's anniversary
meeting which was held last Friday
the offerings amounted to $60.00. The
pastor, Rev. James G. Johnson, and
Sheriff W. B. Lino were present and
made appropriate and interesting ad
dressee The assessment levied on this chnrch
by Conference for mission work is
828.00, thus it will be seen that the
amount contributed last year was in
excess of, and this year nearly doubles
what was asked for by Conference and
ia a very creditable showing when it is
remembered that tho church numbers
only 40 and
the Sunday school 36
members.
''Little Lord Fauntleroy."
Considerable interest attaches to the
forthcoming production in this city of
Mrs. Burnetts famous dramatic idvl.
'Little Lord Fauntleroy," and expecta
tion iuns high anent the calibre of the
company that Mr. French will send
here to interpret the beautiful lines, the
tender pathos and the characteristic
humor of the talented authoress.
No play of modern times has made
so genuine and so lasting a success as
tais simple little child-drama, and Mre,
Burnett's name will go down to pos
terity as tho writer of the most charm
ing, simple and fascinating play ever
nown in the history of the etaee
Cedrio Errol Little Lord Fauntlerory
bounds into favor at once, and as the
play progiesses the favor beoomes
stronger, until it reaohes its maximum
at the close of the play, and every man,
woman and child in the audienco goes
away more than pleased. From the
moment when little Cedric runs in
flushed and out of breath with bis foot
race, interest is keen, and there is not a
dull moment in the performance
Mrs. Burnett's masterpiece has an ex
quisite setting in its dramatic form, and
resembles her inimitable work in that
it goes straight to the heart at every
poini 11 tne play. There can be no
difference of opinion on this point. The
simple story, acted so naturally and
touchingly, never fails to make an 1m
preseion.

There is a man in town wheso namn i

for some merchant who can't pay his

and 67io. on the dollar, that is, on a

the stock he has just received from
Kinston cost four thousand dollars in
New York THIS AUGUST, 1890, and
only cost Big Ike two thousand and
