Alongl i The I 0 Way i _ / " By Emily \ Killette Strickland* was first chartered as a * town in the 1700s and is now known s as Magnolia. Tracing Magnolia's history back to the time when it was known as Stricklands makes it the oldest town in Duplin County. Along the Way continues a series on the history of Magnolia. This week concludes the article from the February 24, 1955 issue of THE DUPLIN TIMES about Magnolia's history. The article was written by Tracy Brown and was entitled "The Town of Magnolia." Please remember as you read, the following was written almost 30 years ago and the town, people and places may not be as they are today. The Town of Magnolia Magnolia's schools have been up-to-date. One of the first graded schools and colleges of this section was here. This school operated from 1877 until 1895. The Rev. John Nick Stallings, pastor of thf Baptist Church, was the first teacher. Rev. Stallings taught here for a number of years. This school was built in the center of a large oak grove across the street from the old site of the Methodist Church. Later the proper ty was purchased by the late John F. H Croom. The building was moved and converted into a residence and has V been occupied by the Croom family since that time. The Beaver Dam School was one of the early schools of the town, operating during the early 1800s. I Later the Gum School, a two-room house, was built in town on the jress bentinei, sepiemocr z/, i7OT 'arlton Chapel road. This served as public, also private school, at times intil 1907. A four-room graded chool was built where Mr. and Mrs. lam Bradshaw now reside. In about 914 a part of the present school luilding was erected. That soon iroved too small and an addition was oon built. A few years later a new uditorium was added. Magnolia iow has a school that is second to lone of its size. Although Magnolia has not grown is some neighboring towns have, it tands on a firm financial founda lion. Her water and sewage system extend over almost the entire town. It has kept pace in religion, edu cation and all civic and public interests. It being a small community everyone knows and loves each other ' ? is always ready to lend a helping hand to the less fortunate. Truly the Spirit of the Master abounds in the lives and hearts of the good people of Magnolia. It would take 27,000 spiders, each spinning a single web, to produce a pound of web.
