j UHRMU
| AN AUSPICIOUS OPENING LAST
| MONDAY MORNING
| Of the Kingstree Academy.?The County
Public School to Commence
Next Week.
The regular fall session Kingstree
academy began last Monday
with Mr. Ohas. W Sioll as principal
and Miss Nellie Bristow as
assistant. A good attendance
was enrolled the first day and the
number has been increased daily
since. There is every prospect
of a flourishing year, ami the new
teachers have already won the
hearts of their pupils.
Mr. St oil is a young man, a
graduate of Woffoni college, and
has had several years1 experience
in teaching. He comes to Kingstree
very highly recommended,
and there is no doubt that ?iit
academy will maintain its already
- ? > n
liign sianaara 01 excellence uuuci
his supervision. Miss Bristow is
a daughter of Mr. C D Bristow, of
Florence, and is a first-honor grad
ualeof the Winthrop Normal and
Industrial college. President
Johnson unhesitating'}'named her
when lie was asked to recommend
a teacher lor this place. During
i her few days' stay inkingstree she
has created quite a favorable impression
upon l>olh the patrons
and the pupils of the school. #
The county pubiic school will
not he run in connection with the
academy this year, as formerly,
but will be taught by Miss Sallie
J Wilson.
Miss Wilson needs no introduction
to the people of Kingstree, as
she has taught here befoie. She
is a graduate of the Greenville
Female college, and is considered
one of trie very best young ladv
teachers in the State. Her school
will begin next Monday, Oct. 11th,
and will be liberally patronized.
The trustees of the public fund
I thought this pl&n advisable, and
so we will have two first class
schools in Kingstree this year?
one supported by the county
fun Is and the other by the town
money?and both under excel
lent management.
