Howard Wilkins, son of Herbert Wilkins of Dunn, has been appointed principal of the colored graded schools at Snow Hill, Greene County, and will leave within the next few days to assume the duties of his position.
Howard is a graduate of Shaw University, he completed his studies in the Raleigh college last spring. Since that time he has been employed by the Pullman Company, having served with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company. He resigned that position a few days ago when favorable action was taken upon his application at Snow Hill. His appointment will afford much pleasure to his numerous white friends who look upon him as one of the most deserving of Dunn’s colored boys.
