Rev. N.F. Brooks, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, leaves this week to attend the Ministers’ Conference, which will convene at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. This conference is interdenominational and is attended by ministers from all over the country.
The members of Mt. Zion Baptist church have presented their pastor a very comfortable suit of clothes and a pair of shoes. This was quite a pleasant surprise to pastor Brooks who has served the church for 13 years at the end of which he finds himself still in the hearts of his people. Pastor Brooks also serves another very large country church at Scotland Neck. This church has given Rev. Brooks the neat little sum of $25 to help make his vacation pleasant. The public school of Beaufort came to a very successful close Monday night, June 8th, at the Methodist church.
The closing exercises began at Mt. Zion Baptist church Sunday, May 31, where the annual sermon was preached to the school and friends by Rev. C.C. Clark, principal of the public school at Scotland Neck. Prof. Clark preached a very able sermon, which was highly enjoyed by those who heard him.
The exercises by classes began Wednesday night. The feature of this was a play: “In Mother Goose Land,” by children taught by Mrs. Clark, and another very beautiful operetta, “Flowerdom,” given by the children taught by Mrs. Halsey. Thursday night the exercises were rendered by children taught by Miss Groves and Mrs. Askew. This was also very good.
Friday night a play was given by the high school. There was also an oratorial contest in which Eva Stanley won first prize and Edieth Wesley the second prize. The graduating exercises were held at the Methodist church on Monday night. There were four graduates this year:
Joseph Pastuar
Ben Hazel
Pernella Moore
Evanna Chadwick
Mrs. A.W. Holland of the State Department of Education delivered a very helpful address, and the Hon. M.L. Davis, in well-chosen words, presented the diplomas. Those present expressed themselves as being well pleased.
