Yesterday, one week ago, the little town of Whiteville, which lies west of this place, was the scene of a pleasant gathering of the goodly people who inhabit that portion of our county. The occasion was the closing exercises of the male and female school located there on which Mr. W. E. PRICE and Mr. G. W. Hardin have presided so satisfactorily. When we arrived, we found the building densely filled with ladies and gentlemen, many of them are citizens of our town. The scholars acquitted themselves handsomely. The music was excellent. Miss Lucy WILKERSON and the Harmonic Society of Bolivar were there.
