—H. E. Norris, ’79, on receiving his license to practice law, located at Apex, his native village, where he has been following his profession and farming. In ’85, he was a member of the Legislature. He expects soon to remove to Raleigh, and devote himself wholly to the practice of law.

—G. W. Koonce, ’79, who received the first Wiley Gray Medal awarded, after graduating taught school several years at Polloksville, N. C. He enlisted in the Signal Service for five years. During this interval, he was promoted several times and graduated in law at Washington, D. C. At the expiration of this time, he was appointed clerk in the War Department, which office he now fills.

—D. B. Parker, ’77, having become sufficiently amused with teaching school in South Carolina and Georgia, has decided to settle in North Carolina, and is now principal of a flourishing school at Cypress Creek. His patrons are to be congratulated upon the selection they have made. He graduated with distinction and is a fine teacher. The Archive extends to him a warm welcome to his native State, and bespeaks for him that full measure of success which he so justly merits.

—O. J. Spears, after leaving Trinity, began the practice of law in Richmond county. Having a fondness for politics he soon entered the public arena and was elected to a seat in the Senate, the duties of which position he faithfully and creditably discharged. At the expiration of his term of office, he returned to his home in Harnett county, and is now located at Lillington, N. C., where he has a lucrative law practice.

—Wilbur E. Ormond is principal of Hookerton Collegiate Institute, Hookerton, N. C., and reports an attendance of 71 students. Besides this work, he has been recently engaged to deliver lectures on Temperance in his section. Noble work, old friend.

—Joseph Kinsey, one of the best teachers in the State, is now principal of a most excellent school for young ladies in La Grange. He has recently erected a large and commodious building for his school, and has five accomplished lady assistants. Mr. Kinsey, soon after leaving Trinity, chose the profession of teaching which he has been following for nearly twenty years. La Grange is indebted to him for the first impulse given to education.

—H. B. Koonce, who was in college in ’81, is merchandising and farming at Richlands, N. C. Notwithstanding his extreme bashfulness in youth, he had the courage during Xmas to stand up with a young lady in the presence of witnesses, while the minister officiated. We had the pleasure of attending their reception and meeting many pleasant friends. From the number of receptions given them, we should judge Henry and his bride to be favorites at Richland.


—J.C. Brown, D. D. S., ’68, the only Alumunus of Trinity College who is a regular graduate of dentistry, and has the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery conferred upon him, now lives in Ansonville, N. C., and has a paying practice. He has three sons whom he will soon send to his Alma Mata to have them finish their education. Mr. Brown states that there is a fine school building in his village for sale, and wishes that some “good young man under thirty-five years old, who is up with the times in teaching and in the modern style and system,” would purchase the property and open a school at once. This is a good opportunity for some one who has had experience in teaching or desires to engage in that profession.
