Mr. C.W. TOMS, of Herford, N.C., who has been in our city for the past two or three days, with a view of securing the Academy for next sessions teaching, has, we are glad to learn, perfected his arrangements and will open the Fall Session about the first Monday in Sept. prox.  Mr. TOMS is an honored graduate of our University, and comes to Plymouth highly recommended.  He is deserving a first-class school.  Plymouth is well able to support it, and we trust he will be most heartily encouraged by our entire people by a full school on opening day.
