States for several years past He is a teacher
by profession, and by the arrangements made
with him his interest is intimately identified
with the prosperity of the institution over
which he is to pres de. He comes recommen-
ded to US by gentlemen of high character and
standing in this State, as an accomplished scht-
lar, a gentleman and chrisian-com bining
with these qualities talent for maintaining
discipline apG happy faculty of imparting
know ledge. Mrs. McFarlan has had long ex-
perience in teaching, and is favorably known
to our community Mr.. Bode, who has been
heretofore associated with Mr.. A anderson, is

German Musician, who has taught for many
years with decided appreciation in several cities

besides the School Rooms, for the residence of
the Principal and his family, and the accommo-
dation OF several boarders. With the liberal
means annually at their disposal, it is the inten-
ton of the Trustees, hereafter, to extend the
buildings, so that all the boarding pupils may
be placed in the family of the Principal, and
under his immediate charge. The Academy
is located in a pleasant and retired part of the
town, and in the vicinity of respectable fami-
lies, where boarding can be had on reasonable
terms.
IL. IL
plain neat uniform dress for the pupils will be
prescribed, of which due notice will hereafter
be- given: md it will be standing rule, that
no pupil will be permitted to attend dancing or
social parties, either public or private.
canton is one Of the healthiest places in the
South during the whole year; and for morality,
intelligence and refinement, its citizens may
we'll compare with those OF any interior town
in the State.
Ii is the aim of the Principal and Trustees
to build up and permanently establish an instl-
tuition of the highest order, in which all the
advantages of thorough education to be had
any where else can be offered; thus saving to
our people the expense and sacrifice OF feeling
incurred in sending their children abroad. Sit
uated as our A cademy is, in the midst of
wealthy and intelligent population, at healthy
point, connected with all the principal places
of the State by stage and nail facilities, and
conducted by competent teachers, we see no
good reason why our most sangulne hopes |
should not be realized. We call on our fellow |
citizens of this and The neighboring counties to
give our A cademy fair trial, and if found
deserving, to sustain an institution here at
home, where they can watch over the health,
comfort and progress OF their daug hters during
their course of MISUNDERSTANDING ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render it wor
thy of patronage.
