lar. a gentleman and christian combining
with these qualities talent for maintaining

besides the School Rooms, Tor the residence OF
the Principal and his family, und the accommo-
Jation 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 boa'dlng pupils may
be placed in the family of the Principal, and
under his immediate charge. The Academy
is located in pleasant and retired part OF the
town, and in the vicinity Of respectable fami-
lies, where boarding can be had on reasonable
terms.
With the view to prevent extravaganza, q
plain neat uniform dress for the pupils will be
prescribed. of which due notice will hereafter
be given: And 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
well compare with those OF any interior town
in the State.
II is the aim Of the Principal and Trustees
10 build up and permanently establish an nstl-
tution 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
mated as our Academy is, in the midst OF
wealthy and intelligent population, al 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 sangnlne hopes
should not be realized. We call on our fellow
citizens of this and The neighborng counties to
give our Academy fair trial, and i found
deserving, to sustain an institution here al
home, where they can watch over the health,
comfort and progress of their daughters during
their course Of education--pledgng ourselves
that no efforts shall be spared to render 1t wor-
Thy Of patronage.
