GRANVILLE COUNTY, N. C.
TT. d RRACY

N offering this School to the public, the Trus-
i tees fatter themselves, that they have procured
the services of a gentleman, prominently qualified
to direct it with ability. He comes well recon-
mended as a Teacher of the highest order; q Grad
uate, capable of teaching a thorough course, pre-
paratory to entering the highest Glasses in the Uni
versity of North Carolina, and from the experience
he has acquired in teaching, he fatters himself thai
he will be able to give undoubted satisfaction.
There is now nearly completed in the Town Of
Henderson, removed from the business of the place,
one of the neatest Academies in the State, which
has been built by the patriotic citizens of the
place, bringing also TO their aid the friends of Ed
u~cation round about, and that too at a heavy ex-
pense, and it would be suicidal in us as Trustees,
not to place it on the best footing.
The gentleman whose services we offer to the
public, is a native of Virginia, by birth and educa-
cation and therefore has feelings allied with our
own, as he wishes to make this permanently his
home, he would ask al whoknow him to aid in this
great work, the education of the heart as well as the
head, and when this shall be done, he can have the
pleasing qualification of knowing that he has per-
formed the part of the philanthropist-the scholar.
Henderson preseIts one of the finest fields for
the encouragement of education in the State, COM
bining healtl, morality and intelligence. 1t has
also other advantages; it is easy of access-being
situated Immediately on the Raleigh and CASTOR
Rail Road also at the terminus Of a branch of the
great Western Stage Line, a~ffOrding to all who may
wish to patronize the School easy of access.
The Scholastic year of this Instieution is divided
into two Sessions of five monthS each. The Spring
Term to INNER the first Monday in January,
1854. The Fall Term will commence the first Mon
day in July following, and at the close ofcach Term
there will be q public examination.
Board can be had in the Village or country, as
may be desired, at usual rates.
No deduction for loss of time, except in cases oil
protracted illness.
We would impress upon all who may wish tc
