Edgeield Male Academy,

NNIIE Exercises OF this Institution were resumed
L on the first of August, under the control OF
MrJ. GREGG LEITNER, our last years Teacher.
The experience of twelvemonth has fully salts
fed us that no more competent young gentleman
can be found in the State than the one now at the
head of our Academy. The best proof of this il
the general satisfaction given by him last year,
backed by the additional fact that his School, at the
termination of its first week for the second year,
numbered l3 Pupils.
The Trustees desire to assure the Public that
their united efforts will be given to the cause Of
their School, and continued and complete superyi-
sion will be exercised by them over its progress.
MIR. LrrrNEn will in short time procure first
rate Assistant. and any number short of four
can then be well attended to.
The Building is in comfortable condition, having
three large fire. places Zone in each OF the larger
rooms y and being well supplied with convenient
tables and chairs of the best finish.
Once more we appeal to the people of Edgefeld
and the adjoining Districts, for their encouragement
OF our earnest endeavors to establish first rate
preparatory School.
