Prof. w. h. Jones.
Last week we mentioned that this gentleman
would take charge OF Jones's Academy, on the
Mt. Pleasant pike, occupied for the past few
wears by Prot, p w. Dodson, good teacher
and clever gentleman. Prof. Jones is a native
of Maury county, but has been absent about
twenty-three years, in West Tennessee, where
be has won considerable fame as teacher. He
is member of the talented Jones family of
our county. We make a few extracts from
papers, showing in what estimation he is held
by leading journals Of the State.
We quote from Meals State Gazette: eve
are glad to know that Melrose is rapidly in
creasing in popularity and usefulness, for its
president, W, h. Jones, is most deserving
gentleman and accomplished, skillful, pains
taking, teacher"
And from the Memphis Appeal: prof, W.
X. Jones Is beyond question one of the most
thorough instructors that can be found in any
State"

native State; with an experience in his
cho sen profession of some twenty-odd years,

She is associated in the school as matron and
teacher. Too much cannot we'll be said IN
