We have the best authority for an
nouncing that Maj. Drake, one of the
lessees of Tate Spring, has leased the
Turley House at this place, and will take
possession some time in September. Ma
jor Drake has considerable experience
as a Hotel caterer, and the good name
he has sustained at Tate's, as an urbane
and accommodating gentleman to his
guests, will detract nothing from the
Turley House when it passes into his
hands.

The tenth annual session of Norris
town Female High School will open on
Monday, the 4th of September next. To
parents and guardians, this Institution
offers first-class opportunities for the ed
ucation of their daughters and wards.
Prof. Summers, the Principal, is justly
entitled to an advanced position among
our foremost educators. For twenty
five years he has been connected with
the best schools in the country. Prof.
Lowry, the associate Principal, is an ac-
tive, energetic, educated, Christian gen
tleman, with several years experience in
the school-room, and eminently fitted,
by education and natural endowments,
for the position he so ably fills. Prof.
Dillworth, the popular Principal of the
Department of Music, has won golden
opinions during the last fifteen years by
his successful labors in the best schools
in East Tennessee. In Rogersville Fe-
male College, in Knoxville, and in Jones
boro', he has given entire satisfaction as
a Christian gentleman and first-class
teacher. For three years past in his
present position he has demonstrated
that he has no superior in his profession.
The charges in this school are very mod
crate. The health and morals of Morris
town are unsurpassed. None but the
best instructors are employed in the pri-
mary and Academic departments. With
these advantages, despite hard times
and the active competition of rival In
situations, we shall confidently expect to
see our Female school crowded at its
opening with young ladies from every
part of East Tennessee.
