ANNUNClATION ACADEMY
Its Forty-fifth Session Will Open on
September 80.

The Graphic calls attention with
pleasure to the notification in another
column Of the Sisters Of Charity, that
Annunc;ation academy will open it's
forty fifth session on Wednesday, Sep.
tenlber so. An imposing beautiful
building, which is an ornament to the
city, has been erected by the Sisters
Of Charity for the accommodation OF
their growing patronage and as there
is no Interference in religious matters,
the school being practically undenom-
national. the attendance Of local pupils
should be generous and general enough
to testify that the establishment Of
such female college at Pine Bluff is
fully jus tilted. The neighboring coun
ties are invited to send their best
yt ung ladies as boarders with the as
slrance that such a step will not be
recl cited.
