Burke County, is now open for the reception of Scholars, under the patronage of a respectable Board of Trustees.

Great attention is paid to reading, speaking, writing, and pronouncing the English language with correctness and elegance, and to the manners and morals of the pupils; and every thing done to promote their happiness and improvement. Tuition $20 per annum, and hoard on the most reasonable terms. The village is pleasant and healthy.
