ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1831.
MRS. EDWARD JONES
Private Boarding School for Young Ladies.
The School which has for several years been conducted at Bock Best, the family residence, is now removed to the vicinity of Pittsborough, and the next session will commence on Monday, the 7th of February, 1831, and continue five months.
The very remote situation of Bock Best rendered it on many accounts inconvenient for a School, while all the advantages of retirement, without any of its inconveniences are secured by the present commodious and pleasant situation, a few hundred yards from the town. Pittsborough, and its vicinity, are remarkable for health, being the resort of many families from the low country during the summer months. The young ladies will be chiefly under the instruction of Miss Charlotte Jones, with a competent Assistant.
When it is desired, young ladies who have friends in town may be boarded with them. It is proper, however, to remark, that those who reside in the family must necessarily enjoy more opportunities for improvement, and that the customary attentions to them during the intervals of school hours, will not be abated or interrupted on account of the admission of pupils that may board elsewhere.

Terms Per Session.
For young Ladies exceeding twelve years of age, Board and Tuition, $75, including Books and Stationary with all other necessary expenses.
For children under twelve, $70, or $65 if Books & Stationary be furnished by themselves.
Mrs. Jones has much pleasure in stating, that in the Musical Department, she has obtained the services of Mrs. Le Messurier, a lady well known as an accomplished instructress in Music. A practising Piano provided by Mrs. Jones without extra charge.
Chatham Co. Jan. 29, 1831.
