PITTSBOROUGH ACADEMY UNDER J. M. LOVEJOY.
PITTSBOROUGH ACADEMY, N. C.
The Trustees of this Academy take great pleasure in announcing to the friends of education throughout the State, that they have engaged the valuable services of Mr. J. M. Lovejoy to take charge of this Academy. The Trustees have received very flattering testimonials, which is an evidence of the estimation in which this gentleman was held. Mr. Lovejoy is a graduate, a first-rate mathematician and linguist, and is said to have the rare faculty of imparting knowledge with facility. It is unnecessary to speak of the great advantages Pittsborough offers in point of health and society, and it is believed they are superior to those of any town in N. C.
M. Q. Waddell, Sec. to Trustees.
