FAYETTEVILLE ACADEMY UNDER WM. L. TURNER.
The Trustees of the Fayetteville Academy with pleasure inform the Parents and Guardians of Children, that the Rev. William L. Turner is engaged as Principal Teacher in the Seminary, and will enter upon the duties of his appointment about the middle of November next. The degree of Reputation this gentleman has deserved and enjoyed as Principal of the Academy in Raleigh renders unnecessary the addition of anything on this head. * * * The Trustees contemplate and have partly arranged an enlarged plan of Education in the Female Department, and the addition of a Teacher in Music. * * *
Fayetteville, Oct. 5, 1809. David Anderson, President.
