Franklin County, North Carolina
Franklin Academy

E. BREWER'S ADMINISTRATION.

THE Trustees of this Academy take pleasure in informing the public that they have engaged as principal in this institution for the ensuing year, Mr. Eliah Brewer, of Massachusetts. This gentleman was graduated at Yale College, in the fall of 1824, and comes well recommended by the President of that Institution, as a man of scientific and literary attainments, of good moral and Christian character, and well qualified in every respect for the various departments of academical instruction.

The Trustees tender their warmest acknowledgements to a generous public, for the support heretofore given to this Institution, and can but indulge the pleasing hope, that from the high qualifications of the Teacher, the healthiness of the situation, and the low price of Board and Tuition, this Academy will continue to receive a liberal share of public patronage. Terms of Tuition will be—for Spelling, Beading, Writing, Arithmetic, and English Grammar, $8 per session—The dead languages and all other branches of education, $10 per session. The exercises of the Academy will commence on the first Monday in January next.  

By order,
Dec. 24.                                                            Saml. Johnson, Sec.
