HEMDON ACADEMY, 1836.
BOARDING SCHOOL.

In Franklin County, five miles Northwest of Louisburg, the undersigned will open a school on Monday, the 16th of January next. The undersigned designs pursuing a course with his pupils, preparatory to an entrance into our own University, or the practical parts of an English Education, as may be preferred.

He will be prepared to accommodate a few Boarders, at Seven dollars per month; and the neighbors will accommodate as many as may apply. Few neighborhoods are better suited for such a School. It has all the advantages of health, and good water, and good Society. The people are industrious, moral and intelligent; and the undersigned feels assured that nothing like dissipation or idleness would be encouraged. A strict discipline will be kept up; and no young man need offer himself who is not willing to submit implicitly to all the rules and requisitions of the School.

Tuition, for common English Scholars, $7.50; Mathematical Scholars, $10; Latin, or Greek Scholars, $32.50, per Session—payable in advance.

The undersigned promises faithfully, on his part, to do everything in his power for the moral and intellectual improvement of all children that may be committed to his care. Any person wishing to board with the Subscriber will please make it known to him by letter, as soon as convenient.

Dec. 8,1836.                                                            John Y. Hicks.
