MR. AND MRS. JOHN B. BOBBITT RETURN.
Louisburg Male and Female ACADEMIES.

The Trustees take great pleasure in informing the public, that they have engaged Mr. John B. Bobbitt and lady to take charge of these institutions for the ensuing year. Mr. and Mrs. Bobbitt have been long and extensively known as teachers of youth, and in a former engagement, for several years in these Academies, gave entire satisfaction to the Trustees and to the parents and guardians of the pupils committed to their charge. The Academies are beautifully situated in a high and healthy country, and in the midst of a moral and religious society; and when to these considerations are added the distinguished qualifications of the preceptor and preceptress, and the low prices of board and tuition, the Trustees feel justified in saying that no institutions in the State can have higher claims to public patronage. The schools will be opened on the 1st day of January next.

Nov. 25, 1831.                                                  Sam'l Johnson, Sec.
