Franklin County, North Carolina
Louisburg Academy

LOUISBURG MALE ACADEMY.

The examination of the students of this Academy, which is under the immediate superintendence of Mr. JOHN B. BOBBITT, closed on the 2d instant, and was attended by the trustees and many visitors, all of whom witnessed, with great interest, the proficiency of the scholars in the various departments of Literature.

Mr. B. has great experience as a teacher, and his success always insures him a good school; and the trustees, under a thorough conviction of his great proficency as an instructor, earnestly recommend him to public patronage. His permanent location, also, in Louisburg, presents the advantages of his powers and skill, in a high degree, to the youth who may be committed to his care.
The course of studies in this institution embraces the Latin, Greek and French Languages, and all the sciences taught in our University; and to the morals and good deportment of the students committed to his charge, unremitted attention will be paid by the Principal.

The Schools will commence again the first Monday in July next. Board may be obtained, on moderate terms, in respectable families near the Academy.

By order of the Board,
Samuel Johnson, Sec.
