Franklin County, North Carolina
Mount Welcome Academy

MOUNT WELCOME ACADEMY, 1828.
MOUNT WELCOME ACADEMY.
The subscriber begs leave to inform his friends and the public, that he will open a school, on the second Monday of January next, about three miles from Louisburg, on the main stage road leading to Warren-ton. Tuition will be as follows: For spelling, reading, writing and arithmetic, six dollars per session; English Grammar and Geography, seven dollars; Latin, Greek and the sciences, nine dollars—payable in advance. A session to consist of five months. Board may be had with Wm. J. Newbern, who lives in about two hundred yards of the institution; also with Mrs. Sarah Fenner, Peter Foster and Capt. John Perry, for thirty-six dollars per session.

Taking into consideration the healthiness and pleasantness of the neighborhood, the low price of tuition and board, and the experience which I have had in the instruction of youth, I flatter myself that I shall receive a liberal share of public patronage. Particular attention will be paid to the morals of those youths confided to my care.

Dec. 26, 1827.                                                         Thos. G. Stone.
