WILLIAMSBOROUGH ACADEMY, 1805.
EDUCATION.
On the 5th day of June, an Academy in Williamsborough, Granville County, will commence its exercises under the direction of Mr. John Hicks, a gentleman of approved scholarship and morals. All the branches of academical education will be taught on the usual terms, board may be obtained in several respectable families on low terms. From the healthiness of the place, and reputation of the teacher, the trustees flatter themselves with a respectable school.
