EDITORIAL NOTICE, 1810. WESTRAYVILLE ACADEMY
In Nash County, under the direction of Mr. John Bobbitt. Of the merits of this Institution we know nothing. No small recommendation of its Teacher is that he is a graduate of the University of North Carolina: We cannot therefore doubt his fitness for his vocation. Mr. S. Westray and Dr. T. Jones are patrons of the Institution, and they are Gentlemen in whom the public will willingly confide.
