ASHEBOROUGH FEMALE ACADEMY BEGINS, 1839.
ASHEBOROUGH FEMALE ACADEMY.
We invite public attention to the advertisement of this institution, which appears in another column. Great pains have been taken to lay the foundation of our Seminary on a firm and durable basis; and it is hoped and believed that it will be permanent, and extensively useful, not only to the inhabitants of our county and immediate vicinity, but also to youth at a distance; particularly in a Southern Direction. Our village is situated in a high, hilly, and particularly healthy section of country—near to the Back creek and Caraway mountains; and this being a fine grazing country, with good outlet for range of cattle and other live stock, our provisions are mostly of the domestic kind—plenty of cheese, Butter and Milk, fresh from the cool Recesses of the Dairy.
