MOUNT CLIO ACADEMY, 1807.
The Trustees of Mount Clio Academy beg leave to inform the public, that this seminary will be open for the reception of students on Monday the 21st day of September next, under the superintendence of Mr. Jacob Nelson as principal teacher. The celebrity which Mr. Nelson has justly acquired through a long course of experience as a teacher, and his well known literary attainments, induces the trustees to hope this institution will meet with a sufficient share of public patronage. The situation is extremely healthy.
The rates of tuition will be, five dollars per quarter for the Latin and Greek languages, together with the sciences; and four dollars per quarter for English Grammar. Boarding may be had in decent families in the neighborhood at the moderate rate of forty dollars per annum.
By order of the Board,
James McQueen, Sec'ry
Robeson county, August 28, 1807. .
