MUMFORD'S SCHOOL, 1815.
FEMALE EDUCATION.
Mrs. George Mumford's recluse, and, at times, lonely situation, induced Mr. M. to suggest the Instruction of two or three young Ladies, as a pleasing alternative. Under this impression, Mrs. M. tenders her services to those who may be willing to confide to her so important a charge.
In addition to the common rudiments, Mrs. Mumford will instruct them in History, Geography, Music, Painting, Embroidery and other needle work.
Letters addressed to Geo: Mumford, Esq. Milton, Rowan County, shall receive prompt attention—and the terms of Tuition, etc., made known.
