WILL TAKE PAY IN BRANDY, 1809.
ANENGLISH SCHOOL,
On Low Terms,
Is opened by the Subscriber, for the term of twelve months from the 9 th instant, in a secluded room in the house of Mr. C. Christopher, opposite Mr. C. Parish's Tavern. The terms of Tuition is Ten Dollars per annum, payable quarterly. I should be glad to take two or three Boarders, at Sixty Dollars for Board and Tuition the year. One great advantage to the scholars in boarding in my house will be that they will have the benefit of a night School, which I shall keep six months in the year, gratis. For board payment may be made in Corn, Bacon, or Brandy, and a generous price allowed—one half paid in advance the other at the end of the Year.
Those who please to encourage this school may depend on the strictest attention being paid to the instruction and morals of the pupils by their Preceptor. The Public's humble servant,
Raleigh, January 12, 1809. Archibald Wills.
