you want to buy or sell anything, than

this fall. Their goods are pretty, at
tractive and cheap.

School will begin December 5th. 1SS7.
A special feature of the law incorpo
rating our school is that every resident
patron is credited with the Public
funds apportioned to his children under
the school law of the State.
Resident children who are dependent
upon the Public School funds for educa
tion are received into the School at any
time without charge.
This school and system offers the be6t
educational advantages attainable in
Edenton. By dividing pupils of several
grades of advancement, among teachers
employed for. each .grade, better and
more efficient instruction is obtained at
less cost than can be Iud otherwise.
Pupils from other districts are invited
to enter the School at above rates of
instruction, and they can obtain good
board at moderate prices.
