Mount Pleasant Female Seminary
We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Mount Pleasant Female Seminary which appears in our columns today. Rev. P. A. Strobel, the Principal of this Seminary, is well and favorably known throughout our State as the recent Agent of the American Bible Society for North Carolina, in which position he displayed great efficiency and won the commendation of the friends of the Bible cause throughout the State. Mr. Strobel has had large experience as a teacher and we doubt not will make this Seminary in every way worthy the confidence ans patronage of the public. The rates of tuition and board are so very moderate as to place it in the power of people even of limited means to give their daughters a good education. We commend this Seminary to the favorable consideration of our readers.
