The Spring session of this excellent school will commence on the 5th of February next.  Parties who contemplate patronising this school, would do well to read the advertisement of the Principal, which we print in another column.  The Board of Directors are R.H. WOOD, President; J.C. FLEMING, Secretary; Hugh HARKINS, Treasurer; J.H. NEILSON and Dr. A.A. COLEMAN; and the exercises of the school will be presided over by J. Milton HUBBARD, Principal, and Austin M. STATLER, assistant.  It will be seen from this arrangement that the Bolivar Male Academ yis in a floursighing condition, and there is no doubt but what it will be well attended by the youths of Hardeman and adjoining counties.
