1.-THE efforts of newspaper to
build up town are practically nullI-
fed unless it Is backed up by the bus
mess men,, says an exchange. GA
stranger turns from the reading col
umns of a paper to Its ad vertislng
pages, and if he fails to find there
the business cards of the merchants
and professional firms he comes to the
conclusion that it is good place for
MIN to keep clear of. No town ever
grew without the active assistance of
its newspaper. Nor can the newspa-
per build up the localities without the
assistance of the town. Business
men should realize this, and remem>
Der that in lending support to the
newspapers they are not only building
up their own business. but are help-
ing to support that which is steadily
working for the growth OF the whole
town."
Dan CarIuth, who was for some
time connected with this office. was
recently accidentally shot near Chat
taDooga, bis home. On account of
ITS being labor day, he was given a
holiday. On the evening of that
day, he in company with several
other boys, went in swimming in
Chattanooga creek. Afterwards while
Dan was dressing one of the boys
picked up a rifle and snapped it,
not knowing 1t was loaded, but it was,
and It's contents entered Dams body
near the left shoulder blade and
lod ged IN the lower part of the left
lung. The bullet is small one and
on that account the doctor does not
think the wound will prove fatal.
From private source we learn that
Dan is Improving. He Is a good
boy and is quite an assistant to his
Widowed mother. 1t is to be hoped
that he will soon recover.

The First Public Free School of Amer.

The First Public Free School OF Amer
lea.
The first Public Free School oil
America was established in 1894 al
Annapolis, Maryland, in Anne Arim-
del county. 1t was called King Will
Iiam's School in honor of the then
reigning king of England. Francis
Nicholson was at that time governor
of the Province. The assembly con-
vened September 81, 1894, and the
first completed legislation of that ses-
sion was an act for "The Advance
ment of Learning" The governor
himself promising to give ESQ to-
wards the building of the school and

port. Other prominent persons in
terested ia the cause and growth OF
education promised thousands OF
pounds of tobacco, the current coin
of the Province, for this purpose.
Thus it was with great zeal that the
ancient Marylanders laid broad and
deep the foundation for Americas first
public free school. The object oil
which was to be 1.-The pro pagation OF
the gospel and the educ alton of the
youth of the Province in good letter:
and manners.
This memorable academy of King
William was plain brick building,
containing both school rooms and
apartments for the master and his
family. As every enterprise connect
ed with America in those early days
was subject TO the royal approval.
the progress Of school affairs was nee.
essarily slow, consequently the build
ing was not ready for use until 1901.
In 1886 Mr.. Alex Gaddes was
sent from London to take charge oil
the school, but as the house was moi
ready for occupancy the Assem- bly,
granted him 10 1000 pounds of tobacco
and he was shortly after made an un.
dermaster of the collegiate school, o.
Williamsburg, Va, which position
he held while the Annapolis building
was being completed.
