A. h. Laird OF the contracting firm
Of Matthews & Laird was in Silver
City from Fort Bayard, the govern.
ment sanitarium for consumptives,
where his firm has the contract for
erecting the hospital corps, barracks
and other buildings. Mr.. Laird says
that while excavating for the founda-
ton of the barracks. east Of the pres
ent hospital. the workmen unearthed
an ancient Indian burying ground
about two feet from the surface. A
large number OF skeletons have been
unearthed. some in a good state OF
preservation, others simply jumbled
mass of bones. In one skull the teeth
were in a perfect state OF preserva-
ton, even aud well formed. A Jaw
bone was also dug up, evidently that
OF prehistoric giant. However. the
most interesting find consisted OF
number OF specimens OF Indian pot
terry. An earthen jar. about ten in
ches long, six inches wide and four
inches deep. was unearthed. The
ends were rclnded while the sides
and bottom We're perfectly Hat. One
OF the Hat aides lay against an Indian
skull. Inside the Jar was drawing
of terrapin or mud turtle. every out
line of which was perfectly visible

PERIENCE WITH SOLICITORS.
Finally Succumbed to Persuasion and
His Own Ad. Writer.

~ GOOD many years ago, when /

M&&S merchant, in conversation with
Ss.S>2 his son, there were but two news
papers here, and 1 subscribed to both OF
them, and thought I had done my duty,
until one of the indianapolis Journal peo-
pie camped on my counter. and between
visits to the cracker barrel talked ad-
vertising until was tired. He didn't even

make my name a household plaything

crowds who fought and strove to get into
my store. Between the wear and tear on my
patience and what that solicitor ate OF
crackers, Goldfish, prunes. etc.. finally gave
up and placed an ad. with the Journal for
year.
1 never expected to get any direct returns
for 1t, but the boys all noticed 1t, COM

after while got letters from men in other
counties asking for prices on my goods, un-

that ad, and 1t was several years before an
other Journal man came around, and got

cuss had vivid imagination, and the things
he wrote about my goods made me hustle to

ration of the sexes in schools, that Vlrile
men and feminine women may once more
be found in social and professional life.
Miss Merrill's school for large girls soon
outgrew the capacity of the Merrill home
stead and was removed to the Fourth
PRESBYTERIAN Church (now the Baldwin
block. and soon became the rival of the
school of the Axtells and other female
schools.
SCHOOLS FOR BOYS.
The schools for boys were not quite as
numerous as the schools for girls, being
generally larger. In 1882 the Legislature
leased the southwest corner of University
square to the county for thirty years for a
county seminary. This became the chief
boys school of the city. 1t was sometimes
called the high school, but it was also
primary school, for the curriculum ex-
tended from reading and writing and arith-
metic to the dead languages and higher
mathematics In all its history, however, 1t
never had but one professional teacher, Mr..
Kemper, who taught several years with
marked success, and left to take profess
sorship in an Eastern college. The teachers,
: with that exception, were Presbyterian
preachers with a pastoral charge in the
city, or young men studying law or medi-
cine or theology. The best remembered
teacher of the time except Professor KEN
per was the Rev. William Holiday. He was
for time pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church, but he supplemented his pastoral
work. as did every Presbyterian preacher
from the beginning. down to and includ-
Inc % a
wart man educationally. theologically and
physically. 1t was not in him to sympa-
thize with the Armenianism of Mr.. Beecher,
a contemporary, but he so held to the faith
as 1t was delivered at Geneva that he often
went out to strengthen the things that re-
main. My first acquaintance with him was
in 1S41, when out on one of his missionary
tours. AS a teacher he was thorough and
accurate, and he expected his students to be
thorough take the consequences He
taught, when not in the seminary, In his
own residence or in an old carpenter shop
or In the basement of some of the churches
When teaching a class of boys well In their
teens in the basement of the Baptist Church
on the southwest corner of Meridian and
Maryland he resorted to his alternative one
day on their failure to conjugate the Latin
verb "amo,' which had been assigned for
a lesson. He cowhided every one of them
vigorously. They had the lesson the next
day. Perhaps Miss Merrill had this con-
tingency in view when she said boys ought
to be taught by men.
During this period several attempts were
made to build schoolhouses, but they were
practically abortive, only two or three
one-roomed buildings were put up. 1t had
to be done by subscription. With 1851 new
era i'm schools began, of which may write
a word or two later on.

1t has been frequently remarked
that the most popular thing in
Edge6eld either of the past, pres

striking manifestation of this was
seen in the immense crowd assem-
bled in the opera house on Friday
evening last to witness the closing
exercises of the grades under the
instruction Of Mrs. King and Miss
Sudie Davis. 1t is doubtful if the
opera house has ever seated 80
many people since it's erection, ,and
looking over the sea of faces, even
the oldest inhabitants were forced
to say that many, many of them
were those of strangers, 30 far
abroad has gone the fame of our
great educational Mecca.
