The news section of the paper vas
confined to the third and fourth
pages and was largely of a foreign ma
ture and brought by sailing vessels,
Some of It being CLEANED from private
correspondence. There are also in one
column several dispatches" from va
rious sections of the South, dating
more than a month back.
The advertising space was small. the
total number of advertisements being
nine. In one of these w. Howard, Esq.
wanted number of men to work on
the Kennebec bridge, by the month or
otherwise while in another Elijah
Wood of Winthrop requested all per-
sons indebted to him to pay up before
the 10th of August or the demands
would be put in suit without further
notice. Another ad., that would be
considered little out of the usual in
these times was that of Thomas File
brown who included in his list of
goods. IN. f. Rum by barrel or gall
lon, wines, nails. glass. paints ana oils,
bar iron and steel"
As has ever been the custom with
many papers a portion of the last page
is devoted to poetry. and oddly enough
the edition in question contained the
following ballard by Robert Burns.
and which at this time is appropriate:

praisng Doans Kidney Pills as I actually
believe they were the means of prolonging
my life In the Fall of 1896 I made the
following statement: I suffered from kid
ney trouble for eight years. l had severe
pains in the small of my back which ex-
tended at times across my loins and down
both sides. My back was so weak that
could hardly get about and at night
was unable to rest comfortably AS my
work requires great deal of STOPPING
and lifting it can be seen that was in
great misery and on several occasions
was forced to lay off. I was beginning
to think there was no help for me when
saw Doan's Kidney Pills highly recon-
mended for troubles similar to mine and
concluded to give them a trial. I pro-
cured supply at Willis r. Partridge's
drug store and short use convinced me
that they were just what my system
required. I continued with this remedy
and can now work hard all day without
feeling any symptom of my former
trouble. 1t is a number of years since

very highly. The relic is not OF silver
or gold, being only copy of an old
newspaper, but it's value accrues from
the fact that it is a copy Of one of the
first newspapers printed in Augusta.
The paper in question is the "Kenne-

lished by Peter Edes In 1896. 1t is a
four page paper printed on a sheet
lyX22M inches, and has four columns
10 a page. The heading is elaborate
in design and is ornamenred at the
left side by a medallion bearing the
arms of the United States of America,
while at the right another medallion
shows what was probably at that time
a view of Boston harbor. Underneath
the heading is the motto of the pub

The date of the paper was Friday,
June 81, 1897.
Locally the paper contained little II
any news, the greater portion Of it's
space being devoted to the doings of
Congress for nearly n month previous
to the publication Of the paper, in
which was included a speech by a Rep
rcsentative named Smith in favor of a
bill for arming the merchant marine
with a view to preventing privateering.
Some space is also given to message
to Congress by President John Adams,
dated June II, 1897.
