A relic from the realms Of early

Gently been unearthed. 1t is a copy OF
the Daily Gazette, dated August 27
1895, owned and edited by Charlie
Rose. The four page paper, each
page little less than 9x6 inches, is
big enough to give a good idea OF
Chickasha in its pioneer days.
The leading article ON the front
page tells the readers that school will
open September 2, in the Academy
building, with about 100 pupils in at

main building of the Catholic school
but at that time was private property,
rented by lodges and various organi-
cations. Prof Wyeth of indianapolis
and Miss Mollie Mangum were to be
in charge of the school.
Another news item was "a close and
