FOLD GLORY" NAMED
 BY CAPTAIN DRIVER

"Old Glory" as the popular name of the American flag is said to have been applied first in 1881 by a Salem, Mass skipper named William Driver, who was at that time captain of the brig Charles Doggett.
 Captain Driver was a successful deep sea sailor and at the time of bestow- ing the name "Old GIory" on the flag he was preparing to shape the brig's curse to the southern Pacific.
 Just before the brig left Salem a young man at the head of a party of friends saluted Captain Driver on the deck of his vessel and presented him with a large and beautifully made American flag. It was sent aloft, and when flung to the breeze Captain Dri- yer christened it "Old Glory" He took it to the southern Pacific, and years after, when old age forced him to re- linquish the sea, he treasured the flag as an old friend
 In 1887 Captain Driver moved to Nashville, Tenn, and he died there in 1SS6
