Graham School
First To ODn
Teacher s Home

Graham school, in the first district,
is the first school in the county to
erect teachers residence on the
premises and thus become a pioneer
in this most progressive, of, modern
school measures. The cottage in
which future teachers of the school
will reside is a neat and comforta-
BILE building and is erected upon the
lot upon which the school house
stands.
This building was erected without
cost to the county, but came from the
public spirited and patriotic desire
of the patrons to be abreast of the
most modern school practices. The
building cost more than $1,000 aside
from much labor that was contributed
The painting was done by Prof. Clyde
Moore, the principal of the school,
without cost.
Graham is one of the youngest
schools in the county, being located
and established only little more than
two years ago by the county board OF
eduation. 1t is a consolidation of the
schools formerly located at Kettle
Mills and Greenfield Bend. In order
to erect a modern and commodious
school the citizens of the community
raised and contributed s2,10O. Alto

Linden about noon and flying without
haste reached Columbia at 1870.
The party of aviators was escorted
to, the Bethel House by Mayor Ded-
man, where they were provided with
dinner and shown the courtesies OF
their hospitable host.
Failure of the aviators to reach Co
lumbia on schedule time caused much
uneasiness and telephone calls were
made to Nashville, Mt. Pleasant,
Franklin and other towns in an effort
to locate them. The information at
noon that they had left Jackson early
this morning created the impress sion
that they had suffered an accident.
Hope that they would reach here to-
day was beginning to wane when The
Herald received q telephone message
from Hampshire that the machines
had passed there about O'clock. The
word passed quickly that the ayiators
were coming and the people began to
rush in speeding automobiles to the
selected landing place. Carlton Fry's
