In the meantime the Hayden bunch

ORIGINAL OLD GLORY
AND HOW TWAS NAMED

The ringing of the school bell again
attracts our attention ana we observe
that the Stars and Stripes are again
flying over our public schools, indi-
eating that the greatest of American
institutions is again busy. Old Glory
looks better to us every time we stop
t1 consider what it comprehends.
The term "Od Glory" originated i'll
1881, when The ladies' of Salem, Mass
made the flag which was presented to
the old captain, William DRYER, for
his good ship the Charles Doggett,
which was to get away the next morn

So, on January Y, 1881, the whole
tcWn of Salem had assembled to wit

The flag was folded in a triangle

slowly rose it gradually fell apart in
rpples Of red. white, and blue until
as it reached the top it had unfolded

voice gave u shout which could have

Driver, who nad reured from the sea,
lived in Nashville and for some time
he kept old Glory" sewed inside of
an old comfort and kept it i'll an old

Later, when the confederate flag
was hauled down from the state house.
Captain Driver offered to get Old
Glory from its hiding place as he did
not consider the flag big enough that
they we're about to put up. Although
an cid man, he climbed to tho dome
and raised the flag himself.
