A. G. KEssINGER. native of the
United States, for he was born in the
kingdom of Prussia just a little more
than half century ago. He came to
America with his parents when still a
very small boy and located in Rome.
He early eyinced liking for newspaper
work, and in 1855 he was put in The Sem
tinel office as an apprentice. He has
worked his way up from that-the hum
blest place in the establishment-to the
head of the newspaper, which he has
also greatly improved in almost every
department. Eight years after young
Kessinger began work as an apprentice
he became publisher of The Sentinel in
connection with E. B. Beers. The two
gentlemen are still associated in the
same work. The paper now compares
favorably with any of the interior dali
lies of New York state, and that is say
ing a great deal. In 1864 The Sentiners
daily issue consisted of twenty-four col
umns; now it requires thirty-six columns
to enable editors, news gatherers and
advertisers to say what they wish to the
readers. The weekly has been advanced
into semiweekly issue, and in its new
form has enjoyed remarkable prosperity.
The Sentinels are printed on a rapid
press, and altogether evidence the energy
of the men who direct their fortunes.
Mr.. Kessinger has been for twenty
five years member Of the association to
the presidency of which he has just been
elected. He has always taken an active
interest in the affairs of the organiza-
ton and has held several of its minor
offices. Mr.. Kessinger was one of the
leading spirits in the organization of the
United Press. In the city Of his adop-
ton he has always been highly esteemed,
and has held various offices Of trust in
political, financial and social life.
