THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER.

After six weeks incubation, the noun
tain has lsbored and has hat hed instead
of the game chicken promised, an swk-
ward duckling. The Editor OF the Vallsy
has used nearly two columns aud a half
to prove that the Shenandoah Tdlleg.
paper started in 1855 is the Oldest paper
in this county, and with all his proofs has
established the single fact that the
father of his mother published a German
paper in New Market in 1sJ6, and prob
ably as late as 1902. The paper was dis
continued and its publication is not re-
membered by the Oldest inaabitant of
New Market.
That the present Editor Of the VaHey,
paper succeeding the Spirit Of Democracy
which was established in 1855, aud is
not Al years of age nov, should have
the effrontery to claim that this same
Shenandoah Valley is SO years old, and
base his claims on the fact that he is the
grandson of his grandfather, and that
by some dogma Of apostolic Succession"
has the power of adding AZ years to the
age of the paper, is too ridiculous to de-
serve reply. For the same reason any
other descendant of Rev. Ambrose Hen
kel could start new paper in 1896 and
claim that it ia 81 years Of age. II the
Editor hs. made good hi' claim, by his
proofs and arguments, we see no reason
why, in future ages, the descendants of
the present Editor could not establish the
fact that he was personally present and
supervised the Augsburg Confession, IN
less it should happen that he should
have no descendants. As the
proofs sdduced fully establish the
facts which we published seven week:
ago, we think it would emily be faic and
sourteous for the Editor of the Talley tC
take his proper place, in the column, and
not continue to masquerade as the Oldest
paper In the county.
