TWENTY YEARS.

This issue rounds out twenty years
for The Republican. Twenty years OF
continuous weekly visits to our readers
through sunshine andshadow. Start
ing in q small room not more than
fifty feet from our present spacious
and elegant quarters, over Handy
corner grocery" in the Nall proper
ty, this paper was less than half its
present size and printed on Washing
ton hand press. The entire outfit could
have been loaded on a one horse wag-
on. 1t has required hard work to
place it where it is at the end of twen-
ty years. The writer was with 1t at
the beginning. and knows something
OF the hardships which were encoun-
tered in the effort to make Republic
an paper live in the then rock-ribbed
Democratic county of Ohio. There
had been two failures in efforts to
establish Republican journals here.
The Ohio County News, and The Ken
lucky Progress had both disappoint-
ed the Republican leaders and their
subscribers, through early death, and
it was freely predicted that The Re-
publican would soon follow them to
the newspaper grave yard. This made
it all the more difficulr for those who
had the early management OF the en-
terprise. However the evil predic
tions were made to go astray, by hard
work, and loyalty of our many Re-
publican friends throughout the coun-
ty. 1t was not long before the DEM
ocratic business men found that It
was to their interest to patronize 1t,
and that 1t was an institution which
deserved to be maintained because 1t
was a distinct benefit to our county.
Among those who have been connect
ed with the paper We mention, I. E.
Mcclure, Joe b. Rogers, S. A. An
derson, Fon and Lon Rogers, J. H.
Thomas, Jamse NJ. DeWeese and c.
E. Smith.
From the lowly beginning under
the management OF those mentioned
above and its present owners and
managers, the plant has grown until
it is second to none West Of Louis
Vile. as a country weekly. We are
thankful to all our old and new friend
for past patronage and hope to merit
their confidence and favor in the fu-
ture as in the past. With malice to-
ward none and charity for all. here's
for another twenty years run.
