 Newspaper. The Carroll County Farmer, published at Bentonville by Robert s. Hines, originator of the Grange movement in this part of the state, and distributed at Berryville, was the first newspaper bearing local name. Ii began and was discontinued in the short space ofyear, 1874 About the same time W. s. Hilton and E. R, Marvin established the Carroll County Boulders at Carrollton. They had local correspondents in nearly all the differert townships, and had fair cir culation But Marvin, although the son of an ex-president of the State Senate, was not gifted with any great amount of industry, and Hilton found a more congenial location in Kansas, where he is now editor and proprietor of the Wa Keeney World. W. w. Moore & Son, proprietors of the Fayet- teville Democrat, established the Car roll County Advocate at Berryvile up- on the suspension of Hines sheet. It passed into the control of J. c. Hanna within few months, and in 1875 was merged with the Boulder, under Tilton's proprietorship, and so continued until finally suspended in 1877. For a short time the county was without an organ" but in 1879 Jones Bros. established the Enterprise at Berryville. In September, 1880, it became the Weekly Eagle. Charles & Pittman and c. T. Moore were suc- cessively proprietors for short time, anh in April, 1881, w. J. Hailey as- sumed journalistic responsibilities as it's proprietor. His knowledge of the " art preservative" was acquired under his own tuition. In September, 1881, the name was changed to Carroll County Intelligencer December 10, 1884, the present style, Carroll County Progress, was adopted when the paper reached it's present style, a seven-column quar- to.
