A VIGOROUS
OLD FRIEND

ali .octogenarian. it having reached
its eightieth year with this weeks
issue The Churchman is one of the
most interesting church papers pub
lished in the United States and in its
sere and yellow leaf is as vigorous as
ever.
The history Of the Southern
Churchman forms chapter in tne
annals of Alexandria. 1t made its
appearance III this city in 1885, and
was first published in a building
which stood upon the site now occu-
pied by the Barrett Press building
on The east side Of Fairfax street,
then known as "Printer's Alley" The
Gazette was published in the same
building at that time. Rev. George
A. Smith was for some time the edi-
tor Of the Churchman In the lattar
part of the fifties.. the owners of the
Gazette having purchased from Nor
decai Miller the building on the south
side of Prince street, near Fairfax,
removed their plant into the same.
The editor of the Churchman re-
moved his plant into the composing
room Of the Gazette, in which the
type for both papers was set until
May 24, 1861, when the city was
captured by the federal army.
Rev. D. F. Sprigg. rector of Grace
Church had in the meantime become
the proprietor of the Churchman. The
publication of the Gazette and
Churchman was brought to close
by the war, although the former
soon resumed publication. The
Churchman, however, did not re-
appear until 1865. when the war had
,een brought to a close 1t was
sjen a small four7page paper. in
usarked contrast ITO its present shape,
d quarto of twenty-four pages.
Rev George A. Smith and Philip
Slaughter were for several years
weekly contributors to the Church
man. In 1879 the plant was removed
to Richmond, in which city the paper
has since been published.
The mechanical force of the Church
man was composed at times of VIII
liam S. Hough Louis Hough. Frank
Hutchins, Ben Fugitt, George ".
Rock, Louis A Tucker, Stephen
Woolls and others, well known TO
many AleXandrians now living.
The fact that the Churchn1an was
published for so many years in the
same building with the Gazette the
interlningling Of the editors and
woromen naturally produced frater-
nal feeling. All save two who were
IN any way connected with the
Churchanan while it was an Aleyan-
dr!a Institution have paid the debt
of nature.

THIEF RIVER FALLS MAR
BILE AND GRANITE
WORKS.

The ancient way of marking the last
resting place Of the dead was very
crude indeed when compared with
the modern mausOleums, monuments
and statuary which are prominent in
every cemetery today. TO meet the
growing demand for superior line
of work in this section of the state
the Thief River Falls Marble and
Granite Works (Inc), with an att
thorized capital of $5O,OOO, was estab-
lished in 1914. This company makes
a speciality of cemetery work, of ORR
mausoeums, crosses, etc. They fur
kinds of cemetery work from small
marble headstones to the most ex-
pensive mausoleum. In addition to
this kind of work they are also spe-
cialists on interior marble and tile
work and also do a large and grow
ing business in cut stone.
Mr.. G.. II. Sandum is the manager
and treasurer of this concern, and
has been a resident of Thief River
Falls eight years, and before en-
tering this business was in the real
estate and general merchandise lines.
Mr.. Hugh Jeffery, the secretary, was
born in London, but has worke for
some of the leading marble and gram
ite men of America.
If any of Our readers are contem-
plating the purchase of anything in
this line they would do we'll to get
the estimates from this company be-
fore purchasing, as we feel sure they
can satisfy you in every particular.
