AMERICAS FIRST NEWSPAPER.

1t is considerably over two hun
tr6d years since the first American
newspaper was published. and the
early history Of Journalism in this
country is somewhat Of a stormy
| story. Puritan New England did not
take very kindly to anything that
looked progressive, and especially to
something that might develop into
breaking up the staid and sterotyped
style of their living.
At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the postmaster at Boston was
John Campbell. He was in the prac-
tice of sending news letters to the
various governors of the New Eng
land colonies. Because OF his of
fetal connection with the colonial
post he was able to send these let
tiers under a special crank Be
lieving that there was a greater de
mand for these letters, he started to
print them. OF Monday, April oath,
1904, under the title, "The Boston
News Letter"
When Campbell was unable to
meet expenses, h was aided through
a subsidy from the Massachusetts, col
ony. Before the appearance of the
Boston News Letter there had been
several printed sheets which, after a
fashion, gave the news of New Eng
land. These might very properly be
called the precursors of the Ameri-
can press. Foremost among them
was "Publick Occurrences" brought
out in 1890 by Benjamin Harris.
Harris object in publishing Pub
lick Occurrences" as he stated, was
that something may be done toward
the curing of that spirit Of lying
which prevails among U.s. Incident
ally, he promised TO publish d list of
liars in Boston-a threat which some
wag suggested accounted for the i'm

mediate suppression of the sheet by
the authorities. The official reason,
however, vas that the paper contain
ed matters which reflected upon the
government.
As Harris brought out only one is
sue of his paper, it is regarded by
~h-st0rlans as a precursor, rather than
q regular newspaper. Undoubtedly
the distinction of being the first
American newspaper belongs to the
Boston News Letter.
This newspaper, throughout its al
lotted life of three-score and ten
years, was always loyal to the Brit
ish crown-so loyal. in fact, that it
was dubbed "The Court Gazette"
1t was the only paper published at
Boston while that city was in the
hands of the British during the Rev
olu ion. That it did not survive the
evacuation was possibly due to it's
malicious attacks on Washington,
whom it accused of the grossest i'm
morality.
For many years the control of the
News Letter was in the hands of the
Diapers. One of these Diapers seem
etl to have a mania for buying other
newspapers which sprung up to dis
rute the fields Of Boston. The Drap-
Err of "oneolidation mania first bought
the Massachusetts, Gazette and unit
ed it with the News Letter.
The next paper, published in 176S,
was the Boston Post Boy, and the
combination was published under the
title Of The Massachusetts Gazette"
This singular arrangement continued
from May %, 1853. until Sept. 25,
1859, when a separation was made
and only The News Letter continued.
The last issue of the News Letter,
has been preserved, bears the
date of Feb. %, 1776, a date which
because Of the day and of the year,
has a double significance for every
patriotic American.-Ex.

The writer is prepared to state that
from several days travel >through
Grenada County, coming in close con
tact with farmers, that no similar
section in the South possesses a more
desirable, law abiding and intelligent
set of people than can be found in
this county. They have excellent
schools, directed by intelligent and
competent teachers, good substantial
church ediices, presided over by min
listers of education, culture and lib
eral thought; in fact, Grenada Coun-
ty is keeping pace with the most pro
gressive communities in the matter
of education and the development of
churches and agencies for the promo
ton of moral life.
A Farm in Grenada County Means
Prosperity.
Prosperity must be based upon
agriculture. This is the basic in
dustry-the bottom industry of So
ciety. 1t is a productive industry
that never eXhausts the material
when intelligently prosecuted. 1t is
an independent industry that is new
err affected by panic, and does not
thrive at the expense of others. Il
is the necessary industry. We cannot
get on without food supplies. Ev-
cry form of human activity rests back
upon the farmer and the land he tills.
