can be seen. interesting now because ol
their strangeness 70 present day customs
Some OF the events are almost amusing
TO. the present-day reader, but at the
lime they happened they were events
Importance to the community and were
long to be remembered. Some Of these
event. marked the beginning Of develop
ment along certain line, and they were
marked with ceremonies and celebra-
lions. Today we look upon the institu-
lions and activities which were begun
in the early days and take them for
granted. Each one of them had to have
4 beginning and these beginnings are all
recorded in the early history Of Boone
County.
On the twenty-third Of April, 1919, the
FIRST newspaper in the county was esiab-
iished. II was the Missouri lntelligen-
Ger, published at Franklin, town which
used to be the most important place in
Boone County. Ii was situated on the
north bank Of the Missouri River direct
iy opposite Boonyille.
Today there is no town iaere. The
newspaper has been out Of existence
since 1885. The paper was sheet Is
by "a inches and was printed on an old
Ramage press. a wooden contriyance
which is today a curiosity. Today the
papers flies are the sources of much Of
the early history of Boone County.
Another event which TOOK place in
1919 was the arrival at Franklin of the
first steamboat which had ever ascend
ed the Missouri River. This event
caused the widest excitement and the
greatest joy among the people" 1t
proved that the Missouri could be navi-
gated and marked the beginning of the
great period Of steamboat navigation on
the river which fourished until the rail-
roads caused its decline. II, took that
boat thirteen days to go from St. Louis
TO Franklin.
In 1882. Washington Irving visited
Columbia. He was ON a journey and
merely passed day here. To quote the |
