of The Herald.

Editor of The Herald
We are glad to congratulate you
as though you had been elected pres
ident. That you were faithful over
few things, we hope that you will
be made ruler over many things. We
wish you a long. life and happy
time. We want to welcome you to a
seat in our home, old friends are
never forgotten with US.
We want to thank you for the
many pieces you have printed for
us, although some of them were
little out of order, but it takes them
all to make world.
We have a good newspaper in our
county seat, known as the Dickinson
County News, good enough for any
body, but the editor refused to pub
fish our Bartlick items, but instead,
inserted political propaganda from
the opposite party and from nom
resident of the State. We just want
the News to know that this is not
the Herald writing. It's Bartlick,
where Brown got five Republican
votes and not HooverDemocrat.
So if anybody wants to kick, do not
kick the Herald, but kick "Dobber"
E. S. Counts.

THE FIRST NEWSPAPER

Can you imagine time when there
were no newspapers? and what is
more can you think Of people who
VIC uld object to reaanig the weekly
news from printed slip nstead from
a written manuscript? In these days
when we are so impatient with folks
who object to what we think is pre-
gress, we must not forget that this
has been a trait of human nature all
through the ages. Read this account
of "The First Newspaper as it APP
peared in The Southern Planter,
September, 1850. .
at is remarkable &at a means of
instruction and amusement so APP
parent as a newspaper should not
have been established until nearly
two hundred years after the discovery
of printing.
"The first newspaper was issued
toward the close of the reign of
James the first, and was published in
London by a man named Butter.
This man had been hired letter
writer in the employ of numerous
country gentlemen. His business
was to pick up the news of Londan
and send a written sheet of it week
ly to his employers. The thought
struck him that he might serve his
customers more quickly, and enlarge
his business indefinitely by printing
instead of writing his sheets. At
first he met with little encourage
ment. The English are not people
fond of innovations, and the old
manuscript letter sheets were gener-
ally preferred. Buffers paper was
laughed at by the wise. Ben John
son made it butt of his ridicule
in his comedy The Staple of News. ;
After some time the invention be-
came better appreciated. and news
papers increased in size, merit and
numbers.
'In 1909 the first morning paper
appeared in London From this time
discussion was combined with news,
Before this the journals had contend
themselves entirely to the narration
of events. More than one editor
had been severely punished for
printing news about the government.
So late as 1910 a lad of nineteen
had been hung for publishing an
article against hereditary right.
Before Butter put his paper on
the market, several Gazettes had
been published in different countries
in Europe. These were not news
papers, they were occasional broad
sheets published only after some
was to pick up the news Lof Don
important event. They were not at
all permanent neither were they pc
riodical in their nature. These two
elements are important for a real
newspaper.
,'The newspaper did not take its
position in the world until the time
of Addison, Steele and Swift. These
men began to write for it; they were
followed by Bollingbroke and, in q
later age, by Junius, then the pub
lie press took lofty position, one
which it has since maintained and
increased.

cided contrast to the unkept
grounds and small structures or
pioneer days.
Development of the rural COM
munities has resulted in rapid de-
velopment Of the consolidated
schools. Many or the districts
which erected consolidated schools
when they we're organized have
been compelled to erect additional
structures to accommodate the rap
idly increasing enrolment.
From the beginning of Valley de-
velopment the efforts Of Valley
leaders have been directed toward
development Of school systems
which would reflect the progressive
spirit Of Valley people. The mag
nificent school plants, unexcelled
facilities for both urban and rural
pupils, and the general interest in
the welfare OF the schools i the
direct result OF this determination
to establish for the Valley a rec
ord of educational achievement
that would not only prove Of great
value to pupils but also would serve
to make this section more attract
i've for that class Of citizen who
recognizes the value Of a school
system that functions efficiently.
