In DEMOCRAT TO DURHN


The partnership of James E. Tor
bert and Raymond Durbin has been
mutually dissolved, the latter hav-
ing purchased the interest of the
former in the Morgan County Demo

In August. 1909, Tannehill Bros.
sold the paper to Torbert & Durbin,
and both were then actively con-
nected with the running and pub
fishing of the paper till in May,
1917, when Mr. Torbert moved away
from the county, since which time
Mr.. Durbin has had the entire man.
agement, and Mr.. Torbert has had
no connection with the publishing OF
the paper, or of its policies. How
ever he retained his financial inter-
est. Upon leaving this place Mr..
Torbert first located in Oberlin,
then in Salem, next went to New
Kensington, Pa, and for number
of years has been at Sebring where
he is owner of the Sebring Times,
and the job office connected with it..
The Morgan County Democrat
was established in the year 1871 by
the late Frank A. Davis. He sold it
in the year 1886 to J. B. Tannehill
and J. L. Patterson, and in 1892 J..
W. Tannehill purchased Mr.. Patter-
sons interest, and became one of
it's editors. 1t will be noted that
during it's existence the Democrat
has not changed hands often-neith
er editors, it's management nor own
ership.

backwardness and unenlightenment.
They Eave even abandoned the Arabic
alphabet in which the Turkish language
has been written for a thousand years,
and have introduced a Latin alphabet,
thus putting the Turkish language on
par with the language of western
civilization. Turkey is putting her

on sound economic basis; she is un-
dertaking public works, education ana
social reforms without recourse to Tor
eign capital which she thinks enSlaVed
her in the past. 1t takes no little cour-
age to do what Turkey is doing today
without foreign financial assistance.

that Turkey, being a close neighbor OF

bad terms with the present regime In
Russia. The rulers of Turkey claim
That they wish to be at peace with al

ever that may be, there Is reason lot
