"a Century
Spans Vital
Era Of City
Period of Life of
Daily Dispatch Has
Seen Many G. e a t
Changes Occur i n
Henderson and Vance
County as Progress
Moved On.

p, any ordinary measurement Of
..n,o quarter of century is a long
,,..ad IN the life of an individual,
r, aroan:zation or a business. And
III la~t twenty-five years, since pub
Tration o.. the Daily Dispatch was
bcgIln h 1914, have spanned vital
IA IMPORTANT era for the Henderson
community
IN these two and a half decades,
NON md movements and nations
have come into prominence, have
niaved their little roles and have
declined or vanished into oblivion,
ar been botted out entirely by the
death that is the ultimate and in
evita5le destiny Of people and things.
There have been tragic events, and
al tbn same time miraculous achieve
ment, OF progress in varying direc-
+ions Wthal. it has been segment
of time corr0ded with more than the
usual variety and volume allotted for
like periods
Time and space and keen men,
orr would have to cOllabOrate in
greater harmony than is possible in
this narrow spot to tell an adequate
story 81 what has happened in Hen
derson in the twenty-five years that
have elapsed since the first issue of
the Dispatch was run off on the old
handled cylinder press that long ago
afternoon Of August II, 1914. It car
ried the high spots of the news of a
Europe gone mad, and whose rabid
contagion in three short years was
10 leap an ocean and sweep America
from its ancient mooringS Of isola-
ton and aloofness.
This quarter century began with
the war It saw the slump imme-
diately in its wake come and then
run its course. 1t includes the So
called golden age" Of the 192O's,
climaXed with the great prosperity
period of 1926-27-28, and culminat-
ing in the major depression that be-
gan in 1929 which has not yet Lift
ed its icy clutch of misery, hardship,
suffering and discord. 1t embraces
the decade of revolution, upheaval
and reform in the political, social
and religious life of America and the
world
Despite the difficulties and adver-
sites Of the period, the year 1914
saw the beginning of the greatest
progress in many lines Henderson
has ever known, perhaps more than
IN the other seventy-five years Of its
history combined.
Back there, Henderson had about
two miles Of paved streets. Today
nearly every important thoroughfare
Is an improved roadway.
1t was period of vast building in
he cQmmunity-of homes, churches
ana business blocks. 1t was a time
When the community hurled itself in
10 the greatest modernization move
ment IN its history.
The city and county school sys-
elaS were created and developed, at
laInng in the latter part of the pc
Ilod an enViable rating among the
pest IN the State.

Organization N u M
bers 38 People, In
Guiding Newsboys,
Some With M a n y
Years of Experience
In Newspapering in
State.

Most members of the Dispatch or
ganiZation have rather long records
of service in their connections. One
or two have been with the paper al
most from the beginning, and at least
one has a service record of less than
two months.
A majority of these workers have
had experience in the field in other
localities before coming to Hender-
son, but virtually all are now loyal
and interested citizens of the COM
munity, working each in his or her
own department to produce the best
possible newspaper for the city, the
city and section.
Oldest in point of service is Henry
A. Dennis, who came to the paper in
early January, 1915, five months
after the daily was begun He is the
president of the corporation and
editor Of the Dispatch. After grad
uating at Trinity College (now
Duke) in 1918, he worked for brief
intervals on the Greenville Reflector,
the Raleigh News and Observer and
the Rocky Mount Evening Telegram.
M. L. Finch, a native of Caswel
county, came to the Daily Dispatch in
1921 as advertising and business

Anniversary
Good Wishes
By MIR. Hunt

One of those who have sent good
wishes to the Daily Dispatch on the
occasion of It's silver anniversary
is w. A. Hunt, chairman of the
board of the Citizens Bank & Trust
banking business and with the same
institution in Henderson for more
that forty y-five years, and was one
of the original stockholders of the
company which began publication
Of this newspaper. On this occasion
he has written as follows:
| have read with a great deal of
interest announcement in your pub
lication on Saturday, August IL,
1889, that you had completed
twenty-five years of operation of
your publication in Henderson, N.
c. did not realize that it had been
such long time since the Daily
Dispatch began its publication here
in Henderson, and remember very
kindly association with the late P.
T. Way in the organization ana
operations Of the company.
Along with other citizens in Hen
derson who were associated with
Mr.. Way, | was one of the original
stockholders in the Corporation,
and l did not realize at the time
that your publication would grow
and serve such useful purpose in
this community, or that it would be
such a success in a financial way.
You have served the community
most acceptably and l am glad to
know that you have succeeded be-
yond my expectations, and you
have my best wishes and with the
hopes that you will continue to
grow and prosper and still will be
with us for another 25 years
