History
Founded in 1880 as a Democratic weekly[4] by Howard Templeton,[5] it was acquired in 1891 by D.A. and John Grose.[6][5] John had learned the trade as a printer at the paper.[6] By 1919, it was the only newspaper in the town, and was edited by A. L. Stewart.[6] Stewart owned and edited it until 1921, introducing a number of improvements including motorized printing before moving on to the Braxton Democrat.[5]
In 1956, the paper was sold to two attorneys, Joseph Berzito and Roland Clapperton.[5]
From 1991 to 2002 it was edited by Charles W. Yeager, who increased readership from 4,500 to more than 10,000, making it the largest weekly in the state.[7]
It is currently edited by Raymond W. Corbin.
