TALKING ABOUT US
A town without a newspaper
issurley a dead one and tbe
business men of Duke found
that to be a trusim Less than a
year sgo the Duke Times sus-
pended publication and the
plant was moved to Tipton
where the editor and publisher
of the Times lsuched the Tipton
Tribune He wss forced to quit
at Duke on account of lack of
support on the part of the busi-
ness men of that town It did
not take long for businessmen to
realize that they had made a
very grave mistake in allowing
the printing p'ant to move
avay and a movement was
started to get another news-
paper for the town
The business men felt the
need of a paper so keenly that
they raised several hundred
dollars and purchased a news-
paper plant and have hired the
former publisher of the Times
W R Thurman to run the
paper for them In addition' to
buying a newspaper plant and
hiring a man to run it the bus
iness men have also subscribed
for several hundred subscrip
tions to be sent to people living
in the more remote localities
from Duke but who nevertheless
can be induced to trade in Duke
The first issue of the new
paper at Duke appeared last
Thursday and it starts off with
four 7-column pages It isn’t
necessary to dwell on the typo-
graphical appearance of the new
paper which will be known as
the Jatkson County Tribune or
of the quality of news it con tians
sufficint to say that WR Thur-
man is at the helm and if he is
given the sort of encouragement
he should have from the business
interests of Duke he will give
them a newspaper that will be a
real factor in attracting trade to
that town and in creating a
favorable impression of the town
wherver it is read
We thank the Pest-Herald for
the above compliment The ed-
itor of the Post-Herald has been
in the newspaper business a good
many years and besides being a
good newspaper man he is also a
capable judge of good printing
It is a pity that he is located in
a town like Hollis where his ef
forts to render a service are so
poorly appreciated The Hull's
Post-Herald would do credit to a
much better town than Hollis
and but few editors would de
vote their time to the work and
render the service that Editor
White is rendering with the kind
of co operation he receives
Hollis is peculiarly situated
and the fact that her merchants
are among the poorest alver
tisers in the state is something
that puzzles most newspaper
men Surrounded as she is with
a good farming country and
given up to be one of the best
trading points in
