SECOND, 1813 SECTION 103rd AKNIVEESAEIf and ACQUAINTANCE EDITION, THE INDIANA PROGRESS VOLUME 103. SECOND. 1916 SECTION THIS IS OUR OWN PAGE IN THE ANNIVERSARY EDITION The Indiana Progress is acknowl- edege to be the oldest paper in Indi- 'atia county. It lava'claim to this distinction because it is a continuation of The American, which was established in Indiana in 1813 by Jatnes MlcCahan, who, according to local history, was the pioneer newspaper publisher' of the county. At that 'time, when the county seat was a mere village, the publication of a newspaper was wrought with great difficulty and labor.

The office of The American was located on East Philadelphia street, on the A. W. Taylot- property, and while the newspaper was less than two years old the plant was by fire, which was the first real conflagration at the county seat. The 'public was not slow to appreciate the worth of a newspaper even in those early, days of the county, and the liberal contributions that came promptly to the publisher ffiad'e it possible to reestablish the paper within a short time. In 1826 the American was purchased by A.

T. Moorhead and his fath- er, James Moorhead, the. great-grand, father of the present editors of The "Progress, assumed charge of the paper. The "office of The American was then lo-cated on Water street, on the property now' occupied by the residence of Mrs; Jobe. In 1828 James Moorhead retired as editor £nd The American was merged with The Whig, which was established In toy Alexander Taylor and C.

B. Wheelook. plant again changed hands In 1832, when John Taylor became the editor andi proprietor, and for two years he published the paper under the title of Thei Free Press. The newspaper passed again in to the control of the Moorheads in 1834 when William Moorhead assumed the management, and in June of the same year issued the paper, under of The Indiana Register. Later the paper passed 1 into the h'ands of G.

Row and James W. Hill, but in 1852 it again changed hands and for seven was under the 1 management of Jonathan Row. Although edited by the Rows, who able newspaper men, Augustus and George assutoed charge of the plant in 1859 and published the paper for a period of ten years. James Moorhead, the veteran newspaper again entered the field in 1840, when he began the. publication of The Clarion of Freedom, and fearlessly-championed the cause anti-slayery 185 4v the cussion at that' time.

The art of publishing and printing has kept pace with the rapid strides made in the development of the county, and to-day The Progress one of the 'most modern country newspaper plants in the state. The old-style hand composition has been supplanted by the modern Mergenthaler Linotype, and fast presses driven by modern power have shortened the long-drawn-out "press days" to a few hours. Many other modern methods have been installed that have contributed to the growth and development of the paper. The management has endeavored to make The Progress a distinctly county newspaper representative of every locality, and the reading public has not been slow to appreciate its worth. The.

best proof of this assertion is the splendid record that The Progress has made in circulation during recent years. It is the only newspaper in Indiana or adjoining counties that has a paid-in- advance subscription list and its weekly circulation totals over 3,500 copies. It is evident that in Indiana county, at least, The Progress is "the paper the people pay for and read," as it is the only weekly newspaper in this section of the State which strictly adheres to the modern plan of stopping all papers at the expiration of the subscription. The best evidence that the public appreciates the pay-in-advance system is the fact that The Progress has a circulation today equal to that of any other two papers published in the county. This Anniversary Number of The Progress is entirely a product of The Progress office and is an evidence of the possibilities of this newspaper plant.

The magnitude and quality of the big edition is a credit to any modern printing and publishing es- establishment, and this shows that the range of work handled in an up-to-date country plant is almost unlimited. LITTLE THE PROGRESS IN 1827 There was little local news published in the American, (now The Progress) at the time the issue reproduced above, was printed. The greater part of the paper is devoted to lengthy articles clipped from eastern periodicals, selections from the Bible and articles on free masonry, whiph Not content vJtbj-remaih out, '0f the ranks, James well in years organized Independent, which was a' pronounced anti-slavery, ipaper, and after his death in 1857 "his James' and' William 'C its publication until 18 60, -when the. plant was moved to Blairsville.
