The Hickman paper is one of the oldest established in this section of the United States and one of the best weeklies published. It is no conducted by Speer Sexton, who have made many improvements in the office. The latest is the linotype machine, the greatest invention of modern newspaperdom. The Courier dates way back to the fifties along with the State Gazette at Dyersburg and Editors George Warren and Tom Neal were two of the best known newspaper men, not only in the local field, but in their respective States. Col.

Neal is retired at his home in Dyersburg, living as an honor to his profession and citizenship. Editor Warren has long ago passed over the Great Divide, revered and esteemed also as a man of parts. Contemporaneous newspaper publishers have felt the weight of their pens and their influence has left, its impress on the profession of to-day. Young men have taken their places, and among them none are making better structures than the editors of the Courier." Creson-Harky Marriage.
