Practically nothing was accomplished by this company toward the construction of the extensive railroad system so confidently pro- jected. Up to December, 1878, only 16 miles (in Mississippi) had been completed and about 612 miles more graded. During 1879 the length of the completed road was in- creased to 30 miles. In 1886 the company defaulted in paying interest on its bonds. Foreclosure proceedings were instituted, and Ben Wilson, of Memphis, was appointed re- ceiver in December. Under the direction of the court, he began surveys early in 1887 for an extension to Yazoo City.
In 1888 charters were obtained in Ala- bama and Mississippi for a new company under the name of the Mobile, Hattiesburg & Jackson Railroad Co. In 1889 this com- pany was consolidated with the old Mobile & Northwestern as the Mobile, Jackson & Kan- sas City Railroad Co. During the next year, preliminary surveys were made for extensions of the road but no construction was done
until the latter part of December, 1896, when the Gulf City Construction Co., organized for the purpose, took hold of the work and pushed it rapidly. In February, 1898, 50 miles of track was completed, from Mobile to the Pascagoula River, and was opened for traffic on April 15. In February, 1902, an extension to Hattiesburg was opened. In 1908 the Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City was consolidated with the Gulf & Chicago Rail- way Co., of Mississippi, under the name of the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago Railroad Co., the existing company, whose organiza- tion was perfected December 1, 1909, having acquired the property of the constituent com- panies at foreclosure sale August 23, 1909, of the road but no construction was done in pursuance of the plan of consolidation.
In 1911 the new company purchased about 19 acres of real estate in the city of Mobile for the establishment of terminal facilities. Franchises to build, maintain and operate tracks across and along the streets within the territory acquired, and to erect freight and passenger buildings, were granted by the city. The new terminals were put in service December 1, 1911.
On November 17, it was officially an- nounced that the Louisville & Nashville and the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad com- panies had purchased jointly the control- ling Interest in the capital stock of this com- pany, and that a connection between a point on the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago north of Mobile and a point on the Louisville & Nashville between New Orleans and Mobile would be constructed, which would make the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago a link in a short line between Chicago and New Orleans.
On December 19, 1913, upon application of the Metropolitan Trust Co. of New York, the Federal Court at Mobile placed the road and other property of the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago Railroad Co. in the hands of Pres. William F. Owen as receiver.

Among the earliest settlers were Absolom C. Hardin, Patrick May, and John Nelson.

NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS. One of, if not the first paper printed in what is now the limits of the State of Alabama, was issued at Fort Stoddert May 23, 1811. It was four pages of four columns each. The subscription was $4.00 a year. Miller and Hood were the publishers, and though it was called the Mo- bile Centinel, it was printed at Fort Stoddert, because Mobile at that date was on Spanish Territory.
In 1815 G. B. Cotton, founded the Mobile Gazette and Advertiser. It was in existence for more than four years, but it is not known how much longer as it later became the Ga- zette. Samuel Miller, the partner of Hood, who established the old Mobile Centinel, was pub- lishing a paper at Blakley, in 1818.
Thomas Eastin, the first State printer, a vet- eran of the War of 1812, a Quartermaster in Andrew Jackson's Army, a citizen of Nash- ville, while at Mount Vernon in 1815, noticed a damaged printing press, and a quantity of materials piled in the streets of that town, and immediately purchased it. He carried the outfit to St. Stephens, and got out a copy of his paper, which he called The Halcyon, just in time to publish the treaty of peace with Great Britain. This was in 1815.
The Mobile Register acquired by purchase in 1823, the Mobile Gazette. The Register was founded in 1821, therefore by this absorption of the Gazette, the continuous history of the Mobile Register dates from 1815. The Register was established by Jonathan Battelle and John W. Townsend, shows the first issue dated De- cember 10, 1821. Battelle was the first editor. Townsend the second editor, he assumed the sole management of the paper on the death of his partner on November 2, 1824. Thaddeus Sanford, John Forsyth, Thaddeus Sanford, A. B. Meek, John Forsyth, Theodore O'Hara, John Forsyth, Colonel William D. Mann, Isaac Donavan, John Forsyth, Joseph Hodgson, suc- ceeded in 1893 by Erwin Craighead, have been successive editors of this paper.
The Montgomery Advertiser, founded 1828, The Moulton Advertiser founded 1828, The Selma Times-Journal, founded as the Selma Times 1825, The Talladega Reporter, founded on May 16, 1843, by the consolidation of the Alabama Reporter, the Watchtower, and the News, the
Tuscumbia Alabamion-Dispatch founded in 1831, the Troy Messenger, 1866, the Union Springs Herald 1866, Tuskegee News, 1865, and the Russell Register (Seale) 1875, are the oldest papers in the State, which have had a continuous existence from their organi- zation. The Huntsville Republican established, 1816, name later changed to Alabama Republi- can, September 15, 1820, and succeeded by the
Southern Advocate and Huntsville Advertiser. May 6, 1825, appears to be the oldest paper in the Tennessee Valley. The Democrat, founded in Huntsville, is another early paper for that section, but neither one are now in existence. The Jacksonville Republican, founded in Jack- sonville, Calhoun County, prior to 1837, con- tinued publication through 1893. The Florence Register and Public Advertiser, established in that town during the early part of 1825, was followed by the Enquirer in 1840.
The Alabama Sentinel hegan publication in Greensboro, Hale County, in 1832. The Ala- bama Journal, Montgomery, founded in the late 20's continued in existence, as the State Journal, until after 1874. The Clark County Post, began publication at Suggsville, in April, 1836. The Democrat Watchtower was being published in Talladega in 1840. The Patriot, established in 1838, and the Southern Register established August 7,1834, had preceded the es- tablishment of the Watchtower. The Alabama State Intelligencer, began publication at Tus- caloosa, April 10, 1829. The State Rights Ex- positor and Spirit of the Press, and the Flag of the Union were in existence there in 1823. The Independent Monitor, established in 1836, was succeeded by the Tuscaloosa Blade on September 5, 1872. The Franklin Advertiser, established at Tuscumbia in August of the same year. The North Alabamian was established shortly after this, and the Alabamian-Dispatch is still in existence. The Wetumpka Argus and Commercial Advertiser established in We- tumpka in March, 1835, was succeeded by the Wetumpka Argus February 12, 1840. The Cour- ier, The Alabama Times, The Southern Crisis, were other weekly papers in existence there in 1840.
College Periodicals .- At the several schools of higher learning in the State, are published student periodicals, but none are now being published, which show a long continuous ex- istence, with the possible exception of the Orange and Blue at Auburn, and the Crimson and White at the University. The Crimson and White dates from January 11, 1894, and the Orange and Blue about the same time. The Auburn Alumnus, and the Alumni News (Uni- versity) are publications issued by the Alumni Association of the two State institutions. Neither were established until later years.
College periodicals are now published at Judson College, Marion; Marion Institute, Marion; Woman's College, Montgomery; How- ard College, Birmingham; Birmingham-South- ern, Birmingham ; Athens College, Athens; Spring Hill College, Spring Hill, St. Bernard College, Cullman; Talladega College (negro) ; Tuskegee Institute (negro); Negro A. & M., Normal; Oakwood Bulletin (negro), Huntsville.
Church Periodicals .- The Alabama Chris- tian Advocate, established May 25, 1881, the Alabama Baptist established in 1874, hy a con- solidation of the Baptist Evangel, The Baptist Herald, the Southern Baptist, and the Ala- bama Baptist, are the two leading Protestant Church periodicals, in the State, which have shown a continuous existence from the date of organization. The Alabama Baptist Advo- cate established about 1843, on July 31, 1850

HISTORY OF ALABAMA
became the South Western Baptist continuing its existence through 1865. It was established at Marion in Perry County, began publication at Montgomery in 1852 and at Tuskegee in 1854.
Farm and Home Life Periodicals .- In 1845 the Alabama Planter was projected by Wesley W. McGuire. It ceased as a paper of this char- acter on the change of name March 30, 1851, to the Alabama Tribune. Other early farm papers were the Alabama Farm Journal, Montgomery, The American Cotton Planter, Montgomery, The Rural Alabamian, Mobile, and the South- ern Plantation, Montgomery.
The Educational Exchange, a monthly, estab- lished in 1885, is still published in Birming- ham. The Labor Advocate, established Janu- ary, 1890, is still published in Birmingham.
Several of the smaller Prep Schools, through- out the State, are issuing monthly journals, but their continuity is not regular, and no complete files of these periodicals are to be had.
The Alabama State Board of Education, en- dorsed the Alabama School Journal, making it the official publication of the Board, by an Act of 1872. Mr. Joel White of Montgomery suggested the publication of this journal, and issued it for some years.
Fraternal Periodicals .- The Alabama Odd Fellow, established at Montgomery, June, 1898,
and later published from Cullman, is possibly the oldest fraternal periodical of long continu- ity in the State. It was started by Jacob Pepperman, and edited by him until May, 1913, when it went into the hands of F. J. Cramton. During 1901 and 1902, the Knight and Odd Fellow, was published by Mr. Pepperman, but on January, 1904, the name was changed to the Southern Odd Fellow, which name continued until its suspension a few years since. The original name was changed in January, 1901, to the Progressive Odd Fellow.
Alabama Newspapers and Periodicals, 1920. -The list below includes the titles of all newspapers and periodicals of every character, printed or published in the State of Alabama, January 1, 1920, so far as information has been obtainable. The arrangement is alpha- betical.
As far as possible the date of establish- ment, size, both in inches and columns, sub- scription price, day of week and periodicity of issue and political complexion, are given.
Doubtless some papers have escaped, al- though diligent inquiry has been made to dis- cover all now being published. The informa- tion is largely from Ayer's Newspaper Annual for 1920.
