schools of Iowa. In 1876 he purchased a small job press, with which he did local work in Western Star, Summit County, Ohio, and the following year came to Cedar County, Mo., with his parents, and in the fall of 1878 commenced as a journeyman on newspaper work in a printing office.

In December, 1886, he went to Stock- ton, and on the 30th of the same month issued the first copy of the Cedar County Republican, of which he has since been editor and publisher, but also retains his interest in the Uncle Sam. Mr. Phipps is an able newspaper man, and from the columns of his paper interesting and valuable information can always be obtained. He is a stanch Republican, being chairman of the Republican County Executive Committee, and is Noble Grand in the I. O. O. F. In March, 1878, he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah J. Conyers, who was born in Illinois, and by her has an interesting family of four children: Gracie M., Rollin B., Annie M. and William H.
