Shreve, Reed, Bills and Tietsort were captured at Allatoona October 5, 1864. Carson and Waldon were wounded in that famons battle. Mark York died at Resaca, Georgia, May 22, 1864.

John W. Myers enlisted in the Ninth, February 26, 1864.


. David John enlisted in the Twenty-third, Company E, August 16, 1862.

Altogether, Greene County, which had but 1,374 inhabitants in 1860, furnished about 150 men for the army of the Union. Of these scarce a seore are now living. The present population being largely made up of immigrants from Eastern States, there are in the county many old soldiers who enlisted from other States, or from other counties in this State. Altogether, it is estimated that not less than 250 ex-soldiers reside in Greene County, representing more than sixty differ- ent regimental organizations.


The Tenth General Assembly passed a law organizing the militia of the State, in accord- ance with which 917 militia companies were formed, including two from Greene County. But little was done, however, in the way of drilling.

ILAT " the pen is mightier than the sword" is a say- ing so trite that one is almost ashamed to quote it, yet it is worth urging upon the at- tention of nnobservant people that the rapid material progress of humanity in the nineteenth century is due, more than to any other one ageney, to improved facilities of travel and communi- cation. Railroads, mails and newspapers have become necessi- ties to mankind, though many are now living who are older than the oldest railroad, and to whom a daily paper once seemed a useless extravagance. Even now changes are made yearly, and improvements discovered of such moment that the future valne and function of the newspaper cannot yet be estimated.


Types were first used to reproduce only the Bible and such books as were demanded in large numbers. Then came the periodical


and pamphlet. The reviews and magazines increased in number and frequency of publi- cation, and then the weekly newspaper was established, to be supplemented in time by the daily journals. At first only large cities could support papers; now it is a poor village that cannot have one or more, and a small county that has not its half dozen. One of the most important changes in the develop- inent of the country newspaper occurred from 1860 to 1870. Before the former date, home news, locals and correspondence were not considered worth printing, but the reading matter was composed of reprints from the great journals, news from Europe, proceed- ings of Congress, and heavy editorials on national polities. Now these are supplied by the large eity papers, which are brought to every village by those annihilators of dis- tanee, the railroads, and the home paper is largely filled with home news. The best county paper now is the one which gives the most space to town and county news, cor- respondence from every postoffice, and the proceedings of local organizations.

HISTORY OF GREENE COUNTY.


In Greene County to-day are published five newspapers, while halt a dozen more have been issued that are now defunet by change of name or suspension. Generally speaking, the editors have been men of in- telligence and enterprise, while to-day they are among the leading citizens of the county, and their opinions are of influenee among the journalistie profession in Northwestern Iowa.


The first newspaper published in Greene County was the


JEFFERSON STAR,


established in 1859 or 1860, by V. B. Crooks. This was merged, in 1863, into the


JEFFERSON RECORD,


which was published by Wynkoop & Upton first, and afterward by Wynkoop & MeBride. When the Record suspended, the community were without a local paper for a year or two. In 1866 the


JEFFERSON ERA


was established by M. H. & M. L. Money. In 1871 the name was changed to that it bears at present, the


JEFFERSON BEE.


Al. Swalm was proprietor of this for a time, and then J. M. Rhoads was admitted as a partner, and the firm name was made Swalm & Rhoads. In 1874 Rhoads & Alexander succeeded Swalm & Rhoads. Two years later J. M. Rhoads became sole proprietor. The following year, 1877, Rhoads & Gray became the publishers. This partnership existed for six years, when Mr. Rhoads was again left alone. In October, 1884, he sold to E. B. Stillman, the present editor and proprietor. Under his management the Bee has con- tinned to improve in quality and inerease in circulation, and is now one of the leading Republican journals of this region. It is


issued on Thursdays, at $2 a year, and is in size a seven-column quarto.


GREENE COUNTY GAZETTE.


The Greene County Gazette was started in 1879, by Jackson & MeLaury, as a Greenbaek paper. This firm was succeeded by Thorn- burg & MeLaury, and they by C. H. Jackson. Isaac S. Russell leased the office and material from Mr. Jackson and gave to the waiting world the


JEFFERSON CITIZEN,


which suspended in the spring of 1883. C. G. Reynolds soon after started the


JEFFERSON DEMOCRAT,


and ran it a few months until it was deemed unprofitable, after which, in connection with the famous Will S. Kernan, of Okolona (Mississippi) States fame, he issued one number of the


IOWA ADVOCATE.


This did not meet with a particularly cordial reception, and its projectors did not push it. The


IOWA ARGUS


was published at Jefferson from the spring of 1884 to January, 1885, as a Greenback and Labor paper, by J. R. Sovereign, now of the Atlantie Peoples' Advocate.


THE SOUVENIR


was established at Jefferson April 4, 1885, by W. M. Ferguson, as a society paper, four- eolmmnn quarto in size. It was published in that style until the middle of September fol- lowing, when A. M. Head became a partner, and the firm has since been Ferguson & lead. The paper was then enlarged to a six-column quarto in size. It is independent in polities, and is published on Saturdays, at $1 per year.

GRAND JUNCTION HEADLIGHTIT.


In the antumm of 1869, as soon as Grand Junetion was laid out and building had be- gun, the town proprietors arranged with Mills & Co., of Des Moines, to publish a newspaper at this place. Mills & Co. were then State printers, and also publishers of the State Register. They equipped a small office at Grand Junetion, and with the new year, 1870, came before the expectant citi- zens the first number of the Headlight. Two years later S. C. Maynard, who had been for a time manager of the office, purchased the same from Mills & Co. He has been pro- prietor and editor since. The Headlight is in size a seven-column quarto (double that it originally had), and is published on Thurs- days, at $2 per year. It is the only Demo- cratie paper in Greene County, and has an extensive circulation in Greene and Boone counties.


SCRANTON GAZETTE.


The Gazette was established in January, 1875, by W. W. Yarman. In about three years he sold to one Brown, who made it a Greenback paper, but failed a year later. It was a six-column folio. The


SCRANTON JOURNAL


was started in 1879, by 11. O. Beatty. In


October, 1882, he sold to II. G. MeCulloch & Son, and in 1583 F. Il. McCulloch became sole proprietor. February 8, 1884, he sold to P. A. Smith. The Journal has been from the start a Republican paper, in size a five- column quarto. It is issued on Thursdays, at $1.50 a year, and circulates principally in Greene and Carroll counties.


SCRANTON FREE PRESS.


This paper was started September 1, 1886, by M. M. Mahoney, and is a six-column quarto, independent in politics. It is pub- lished on Wednesdays, at $1 a year.


M. M. Mahoney is a son of Thomas and Sarah Mahoney, and is a native of Canada, where he was born in 1859. lle has fol- lowed the "art preservative " in varions places since he was ten years old. lle was married October 15, 1885, to Miss Delia Warner. He is a member of the Christian church.


CHURDAN PAPERS.


The Greene County Clarion was a Demo- eratie paper, started in July, 1885, and pub- lished for nearly a year by S. W. Groves. Ile sold to E. N. Pense and E. Downs July 7, 1886. They changed the name to the Churdan Belle, and published it a few months, when they suspended.

THE BAR.


N the biographical por- tion of this work are given biographies of the present bar, but there are a number who belong to the past- who have come and gone, or died in the county-and these de- serve mention. In their proper order we will allude to the pres- ent as well as the past attorneys. Most of these, of course, were residents of Jefferson.


The first resident attorney was Jackson Orr. He came to Jeffer- son in 1855, the first year of the village's history, and practiced law and dealt in real estate here for six years. In 1861 he went into the service of " Uncle Sam " as Captain of Company Il, Tenth Iowa Volan- teer Infantry. He resigned after two years service, and on his return located at Boone and engaged in mercantile business. lle served two terms in the National House of Representatives, and one term in the State Senate. He is now in Silverton. Colorado. In polities he has always been an active Re- [an active Republican politician.


publican. He was an able man, and well known in the early history of this county.


William Phillips and Robert M. Rippey. both of whom held the office of county judge before the war. were never exactly practicing members of the bar, but were prominent men, and, of course, connected more or less with legal circles.


DAN. MILLS came to the county just after Jackson Orr, from Elkhart, Indiana. Ile practiced continuously till during the war, when he was appointed to a clerkship in Washington. He was satisfied with this but a few months, and then returned to Jefferson, where he was appointed county judge, to which office he had been elected before going to Washington. After the expiration of his term as county judge, he practiced law until his health failed. Hle is yet living at Jeffer- son, but old and infirm. In politics he has been a Republican.


O. R. JONES practiced law three or four years before the war; was then in mercantile business several years, also farming to some extent. He went Sonth, and two or three years ago died in Indian Territory. He was

In 1882 he was the Greenback candidate for Attorney-Gen- eral of the State, and two years later he was the fusion candidate for circuit judge in this district.


I. D. HOWARD, who was for eight years eonnty elerk, was admitted to the bar during that time and has practiced continuonsly since 1869. He is a Republican, and has been one of the leading politicians of Greene County. In 1874 he was appointed by President Grant Register of the Land Offiee for the Del Norte District, comprising the sonthern half ot Colorado; but finding that desolate region too unpleasant to think of asking his family to live there, he resigned in a few weeks.
