"The Nashville Evening News" was started on Broad street by M. S. Combs, who had the entire control of its editorial department until the March following, when Jas. R. Bruce became one of the editors. In Jan. 1853, Mr. Combs sold the paper to Logan Asheley and George R. McKee, and the former became the publisher-G. R. McKee and Jas. R. Bruce, editors.

Haile, who conducted the paper until the following August, when its publication was discontinued and the materials were removed to Tullahoma.
The "Nashville Daily News" was established in the Fall of 1857. It was chiefly devoted to news, and the commercial interests of the city and State. Being a joint stock company, its affairs were managed by a Board of Directors ; Allen A. Hall, editor. In the spring of 1858 the establishment passed into the hands of Don. Cameron, R. H. Barry, Wm. Cameron, and Jas. A. Fisher ; Don. Cameron, principal editor, and Wm. Lellyett, city and commercial editor. In the fall of 1859 the "News" became a political paper, espousing the opposition cause, and Allen A. Hall resumed his connection with it as an editor. J. A. Fisher sold his interest to M. O. Brooks, in February of the present year. The style of the firm is, as it has been, since the purchase alluded to, Cameron & Co.

NASHVILLE CITY AND
The "Daily Evening Bulletin," by T. M. Hughes & Co., existed a few weeks, in 1859.
In January, 1835, a paper was started here called "The Commercial Transcript." It was printed at the office of "The National Banner and Nashville Whig," and was continued until the end of the second volume, when it was merged into the last named paper. It was a small sheet, in quarto form, three columns to the page, and was issued every other Sat- urday, at one dollar per annum, It was printed on minion type, and was devoted chiefly to commercial matters. Numbers of the second volume show that it was published by - White & C. C. Norvell, but whether or not it was started by them, we do not know.
A monthly Magazine called "The Museum," was published in this city by Thos. G. Bradford, in 1809. The only copy known to be in exis- tence is to be found in the library of the Historical Society, and is imper- fect. It was commenced in July, 1809, and the last number in the vol- ume is for December of that year. It seems to have been devoted to poli- tics, literature, and to the history of Tennessee, and contains much mat- ter of value on the last named subject. Each number contained thirty- two pages, octavo-two columns to the page. It was printed on pica type. The subscription price was two dollars a year.
On the 11th of July, 1833, W. Hassell Hunt commenced the publica- tion of a weekly literary journal, called "The Kaleidoscope," which was issned every Thursday, at two dollars per annum. It was printed in quarto form, 7% by 10%, three columns to the page, and printed on long primer type. The latest number, belonging to the Historical Society, is dated July 21, 1834, being No. 50, of vol. 1. How long it was pub- lished, after th's date, is not known.
"The Christian Record " was commenced November 14, 1846, under the patronage of the Presbyterian Synod of West Tennessee. It was edited by Rev. A. H. Kerr, and published by a committee consisting of Rev. Drs. J. T. Edgar, R. A. Lapsley, Prof. Nathan Cross, and Revs. B. B. McMillen, J. M. Arnell, and A. H. Kerr. In October, 1847, Anson Nelson took charge of the paper as publisher, and continued its publica- tion for four years. At the last named date the Editorial Committee con- sisted of Revs. J. T. Kendrick, R. B McMillen, P. A. Hoagman, J. M. Arnell. J. W. Hume, Dr. Harrison and Prof. Cross. The paper for Oc- tober 28, 1848, came out under the name of " The Presbyterian Record," though the former name was continued over the editorial head. This change of name was made by order of the Synod. In the No. for Nov. 3d, 1849, Rev. John T. Edgar, O. B. Hayes, and W. P. Buell are named as the Editorial Committee-Rev. A. E. Thorne, Traveling and Corres- ponding Editor. The last number of "The Record" published in Nash- ville was that for July 5, 1850, at which time it was consolidated with "The Presbyterian Herald, ' at Louisville.

This paper has been generally very ably conducted, and has reached a very large circulation. It is printed in the same excellent manner in which all of the work issuing from the publishing house is uniformly done. An account of this mammoth book concern would be of much in- terest, but space is needed to give the proper particulars. It is sufficient to say that they give constant employment eight power presses, besides & host of other machines for the various purposes connected with printing, binding, &c., &c. The capital of the establishment must be something very large, taking in view the numbers and widely extended infinence of the denomination. It was established in this city in the year 1854, Ste- venson and Owen agents. In 1858 Mr. McFerrin was appointed agent.
