"Richardson-De Priest Family" (8vo, 50 pp.); gave val- uable assistance to Bishop Peterkin in the preparation of "A History and Record of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of West Virginia" (8vo, 876 pp., 1902). Dr. Roller is a brother of Gen. John E. Roller, of Harrisonburg.
Salyards, Joseph (1808-1885): Scholar, teacher, philoso- pher, poet; writer of prose and verse; in 1874 his chief work, "Idothea; or, The Divine Image" (16 mo, 308 pp.), was pub- lished by Henkel, Calvert & Co., New Market .- See pages 288-292, above.
Showalter, William Joseph: Journalist and author; born near Dale Enterprise, July 10, 1878; present address, Wash- ington City. For a number of years Mr. Showalter has been one of the best known syndicate writers of the national cap- ital. His schooling was received at Bridgewater, Mt. Clinton, and other places in Rockingham, and his first experience in newspaper work in Harrisonburg. His great book, "The American Government" (1911), written for F. J. Haskin, is attracting unusual attention. His articles on the Panama Canal are regarded as among the best, if not the best, published. One appeared in the National Geographic Magazine for Feb- ruary, 1912. Mr. Showalter is now publishing a large volume on the Panama Canal. His reputation is becoming not only national, but international.

At Harrisonburg he was associated with his brother, J. H. Wartmann, in the publication of the Rockingham Register. For twenty years (1861-1881), perhaps longer, he was a frequent contributor to the Register, under the pseudonym of "Jona- than Sykes of Zekelville." A really fine wit was sharpened by a facile pen. His writings were a feature of the paper. More is given concerning him in Chapter 18.

B. A LIST OF PERIODICALS.
From 1818 to 1820, etc., Ananias Davidson had a printing establishment in Harrisonburg. In 1818 he printed a second edition of "The Mountaineer" (16mo, 240 pp.); in 1820 he printed the "Life and Labors of Rev. Benj. Abbott" (16 mo, 292 pp.), for James A. Dillworth;3 and it is said that he was printing the "Kentucky Harmony" and other musical works about 1821.4
1822-Rockingham Weekly Register-Harrisonburg; first issue, Saturday, July 27; 4 pages, each 10}x17 inches; Lawrence Wartmann, printer and publisher; Lawrence Wartmann was still the publisher in 1838; in 1841 Wart- mann, Way, & Wartmann were the publishers. There were 86 subscribers at the start; in October, 1874, Jacob D. Wil- liamson of Rockingham had been a subscriber 52 years, and was the only one of the original subscribers then living. In 1841 the size of the paper was 16x21. In 1833 the title was Rockingham Register; in 1842, Rockingham Register and Valley Advertiser; in 1860, Rockingham Register and Advertiser; in 1861 Rockingham Register and Virginia Advertiser; in 1862, Rockingham Register and Advertiser; in 1863, Rockingham Register.

Wartmann & S. M. Yost; in 1867-8, J. H. Wartmann, Hern & Co .; in January, 1868, Giles Devier entered the firm, suc- ceeding Hern and Guiheen; in October, 1875, Giles Devier succeeded J. H. Wartmann & Co .; in 1878 Devier & Dechert were proprietors; in 1883, Devier and John P. Kerr; in 1890, Devier and A. H. Snyder; in 1900 Snyder became sole owner. Since 1903 the paper has been published by the News-Register Co. In 1895 the Register was said to be the fifth newspaper in Virginia in age.
About 1868 Maj. S. M. Yost was connected with the St. Louis Times. In 1897 J. Harvey Wartmann was living in St. Louis.
Adolph Heller Snyder, born in Woodstock, Oct. 22, 1863, died in Harrisonburg, January 18, 1910, shortly after his election to the Virginia House of Delegates. He was a gen- tleman journalist.
Giles Devier was born July 24, 1820, near Bridgewater, son of Allen Devier; he died at Harrisonburg, Sept. 3, 1906, one of the best known citizens of Rockingham.
Lawrence Wartmann, founder of the Register, had first worked at New Market with Ambrose Henkel-probably learned his trade there. He was established at Harrisonburg as early as 1813, since in that year he printed a book con- taining a sermon by Rev. A. B. Davidson.5 In 1849 J. H. Wartmann & Bros. printed a 16mo book of 476 pages, entitled "Sketches on a Tour Through the Northern and Eastern States, The Canadas & Nova Scotia," by J. C. Myers, of New Hope, Va. Funks bound this book.
Mrs. Carr gives the following interesting account of the early Register:
The next building on the N. W. corner of the Main street was a large log house. The first newspaper in Harrisonburg was printed in this building, on the second floor in the S. end. The Editor, Mr. Wart- man, was proprietor, printer, and everything else. I often went to look at him. He had a small folding press on a table in the middle of the room; in either hand he held a leather ball, which was used to ink the

type. Then he placed the dampened paper on the type, and turning over the top of the press, screwed it down tight, until the impression was taken; removed the paper and went on this way until one side of the edition was finished; then he set the type for the other side of the paper, and proceeded in the same way until the whole edition was finished. On Saturday Harvey, his son, about ten years old, would deliver the papers to the subscribers: I do not think there were more than one hundred. New Years some one would write an address for Harvey to deliver to the subscribers, and receive a small amount of money from them. I have so often looked at the patient old man, going through his work so systematically, and thought it [a very grand thing to be a newspaper publisher. If his spirit could visit a steam printing office and see the hundreds of thousands of papers turned out daily, it would make his hair stand on end.
1844-The Republican-Harrisonburg; first issue about June 18; published every Tuesday morning by W. S. Ward; office, opposite Pollock's Hotel, Main St. (from No. 6, Vol. I, July 23, 1844) ; 4 pages; in January, 1847, Maupin & Gilmer were publishers; seems to have been running in 1854.
1854-Valley Democrat-Harrisonburg; in the Register of May 27, Samuel T. Walker and Samuel M. Sommers an- nounce that they will remove the office of the Valley Democrat from New Market to Harrisonburg soon; in 1859 Walker & Bridegame were publishing the said paper at Harrisonburg.
Col. S. T. Walker was killed at Chancellorsville, May 3, 1863 (see p. 138).
1859-The Southern Musical Advocate and Singer's Friend -Mountain Valley (Singer's Glen) ; monthly magazine; first issue, July; Joseph Funk & Sons, publishers; continued till March, 1861; resumed for a year or so in 1867; Aldine S. Kieffer and Wm. S. Rohr were editors in January, 1868.
The Funk printery and bindery were busy from the first. In 1848 "Sturm's Reflections, " an octavo of 490 pages, bound in leather, was published. In 1850 was bound the second edition of Kercheval's History of the Valley of Virginia. In 1853 "Dialogues of Devils" (Vol. I, 16mo, 336 pp.) was given to the public by Andrew Hess and Henry A. Showalter, through the Funk press. The "Harmonia Sacra" had reached the 10th edition by 1860; in 1872 the firm brought out the 6th
