'I*he following is taken from the Annals of Newberry, published in 1S93: ''I may say that tlv newspapers oi the county have always been equal in merit and ability to any published in CLliJ \.kS Ik xl I \ 111 UU1U. JL v?L ? V of them with names of editors and publishers, prep:r<\l by Mr. R. H. Greneker, Sr., who, himself, has labored for many years in that field, and is. a graceful and pleasant writer. "Newberry was without il: e ligi : of j the Press 'until 1840, when Mr. James H. Giles began the publication of the Newberry Sentinel, with Gen. A. C. Carlingtdn as associate editor during the last two years that he published , the paper. It was afterwards sold to! James M. Crosson and Thomas P. Slider, who disposed of it to Jos. S. Reid, j then publishing the Weekly NewberTian, which was started in 1852. Mr. j Reid carried out the contracts of the Sentinel and discontinued it in 1853. j He th'sn changed the Xewberrian to the Mirror. In 1854 the Mirror was made a triweeJfly, and a year afterwards Gen. A. C. Garlington was associate editor. In j 3856 the Mirror was sold to Capt. Wm. j P. Nance and John C. McLemore, and j tfie name or tne paper cnang^a 10 uie j C-onsematist. This paper passed into of the possession of Col. James D. Nance and Silas Johnstone, Esq. Soon after the beginning of the war Col. Nance volunteered and went with the J army to Virginia, the paper was dis- j continued and its publication never resumed, Col. Xance having been killed during the war. Jin the year 1855 Thos. P. Slider Illuminated the land with the rays of the Rising Sun, and latbr associated Thos. F. Greneker with him in the i j , I Easiness. Mr. Slider afterwards soldj: Ills interest to R. H. Greneker, who continued it in a diminished size until the close of the war, when it was published for a short while as a tri- j Weekly under the name of the New-i berry Herald. The tri-weekly was dis- j continued and the paper published for a Jong time by Messrs. T. F. and R. H. Greneker. In 1873 the junior partner withdrew from the paper and Thos. F. Greneker, the nestor of the, Newberry press, continued its publication until failing health caused his retirement in 1885. During his sole Ownership of the paper, he had as aoeiated with him at different times j Ira B. Jones, W. H. Wallace, the pres- \ ?nt editor the Observer, G. B. Crom- j er, G. G. Sale and Elbert H. Aull. Mr. Wallace served 011 the paper for aj onsiderauble length of time. "On the 14th of February, 1873, Thos.: I P. Slider began the publication of the | Progressive Age, a paper devoted j principally to the development of the county. It was soon afterwards purchased by R. H. Greneker, and chang- j ing the character somewhat the paper as devoted to ethics in journalism.
