OLD NEWS - A regular Progress reader found a 136-year-old newspaper while spring cleaning and brought it by our office to share. It is The Jasper News
from its second year. Below is a copy of the front page. Documentation is sporadic from those early days and it is unclear how long this newspaper was
around or what happened to it. The Jasper News was first published in 1884 by the Rhyne Brothers. There was also another newspaper in town at that time
named The Mountain Boys which was first published in 1884 by T.B. Heard. The Progress was first published in 1887 by the Edge family. As with any 136
year old newspaper, some of the type is difficult to make out but we hope you enjoy the glimpse of the past.

MAKING THE LIVESOF OTHERS
RITTER.
JFith a large portion of our race
life is a hard struggle. Its whole
course is tbiefcjy set with trouble. The
soil from which the elements of bodily
subsidence are to be won by toil, often
yields scanty crops to the in >et dili
gent culture. U he plant which bus
been nurtured almost into fruit bearing
often withers uwu\ beneath the sun’s
fierce heat, or is swept iiwuy the torna
do's blast. Cold ni| a the opnii.g bud
Worms destroy the roots and birds unr-
«ry away tho open grain. With all the*
disfavoring circumstances does inun
have to contend in L ; « struggle for a
subsistence, but by more iL#n by
blasting winds or submerging floods or
barren soils, or devoueriug insocts, is
his life embittered by the pushing,
crowding, selfish rivalry of his fellow
.men* The eo/dinhumunity of his fellow
