A REVIEW
This' is the first issue of the one
hundred and fourth volume of The
Union-Recorder, end as this paper
titers upon a new year, 1 feel
polled to review the past, and re
call some facts relative to my con
nection with it.
The Southern Recorder was or
ganised in 1819.
The Federal Union in 1829.
The two papers were consolidated
in 1872.
My father, the late Mr. Jere N.
Moore, commenced work in the Fed
eral Union office a few days before
he was twelve years of mge, and at
the time of his death had Leon one
of the owners, editors and publish
ers of The Union Recorder for a
long number of years. Under Kv
guiding hand the paper was held at
a high standard, and was a potent
influence in promoting the welfare
and interest of the people of this
•immunity. During these years it
had a wide reputation as a public
journaL
The first recollections of my youth
center around The Union-Recorder
-ffice, and I teamed to stick type
>nd pull the Washington hand pres;
y the time I had entered my teens,
'evcral years before I reached my
majority I went to work regularly
n (he office, and assisted in the
mechanical, business and reportorial
lepartments.
The year I reached my twenty-
first birthday my father associated
'me with him as editor and publish
er, and my name has been at the
mast head practically ever since.
Thus I for the past half century
have had a part in printing end
publishing The Union-Recorder.
These years have brought many
changes in the newspaper and print
ing business, the type setting mi
chine has been invented; electric
power has come into use. the faces
of type have changed, improved
presses have been manufactured. To
keep step with the progress year af
ter year, has required the invest
ment of large sum* of money.
So much for the past.

my son, Jere N. Moore, in publish-

in many respects. I am giving my

high standard it has held durint thq

this country is undergoing a great
change, and, of course The Union-
Recorder, will be effected by it-

I am looking hopefully to the fu

I have realized that my lot ha."
been cast in pleasant places, as y-ar

to perform the duties that have
devolved upon me, for the merchants,
business and profeslsonal men, and
the institutions' located here have
patronized the advertising and job
