BIBLIOGRAPHICAL LIST OF THE NEWSPAPERS Van Choate soon retired from partnership and a larger press was needed as the paper rapidly increased its circulation. The paper was an independent in politics and prospered until the American Party became a threat in 1855. The paper was then sold to J. Lytle Cummins, who acted as the representative of Mr. A’Neal, H. G. Ferris, D. D. Colton and J. Tyson. The paper’s name was changed to the Union. Union — Outgrowth of the Mountain Herald. A. A’Neal, one of the purchaser owners, severed his connection when it became Democratic. He even began a law suit to kill the change in politics, but the jury “hung” and he never renewed his suit. Under the direction of Tyson and Company the paper flourished. The editors were George Freaner, J. D. Turner and Calvin McDonald. In 1858 H. H. Brown and J. Tyson were editors. In 1859 it was published as a tri-weekly, with George Price as editor. H. K. White and Robert Tilden took over, and were followed by A. J. Starling as publisher in 1860. From 18611864 White, and later, for short periods, William Page, George Hackett and M. D. Houck were associated with it. In 1867 it was published by William Irvin, and 1878 by John Bird. [ 69 ]
