Cabell Record

Newspaper Established

    It was during the eighties that the town had its first newspaper, the "Milton Star," which was first established by a man named Davis.  After a short time it was taken over by M. M. Ballentine, who published the paper for several years.  The printing office was located on the second floor of the frame building adjoining the old Bowles corner.

    In January, 1898 "The Cabell Record" was established by Jas. R. Dudley.  At first it was a three-column paper printed on a hand press.  The business expanded until it finally became a seven-column publication.  For a while Mr. Dudley printed his paper in his home but afterwards rented a separate building.  In 1905 he erected an up-to-date building which he furnished with the latest equipment.  He died in 1908.  Following his death his paper passed into other hands, and for a time it suspended publication.

These are Old Newspaper Stories and Pictures found in the Old Cabell Record newspaper archives.
