Small-town newspapers were an important part of business and communication for local citizens. In 1875, the Carroll County Advocate became the first paper to be published in Berryville (Carroll County). It was soon followed by others, including the Carroll County Progress in 1879. Editor J. D. Hailey (right) is shown here working in his office over the Carroll County Bank in Berryville in 1898.
