“Madison
Watchman was the first newspaper published
in Madison. It was founded by Charles
Reed in January 1885. The next year
J.E. Kribs became editor and changed the
name to “The Advanced.” The first
edition was printed on a hand press where
the type was inked each time that it was
used. Henry Wade got the first paper
that came off the press.
M.A.
Leftwich purchased the paper and changed
the name to “Madison Times.” After
a few months, he sold it to Margaret and
Nora Waller, and Cyde Eubank who edited
the paper from 1900-1909. Clyde and
Waller Eubank later became owners and
editors for a number of years.”
