A Pair of Veterans.

Valparaiso Star-Vidette: Wm. H. Green, a pioneer newspaper editor of Shelbyville, sends his regards to Judge W. C. Talcott, speaking of the latter’s 88rd birthday anniversary. Bro. Green is 85 and started his paper in 1830 in New Albany. He has now retired and lives with his daughters. Judge Talcott brought the first printing press here in 1843 and “The Republican” was the result. It later became the Western Ranger and then TheVidette.
