Getting a look at the first daily issue of the Herald-Citizen, published May 1, 1969, are, from left, Ralph Wirt, who, as a boy of 14, helped his father, Elmer L. Wirt, publish the first edition of the Herald on Feb. 11, 1903; John R. Spicer, H-C publisher; Mayor Bobby Davis; and Alice Keith Ford, H-C society editor. A Sunday edition was added in August 1979.

Elmer L. Wirt was the first editor and publisher of the Putnam County Herald in February 1903. He moved to Cookeville with his family from Minnesota in 1894.

A young Ralph Wirt, son of Herald-Citizen founder Elmer Wirt, types on a linotype machine to produce an issue of the Putnam County Herald. The linotype, a machine once used to produce printing type, was patented in 1886. A solid line of type is called a slug, which had raised letters on its face. The linotype keyboard resembles a typewriter.

Herald-Citizen/110

110 years old and new every day By AMY DAVIS

H-C Timeline

HERALD-CITIZEN Staff

COOKEVILLE — “Will our friends please report any items of news they may know? Is there anyone visiting at your home? Have any of your folks been away during the week? “In short, what are you going to do? The editor is too busy to get around and see you all, so please hand him the news.” So wrote Elmer Lincoln Wirt in the first edition of his newspaper, the Putnam County Herald, published Feb. 11, 1903. The words were set among many short news stories — everything from men who had conducted their business in town that week to an 8-year-old who had broken his arm — all within four columns of gray text with no big headlines or photos to distinguish any particular story. One had to read closely to learn that Rev. G.W. Nackles had gone to Nashville on Monday to “be present when the senate knocks out Putnam County’s only saloon.” Or to be informed that Wm. C.F. Bussell of Hudgens had been granted an increase in his pension — “now getting $17 a month.” And no doubt, members of the community were interested to know that “a party of young folks enjoyed themselves immensely Saturday night” as guests of a Miss Willie. And, just as Mr. Wirt made that plea to his readers those many years ago to share the news they felt was meaningful to the community — a plea that was answered in abundance in the years to come — the same holds true for the Herald-Citizen today. When we asked you, our readers, to join us in celebrating our 110th anniversary by contributing old photos for a commemorative edition, your response was overwhelming. So overwhelming, in fact, that we were unable to publish them all in this one section — which means if you don’t see your photos in today’s H-C, please keep looking for them in our ’Way Back When column that runs in our Sunday Living section.

A day of life in a Cookeville long gone is captured in this image from the early 1940s. Notice the downtown businesses, which include Fox Cafe, Ideal Barber Shop and Dry Cleaners and, in back, Harding Studio.

It is our hope that what you now hold in your hands will take you back to a cherished memory or offer a history lesson. Please, look closely at the faces you see in these dull, gray photos — really see them and think about what life was like back then. About where they were off to once the image was captured and their days continued to march forward in full color. And look at the buildings. Imagine yourself walking past them, looking inside a restaurant, perhaps. What would you see? Would you see someone leaning over a counter, poring over that day’s issue of the Herald-Citizen? I’m betting you would. After all, we at the H-C have been with our readers through it all, keeping you informed and connected with the rest of

the community. Wiring you into an everchanging Upper Cumberland. Reporting your news as best we can. Just like Elmer Wirt set out to do in that long-ago winter of 1903. Wirt, a Minnesotan born in 1863 who had moved to Cookeville with his family in 1894, worked alongside his teenaged son, Ralph, with no fancy computers and printing presses to speed the process along from his small printing shop on the west side of the Cookeville Courthouse Square. Instead, story text was set by hand one letter at a time in a bed of type that was inked by a hand-held roller. Then, single sheets of paper were placed on top of the type, producing the first Herald. It may not have been the county’s first newspaper — at least five had sprung up before disappearing, the first known being the Cookeville Times from 1857 to

1862 — but it has proven to be the longest-running with more than a century to boast of, having added “Citizen” to its nameplate in 1969 following a merge with The Cookeville Citizen. Looking back to Wirt’s editorial from that first issue in 1903, he assures readers that the mission of the Herald was “not to perform wonders for the community nor to save the country.” Neither did it purpose to “rip, snort and paw up the earth generally” or make “bombastic promises.” But what it did intend to do was “be candid and fearless in its discussion of public events” and “never knowingly and unjustly wound the feelings of any fellow man.” The paper would also “do what it can in its humble way to build up the schools and churches of the community, foster every legitimate business enterprise and
