The Times was established in 1843 and is the oldest newspaper in Madison county. About three years ago the paper came under the control of H. F. Harrington [left] and R. K. Shaw [right]. Under their management the paper was changed to a six-column page and new features were added in the news department. Mr. Harrington left the firm about March 1, to take a responsible position with the Ohio State Journal, Columbus. Mr. Shaw assumed management of the paper at that time, and the Times has been published under his control ever since.
The Times endeavors to get all the news that is fit to print and to present it in an attractive style. The paper is in sympathy with all efforts that have for their object the civic or moral improvement of the community.
