The Star-State Patriot, published by Witherspoon and edited by Howard Burnside, 1848. It was a very handsome appearing, well conducted paper. Burnside was a graduate of Kenyon College, Ohio, possessing considerable talent, and a graceful writer. He died at Marshall. The Southern Pacific, a railroad paper, edited mainly by Josiah Marshall, in 1854-5; A. T. Smith, business manager. The Harrison Flag, established by Captain J. W. Barrett in 1856, and published in 1857-8-9-'60, and until his death—a Whig and American journal conducted with great ability by as chivalrous a gentleman and as true a friend as ever lived. After the War, The Harrison Flag was revived by Captain G. W. Barrett, son of its founder, and continued till 1872. The Texas Republican, established in 1849 by T. A. and Frank J. Patillo, father and son, a strict construction Democratic paper. After a few issues, T. A. Patillo disposed of his half-interest to R. W. Loughery. Platillo & Loughery continued the paper for two years when F. J. Patillo sold his interest to R. W. Loughery. In 1868 The Republican was consolidated with The Jefferson Times. The name was given in honor of the Republic of Texas and the Republican principles of the Jefferson school. It was always ably edited and neatly executed.
