Edmund S. Craig, of New Alexandria, and P. M. Hill, of Greensburg, two
of the donors, took the flag to the museum. Jesse E. B. Cunningham,
ex-deputy attorney general and a former Westmoreland County man,
accompanied the pair and presented the relic to Thomas Lynch Montgomery,
State librarian and curator of the museum. The flag is red, with the
coiled rattlesnake and the “Don’t Tread on Me” warning in the center.
_The Weekly 101_, Most Unique Paper.
Robert R. Fitzgerald, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., is the editor of the most
unique newspaper in the world--_The Weekly 101_. It is printed in lead
pencil throughout, though the editions run from eight to twenty pages of
standard newspaper size. The advertisements, illustrations, comic
section--everything about the paper is hand-lettered by the editor, who
prefers to hide himself behind the pseudonym of “Mooney Mingles.”
Fitzgerald is twenty years old, and started his paper more than a year
ago. Two editions are turned out weekly, and, thus far, more than 170
editions have been printed. The regular editions are penciled on white
print paper, but the baseball extra is generally done on paper of a
better quality and known as the “green sheet.” In this supplement the
baseball events of the week are briefly and ably reported.
A special edition was recently turned out to become a part of the
Indiana exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Another special number
was sent to President Wilson, who congratulated the editor upon the
patience and ingenuity necessary to produce such a newspaper.
_The Weekly 101_ is prepared during the editor’s spare hours, and these
are limited, because Fitzgerald works ten hours a day in a local factory
to support his mother and a family of five.
The ambitious young man is anxious to own a real newspaper plant,
because, as he complains, the press he now uses frequently breaks down
through an attack of writer’s cramp.
Those who have received sample pages of the pencil editor’s work say
that the young man seems to be competent to take his place among the
live editors of to-day. Lawrenceburg is already proud of his remarkable
and unique weekly, but the thriving little city will probably be doubly
proud when the young editor launches forth into the regular channels of
newspaper work.
The following paragraph is from one of the sample sheets submitted by
our correspondent:
