Captain George W. McCranie founded the 'Weekly Telegraph' in Monroe, Ouachita Parish 
beginning in September 1865. In mid-December, he decided to change the name to the 
"Ouachita Telegraph'. The paper continued publication until and the 1890s or later.

Mims, of the Farmerville Record, has no idea of yielding his opposition to Chinese 
immigration. He is now discussing the "problem" with a certain writer whom he calls 
"a one-horse editor named Horace Greeley, who fires his dirty squirt-gun from the 
Sodom of modern times." Horace must take care of himself.

======================================================================================
Note: This newspaper was actually the 'Union Record', but as it was published in 
Farmerville, the editor of the Ouachita Telegraph apparently made the mistake of 
calling it the "Farmerville Record". Apparently Mr. Mims was either the editor or 
editor/owner of the 'Record' in 1869.
