**********************************************************************

Joseph S. Goheen, editor of the "Dallas County Democrat", was born
in Greene County, Ill., May 24, 1855, and at the early age of four-
teen years began learning the printer's trade, serving an apprentice-
ship in the office of the "Register", at White Hall, Ill.  He after-
ward went to Texarkana, Ark., where he worked as a journeyman for a
number of years, and then became foreman in the job printing depart-
ment of the Springfield Herald, with which paper he was connected
for some time.  In the fall of 1888 he came to Buffalo, MO., and took
charge of the "Dallas County Democrat", and became proprietor of the
establishment in January, 1889, and owing to his many years' exper-
ience in the newspaper business and knowledge of political affairs, 
the Democrat has become one of the most flourishing papers of the
county.  It is published in the interests of the Democratic party, 
and is newsy, entertaining and instructive.  In 1878 he was married
to Miss Nettie Light, a native of Macoupin County, Ill., and by her
is the father of three children:  Jo-Nettie, Charles and Harry.
