  "The Teague Herald, daily and weekly, recently changed hands and is now the 
property of Tilden Childs and J. P. Yantis. Mr. Childs founded the Teague Tribune,
the immediate predecessor of the Herald, but has been out of the business for 
some time building good roads.  Mr. Yantiss, who is the active manager of the 
paper, is an experienced printer and newspaper man, having received his training
in his father's office -- the Athens Review -- and is fully competent to give 
Teague a live paper, which he is doing. We welcome the new proprietors back to
the fold."
