Ada Weekly Democrat lists editors Grigsby and Norrell with Byron Norrell Capt Jack Mills and Miles Grigsby as business manager. Publication at Ada Oklahoma weekly Friday edition. Subscription one dollar yearly and legal post office entry as second class matter under the 1879 act.
The poem captures newsroom chaos as printers hustle toward press day with frantic cursing, ink spills, and a stubborn galley. An office dog yelps, a dutchman shifts, and a date mix up delays the run while a Senate House clash echoes student bickering.
CAPT. JACK MILLS recalls Christmas past with the newsroom crew, describing a wagon ride, farmhouse gatherings, old fiddles, and lively dances. The piece contrasts nostalgic, carefree celebrations with the rush to publish the day’s issue.
