Description | The Southern Star, a weekly publication in DeKalb, Mississippi, from 1898 to 1908, provided a window into Kemper County life. Editor and proprietor J.T. Gewin oversaw its four-page issues, which featured a mix of local, national, and world news alongside advertisements and general interest pieces. While the paper initially supported the Populist Party, it likely shifted allegiance to the Democratic Party after the Populist movement waned. In 1908, the Southern Star merged with the Kemper Herald to form the Kemper Herald-Star, continuing its legacy of community reporting under Gewin's guidance. Today, the Kemper County Messenger carries on this tradition in DeKalb. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1900 of this newspaper. |
