Description | The Daily Soliphone, founded in Paragould, Arkansas, by Ross Coffman and W.P. Adams in 1893, was a unique addition to the local newspaper scene. Adams coined the term "soliphone" by blending Latin and Greek roots, reflecting the newspaper's emphasis on sunlight and communication. However, financial struggles plagued the paper, leading to a mortgage of its equipment to rival W.A.H. McDaniel. Conflict ensued, resulting in McDaniel eventually foreclosing on the mortgage, leaving Adams without a press. With local support, McDaniel revived the paper under new management, but financial strains persisted. Eventually, J.R. Taylor acquired the paper, transforming it into two separate publications. Despite ongoing challenges, The Daily Soliphone remained a fixture in Paragould until its consolidation with the Paragould Daily Press in 1959. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1902 of this newspaper. |
