The newspaper's first edition appeared on March 17, 1883. It was the inspiration and work of two printers, Edgar Hammond McCormick and Henarie Morrison Huie. McCormick, the senior partner, was a native of St. Louis who married Huie's aunt, and they had no children. Huie, his unmarried sister Laura, and half brothers, Rollo C.M. Groves, and A. Hunter Jarreau, became owners of the newspaper. It was incorporated as McCormick & Co., Inc. in 1924. Descendant family members including the Dellmons, Wilsons, Smiths, O'Quins and Hardins have been involved in the operation and management of the company. The company, its newspaper and an allied printing subsidiary, have been located on this and adjoining pieces of property since 1887. News coverage focuses on Central Louisiana; carriers distribute the paper to subscribers throughout the area. Persons employed on the newspaper's 100th Anniversary are participants in a Commemorative Trust Fund that will be shared March 17, 2033. Erected by the Alexandria Daily Town Talk, 1991.
