 The first building to be built, even before the new city site was fully laid out, was a log court house located somewhat west of the current courthouse.In 1874 the "Vidette", a newspaper published by Dr. McDonald, began a brief run of only a few months before it folded.In 1876, another newspaper, the "Times", published by Tom Brown and James Moseley, was published until 1884, at which time it was merged with the "Current Local", which was established by Clay Moseley that same year, and which is now Carter County's only locally published newspaper.
