~ 1823 – Haycock Township made national news.

So how did the news of a small township in Bucks County Pennsylvania get to newspapers in other states? One way was the practice of swapping editions. Editors would mail a copy of their paper and then selected articles would be reprinted. This concept was a precursor to the wire service.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1864) 2nd Inaugural

With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan - to do all which may achieve a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
