The Tie That Binds


“Staying in Touch with Home”
Jane Price Sharp (as told to Carl Fleischhauer)



About half of the papers go in the county and about half of it goes out...we have about every state in the union. It goes to people that have lived in Pocahontas and moved other places.
We send about a thousand to the surrounding counties and that puts about 1,700 to other places. The most goes to Baltimore and Ohio and Washington, DC. We send a good many to California. That seems to be where more people have gone to work. These Ohio jokes about people - West Virginians going out there - are true. We send more papers to Ohio than any other place. Where people from Pocahontas have gone to work. 

Well, we keep up with them, with what they do in other states and all, as they have different accomplishments and things. We try to keep track of them that way. But they’re interested in Pocahontas County. We don’t try to keep up with state or national news as such, we just try to concentrate on Pocahontas County - and things that are of interest to it and its people.

It just keeps em in touch with home.
