Contributions to the Smyth County News
EDITORS’ NOTE: With the issue of November 3, 1927, Sherwood Anderson assumed the editorship of the Smyth County News. He continued to edit this and its companion weekly, the Marion Democrat, for more than two years, and it is generally acknowledged that during much of that period Anderson contributed an appreciable percentage of the articles published in both newspapers. Files of both papers are, unfortunately, exceedingly rare. The citations in this section have been drawn from the Newberry Library’s microfilm of the Smyth County News covering the period November 3, 1927, through December 26, 1929. We have been unable to examine a file of the Marion Democrat.
The list which follows makes no attempt to include all of Anderson’s contributions to the Smyth County News. Rather, it is meant to give some indication of the type and variety of materials Anderson chose to publish along with the weekly accounts of local news. We have included only those articles signed with Anderson’s name or in his capacity as “Editor” (i.e., unsigned editorials are largely excluded), and reprintings of Anderson’s own stories and articles (often unsigned). Articles signed with the pseudonym “Buck Fever” are separately listed. The numerous anonymous and pseudonymous articles (e.g., letters from “Hannah Stoots” and various Coon Hollow folks) contributing to the Buck Fever fiction, though undoubtedly written by Anderson, have been omitted.

In the February 9, 1928, issue the column carried the line drawing of Buck by Wharton Esherick which thereafter distinguished it. Usually a front-page feature, the column appeared almost weekly from February through August, 1928; thereafter it appeared irregularly on an average of twice a month, the last appearance being in the issue for December 19, 1929. The column served primarily as an outlet for Buck’s opinions and his accounts of the fictional happenings up Coon Hollow way; Buck’s reports on actual local events usually took the form of a news story with his by-line.)
