Pea Ridge Pod

The ''Pea Ridge Pod'' was a newspaper established in Pea Ridge, Arkansas in 1913 by William F. Peck (1860-1930).〔History of the Arkansas Press for a Hundred Years and More: Page 72.〕〔New York Times; October 1, 1930: Pg. 26〕 Though the newspaper's publishing schedule, whether it was weekly, biweekly, or monthly, is undetermined, it was typically only a few pages in size, as the local population at the time was only a few hundred people. But despite its humble circumstances, the ''Pea Ridge Pod'' gained national prominence due to its witty and folksy take on rural life.〔History of the Arkansas Press for a Hundred Years and More: Page 72.〕 Along with praise for the publication's whimsical name, copy from its pages would go on to be highlighted in publications across the nation, including the ''New York Times'', ''Christian Science Monitor'', ''Atlanta Constitution'', and ''Oakland Tribune''.
== History ==
The ''Pea Ridge Pod'' was the second newspaper to be founded in the town, which is known as the location of the Civil War engagement of the Battle of Pea Ridge. The first periodical in the town was the ''Pea Ridge Advertiser'', which was founded in 1905 by I.H. Baxter and lasted a year before folding. From the beginning, the ''Pea Ridge Pod'' took a nontraditional approach to its writing and its publicity, as the ''Neosho Times'' newspaper in Neosho, Missouri referenced a visit by William Peck to that city in August 1913, where Peck told them that on his trip up by buggy, which took him through Powell, Missouri and Stella, Missouri, he nailed placards to trees advertising his newspaper.〔Neosho Times; August 7, 1913: Pg 5〕 And Peck's opinion of the importance of his paper was even shared by the ''New York Times'', if tongue-in-cheek, which declared that “But the one and only Pod grows at Pea Ridge, and it is full of local news, those little glimpses of country, people and places so interesting to the urbanite, even amid the congestion of his own local news.” The ''Times'' went on to say “A humor is shown by the presences on The Pod’s editorial page of news and editorial comment, slyly and with seeming innocence placed in a collection that must be ironical.”〔New York Times; January 31, 1916: Pg 10〕
Despite the popularity of the quips and prose from the paper in other publications across the country, the meager local population made it difficult for the business to stay afloat. By 1916, Peck had moved it to Siloam Springs, Arkansas to take advantage of a larger readership. And for a time he considered renaming it, though in the end he did not, as one reader urged against the change by declaring that "no could see that funny name without wishing to see the paper."〔History of the Arkansas Press for a Hundred Years and More: Page 74.〕 The newspaper finally folded in the early half of 1917, with Howard Ogg (1894-1944) purchasing the printing operation from Peck and starting the ''Siloam Springs Advertiser'',〔Harrison Times; April 7, 1917: Pg 9〕 which itself was closed by 1920.
About a year after the ''Pea Ridge Pod'' had folded, at least one more reference was made of its particular style. With the ''Ohio State Journal'' declaring, "Not infrequently we have told things so often and so emphatically that we finally got to believing them ourself () and quite likely the ''Chicago Tribune'' by this time really thinks it is the world’s greatest newspaper, especially since ''The Pea Ridge Pod'' seems to have discontinued publication."〔Ohio State Journal; April 1918〕
