     ED B. WALKER, editor and publisher of the Twice-a-Week Gazette
at Clinton, Hickman county, Kentucky, is a native son of Clinton and
one of its representative citizens.  With the exception of a few
years, he has been devoted to editorial work all the years of his
active career, having learned the business when a boy.
     Mr. Walker was born in Clinton, Kentucky, August 25, 1862.  A
few years later he lost his father, R. W. Walker, by death.  He was
a well known lawyer of Clinton.  Harriet (Bullock) Walker, his
mother, was a daughter of Judge E. I. Bullock, a pioneer lawyer and
jurist of this section; she is still living in Clinton.
     Mr. Walker was educated chiefly in the public schools, and also
took a course in Clinton College, but did not graduate.  At the age
of eighteen he entered a printing office, and in newspaper work,
thus early begun, found the occupation for which his talents have
best fitted him and in which he has met with best success.  After
following the profession of an editor in Kentucky and Tennessee for
several years, he went to Texas in 1884 and became the editor of a
paper at Gainesville.  In 1885 he served as committee clerk in the
Texas state senate and then to Gainesville and studied law and was
admitted to the bar.  He practiced law there for several years, then
took an editorial position on the Gainesville Evening Register. 
This latter he resigned in 1890 and returned to his "old Kentucky
home," where he bought the Clinton Democrat, which he conducted
until 1902.  In November of the latter year he established the
Twice-a-Week Gazette in Clinton, and since then has been
successfully engaged in building up its patronage and making it one
of the influential organs of the county and town.
     The only public office to which Mr. Walker has been elected by
the votes of the people was that of mayor of Clinton, to which he
was chosen in 1892 or 1893.  He served as chairman of the county
Democratic committee in 1896 and 1897, memorable years in this
section of Kentucky because of the political issues joined and
settled.  Mr. Walker has always been a Democrat, and has been a
Hickman county delegate to many state conventions.  He served as
state central committeeman for the first congressional district for
one or two years, 1894-5.  Mr. Walker has no church connections, and
is not identified with any social or fraternal organizations.
     September 22, 1887, Mr. Walker was married at Owensboro,
Kentucky, to Miss Jennie Greene, and four children have been born to
the, three girls and a boy, the latter the eldest and now about
fifteen years old.
