Woodville Republican

The Woodville Republican is a weekly newspaper published in Woodville, Wilkinson County, Mississippi. It is the oldest newspaper, as well as the oldest business, in continuous incorporated operation in Mississippi.

The Woodville Republican was established in 1823 by William A. A. Chisholm. Although during the Reconstruction era the newspaper did fall into the hands of Republican Party Carpetbaggers and Scallawags, the name predates, and is essentially unrelated to, the same-named political party.

The Lewis family has owned and operated the Republican since 1879 June 7. As of 2010 the editor is Andy J. Lewis. Issues of the Woodville Republican come out on Wednesdays.
