A large number of men, many of whom are now prominent in business and professions began their business careers in the Gazette office under the leadership of Miss Rogers, whose influence has been an inspiration for them to succeed. They were all referred to by her affectionately as the “Gazette boys.” Miss Alice Maude Rogers had been one of the leaders in the development of this section of Texas not only in directing and advancing its culture, refinement and spiritual life but in its material development. With a foundation of a liberal education, based on the traditions of her native state, the cultured Kentucky of the Old South, continued by voluminous reading of the best in literature.

J.R. Dennis, a product of The Gazette’s training from early boyhood. After the sale of the paper, Miss Rogers retired from active participation in its affairs and devoted the remaining of her years to her favored subjects of literature, the cultural arts and her church. Back in the 1880s there were many problems to be solved in material lines for North and Northwest Texas. Its main industry had been ranching; a transformation to stock farming and farming was imminent. Miss Rogers, with her father, saw many of its needs and with her editorial pen helped direct such change for many years through the columns of the paper. Her interest in the education of the youth of the land was always there. Her paper was a large factor in Jack County’s public school system development and later in securing the location at Jacksboro of its ambitious educational experiment, The North Texas Baptist College
