<br>Subject: Hello (1834)
<br>
<br>     There's nothing like torching your own theories.
<br>     This is from the CINCINNATI ADVERTISER AND OHIO PHOENIX (although the box
<br>said CINCINNATI ENQUIRER), 21 May 1834, pg. 2, cols. 1-2"
<br>
<br>     "LAZY SAM"
<br>     The following story will not be worth the less for being true.  A
<br>Kentucky horse drover being in South Carolina with a drove...
<br>      (...)
<br>      "Hello! Mister, ..."
<br>      (...)
<br>       "Thing?" holloed Job, "why you make me feel sort o' wolfy..."
<br>
<br>      For this time period, see, for example, DRAGOON CAMPAIGNS TO THE ROCKY
<br>MOUNTAINS by a Dragoon (James Hildreth) (1830s, reprinted by Arno press in
<br>1973):
<br>
<br>pg. 24:  "Hollo there, stranger!"
<br>pg. 28:  "Hollo there, Ben..."
<br>
<br>     I would have expected "Hollo! Mister," but "Hello! Mister" is definitely
<br>there in 1834.  It beats the 1848 New York City "hello" and "ello" citations
<br>by 14 years.
