Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 January 1914 — Christian Endeavor Social. [ARTICLE]

Christian Endeavor Social.

The Christian Endeavor of the Christian church wifi give a 10 cent social at the church Wednesday evening and all are cordially Invited. Fowler now has only one newspaper. the Benton County Review, owned by Geo. L. Roby. A few years ago there were three newspapers in that city, The Review, The Leader and The Republican. The Leader was John P. Carr's paper. He had a distinctive style and a big farm and kept the paper going, although at a loss, it is understood, tor many yearn The Republican -went through a number of feeble hands and Anally was taken over by The Leader. This did not seem to strengthen The Leader and when John P. Carr went Moosy the Leader-Republican showed a full bead of down hill steam. It changed hands, but the new owners, although publishing a very good paper, could not restore it to the confidence of the people. In the meantime Brother Roby was printing a paper of splendid value and it became easy tor The Review to absorb The Re-publican-Leader. It Is Improbable that The Review, as a political papier, ton expect long to occupy the field alone, but It will probably be difficult sledding tor a new paper to enter the field and put itself on a paying basis.. Brother Roby has the distinction of having accomplished a feat rarely performed to the newspaper business, that of chasing his competitors entirely out of business.
