Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 40, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 January 1899 — The Passing of Bartoo. [ARTICLE]

The Passing of Bartoo.

Now that A. J. Kitt, the veteran newspaper man, has started a new paper at Goodland, the question is asked by many what will become of the Herald and our former townsman, H. J. Bartoo, who recently took charge of same. The occasion for the establishment of of a new paper at Goodland arose when the change in management of the Herald took place, as was quite apparent, and the paper has elevated downward about as fast as it was possible for a paper to go since that time. As for its editor he will no doubt manage to “stay” in the field for a while if the tradesmen of Goodland will “wait” on him for his* provisions and other necessaries. The Democrat understands that some Rensselaer tradesman who “waited” on Bartoo for groceries, etc., while he resided here, are still “waiting.”
