ROBERTSON BUYS A PAPER.

It is stated that W. H. Robertson, former publisher of the defunct Wheatfield Telephone, has bought the Fowler Republican and will assume immediate control. John M. Rockhold of Boswell will, it is said, be business manager. Mr. Robertson’s former newspaper experiences have not been of a character to warrant him success in placing the Republican on a sound paying basis, which it is inferred it scarcely oc# cupies at this time.
