W. R. Lee Takes Over Mt. Ayr Tribune.

H. C. Jinkerson, who recently started the Mt. Ayr Tribune, has disposed of same, he announces in the last issue, to W. R. Lee, a Mt. Ayt merchant, formerly of Rensselaer. The paper, which has been issued from the office of the Rensselaei Republican, will continue to be printed in Rensselaer, it is understood. Mr. Jinkerson found the expense of getting out the paper was toe heavy for its limited field, which is practically all covered by the Rensselaer papers. He had secured some 74 subscribers, nearly all of whom already took a Rensselaer paper, and as the outlook did not justify him in continuing a money-losing proposition, he gave up the paper and has taken employment in Mr. Lee’s store.
