CHALMERS DISPATCH GIVES UP White County Newspaper Dies From the Lack of Support. The Chalmers Dispatch, one of White county’s weekly newspapers, has ceased publication, its demise being due to lack of local support in that vicinity. The paper was owned by the Rev. A. F. Knepp of Columbia City. Rev. Knepp managed the paper at Chalmers for a time, but later went to Columbia City to take up the ministry and leased the Chalmers office to J. S. Moyer, whft had been the editor and publisher. The Dispatch had striven hard to live, but had to g|ve up because of the lack of cooperation of the people. The machinery has been shipped to Columbia City, where it will be stored for the present, and Mr. Moyer will enter other newspaper fields.
