A REVOLUTION AT BROOKSTON.

both with subscriptions and advertising. ' , Besides the four papers printed in Rensselaer, there are two other papers published in the county. The Press at Remington and The Sheaf at Wheatfield, besides which the county is reached in a measure by several papers in towns quite near its boundary lines, among them being the very excellent Goodland Herald, the Brook Reporter, Medaryville Advertiser, Francesville Sun and Monon News. All the papers started in Remington were mere ventures until the Press came, which is healthy and newsy, and well appreciated by the community it serves. The Wheatfield Sheaf has been running but a few months but is fast getting a solid footing and is a very creditable publication.

As pr&viouslv mentioned Geo. H. Healy, a popular Rensselaer boy who recently returned from a four year stay in Kansas, has placed himself at the helm of the Brookston Reporter, and the first print under his supervision was issued last week. Mr. Healy is one of Rensselaer’s most exemplary and talented young men, and has a charming wife whom he gathered to himself in the sun flower paradise. He has associated with him C. Ernest Graham, a camera campaigner and pencil pusher of no mean ability. Both are hard workers and thoroughly good newspaper men, and they will give Brookston a shock that will wake its sleeping citizens to a realization of their importance and the world will discover their existence. The paper has previously looked as if the type had been inked with a mop and run off on a cheese press, but their first issue is as neat as a bride at the alter. The boys made a large part of the photographs of buildings used in making the engravings for this edition of the People’s Pilot and it is possible that Brookston may soon be treated to a dose of “Souvenir Edition.”
