History

The publication began around 1890, [3] and the newspaper cites 1893 as its beginning date. [1]

In 1948 Ben Ezzell acquired the newspaper. He opposed the Vietnam War and supported the Civil rights movement. Circa 1993 Ezzell's daughter, Laurie Ezzell Brown, took control of the newspaper after Ben Ezzell died. In 2023 Brown, citing stress from the constant work, decided to put the publication up for sale and to end making print copies. [3] Publication itself had ceased. It was the final print newspaper in Canadian. [2]

The paper's last days are depicted in the documentary film For The Record . [4]
