1896-1898
Dyer’s News-Letter went through the mail for the first time on February 8, 1896. It is a weekly of sixteen pages of four columns each, edited and published by George N. Dyer. It is devoted principally to local politics and personal items; theatrical and society matters, and notes on general occurrences of national importance fill the remaining space. It is strongly Republican in its affiliations…The editor has a plain way of stating what he believes to be facts. Prior to his beginning the publication of the News-Letter, he was connected with the business department of The Mirror.
