 Lee Journalism The first number of the Lee Cleaner under it's new owners. Messrs. Rockwell & Hill. came out last week. Its appearance is very little chang ed from what it has been under the admin istration of MT. Hyde. The heading and general makeup of the paper being the same. The Chronicle which was resurrect- ed from it's five or six years demise. .some- thing like six months since, and was con- ducted as campaign sheet, has been mere. ed into the Gleaner, MT. Hill, the owner of the Chronicle, joining MT. Robert 0, Rockwell, son of Judge Rockwell of Lenox, in the purchase of the Cleaner. MT. Rockwell has had some experience in Journalism, and we have no doubt will fill his new position very acceptably to the many readers of the Gleaner. MT. Hill is a first class printer, and we see no reason why the new team should not work well l together. Mir. Hyde, the retiring editor and proprietor has made good paper his being always of 8 high order, and be has merited and received good patron age. It isn't at all likely MT. Hyde will en- tirely abandon the newspaper field, as his is much sought after, and at a good round price, by some of the most prominent Journals in the country.
