Acopy of the first issue of the Custer
City Chronicle was received at
this Office yesterday. 1t is the
paper long promised by A. w. Mer-

Hills. OF the same size as the LEADER,
and filed with good reading matter and
advertisements the Chronicle has a look
of stability about it that is gratifying.

camp of the Hills and thinks it has
struck the region in good time. We
wish it success, both to the proprietor
and the people, for in the west, newspa-
papers benefit the people they represent
as well as the owners.
