We are in receipt of the first number
Of the Livingstone Tribune, published by
Carson Il Meehan. The Meehan fsthe
firm was as an attache Of the RIVER
PRESS last fall, and is a fl rst-class printer.
The paper is nicely printed and the tone
of the first number is good. This paper
should be a success, as it has a good fleld
to work in, and we hope HMaf" will be
able to hold it down until he gets ga the
pay-streak.
