The Milford Index has ceased
publication. 1t lasted eight weeks.
Its Milford equipment consisted Of
pair of scissors, pencil and some
writing paper. It's printing was

Its experience serves to show that
Beaver County can't support two
papers, for, while it lasted, the
Index did well for Milford's inter-
ests, but there's not enough of them
to justify venture Of that kind.
