The Constitution newspaper has this
week absorbed the Liberal Press newspaper.
and the latter, after next Friday, will cease
TO exist. The Liberal Press was established
in August, 1877, by Shoeh & Heritage, as
an Independent newspaper, and for tim,
was quite successful The paper was frs
published in the Town Hall building, theI
the centre of business activity in Wood
bury. 1t has had several office home
since, and several owners, but none Of then
have gone into the banking business O
dwelt in elegant luxury, after retirement
In fact, the Press has never been fnancia
success, but several small fortunes hav'
disappeared after coming in contact wit
it. 1t seems to us that the owners Of tn
Constitution and Press have done wis
thing in bringing the two Republics
organs together under the guidance Of on
brilliant Sparks, who we trust will lon
and wisely and brightly ilIumine the page
Of The old Constitution
