has been purchaced by Paul S. Junkin,
editor of the Corning Union Republican,
who assumed editorial control on Mon
day. Mr.. Junkin is considered .one of
the brightest young newspaper men in
the state, and is associated with his
brother, G. M. Junkin of the Fairfield
Ledger in the purchase Of the Creston
Daily. G. R. Skirvin, the retiring edi-
tor, has in the few years he has been in

pect the paper to be even stronger
than it has been heretofore and it will
be a factor in republican circles of the
state.
