Al WORD TO READERS OF THE
CONVICTION LEADER

In the purchase by the CovingtOn
Leader Of the Upton Record last week
that journal and a number Of other
papers that have in the past been
published in Covington are merged.
The founders Of the Record were
Col. VIM. Sanford and DR.. Morrison
.Munford, afterwards editor Of the
Kansas City Times. Following these
gentlemen, the paper was edited by
the late Capt. Chas. B. Simonton and
the late ]. c. Boals, TONNES Boyd, R.
n. Green, L. D. Hammer, L. E. Gwinn
and J. ]. Green. Since the foundation
Of the Record in 1867, that journal
became the owner Of the West Ten
nessee Clarion, established in 1875 by
the late Capt. George =. Hunt; the
Covington Call, established in 1879,
and the True Light, established at
Mason in 1892, both by L. D. Hammer.
The Leader was established in 0cto-
Der, 1886, by the above named gentle
man, who afterward sold the paper to
s. A. Montgomery and J. W. Simon
ton, these being succeeded by its
present owners and editors, ]. w.
Simonton and A. P. Taylor.
The Leader has, for a great many
years, enjoyed a circulation that we
have felt proud of and has been one
Of the few county papers in this Sec
ton that has published its circulation
and offered to let advertisers inspect
the books and see just what circula-
ton we had. With the merging Of
the two papers, the circulation viii
be greatly increased and we can offer
to advertisers a circulation excelled
by few, if any, county newspapers in
this part Of the state.
