SPREADING NEWS TWO
HUNDRED YEARS AGO
NerU York Gazette an Early
Periodical.

New York's first newspaper was
published just 200 years ago. 1t was
a modest little sheet less than one
fourth the size of page of the Times
and appeared weekly. A bronze tab
let on the south side of the Cotton
exchange marks the site of the office
from which it was issued. A few fugi-
tive news letters" had appeared from
time to time, but no regular publica-
ton was attempted before 1725. The
first paper was known as the New
York Gazette. In Boston a regular
weekly paper was published at an ear
lier date.
There was not much news in the
New York paper two centuries ago.
The Gazette consisted of a single
sheet, printed on both sides, it's page
two columns in width and the whole
contents measuring less than one mod
ern newspaper column.
In fact, the Gazette printed almost
no local news. Foreign affairs were
of superior interest. The first number
devoted its first page to the text of a
treaty between the emperor Of Ger
many and the king Of Spain. The sec
ond news feature was a "Remon-
STRANGE of the Clergy of France pre-
sented to the king against a new tax
Of per cent.
The only glimpse of local life in
early New York offered by the Gazette
is to be found in the advertisements
Each issue contains but from one to
five advertisements. New York then
gave promise of becoming shipping
center. Scarcely week passes," 1t
appears, without the arrival or de-
parture of some seagoing vessel. Yet
there were no ship news reporters on
the Gazette staff The Atlantic cross
ing then required two months or
more
The real estate announcements of
fered farms for sale down by the pres
ent crowded dead line. The suburban
lite, however, was already flourishing,
for there was surprising number of
plantations on sale in New Jersey
and Long island. In almost every num-
ber of the Gazette there were adver-
tisements of slaves for sale. From
time to time the name of traveller
passing through New York is men
toned. Otherwise all attempts at ac-
quainting the public with local hap
penings ceases.
The Gazette managed to exist
though advertisements averaged only
an inch or so weekly. A line across
the last page announces that the pa
per is 'to be sold by Richard Nickel,
Post Master, where advertisements
are taken in" 1t was not until 1744,
when the paper had run for about
nineteen years, that it achieved cir
culation of 800 copies.-New York

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

The second meeting of the Young
Peoples Forum last Sunday evening
in the Grantwood Congregational
church was a great success both as to
the numbers gathered and in regard
to the program.
music was provided by Muriel
Hearn, and four essays were read by
other young people, Lindsay Halls pa
per deciding that girls were as clever
as boys in constructing things; Miss
E. KIabundle, asserting that I'VE
should not have friends unknown to
our parents;p Jack Fridlington, dilat-
ing on health, happiness and love as
things that money could not buy, and
Lillian Faber presenting her idea of
happiness for a girl, which opinions
were followed by general discussion.
A young peoples orchestra in the
church is under way, to consist of
nine instruments, violins, French
horn, clarionet, ETC., under the direc-
tion of Mrs McCulloch of the local
school faculty.
This coming Sunday the Forum for
the Happy Talk" program will have
for speakers Mr.. ]. S. Fridlington and
Mr.. S. N. Sears, on what Christiani-
ty Means to Me-" Mr.. J. E. Van Wag-

Ladies' Aid and Missionary Societies
The luncheon under the auspices of
the Ladies' Aid Society of the Congre-
gational church on Tuesday proved a
great success and had several guests
outside of the church membership.
The room was decorated with au-
tumn leaves, and the tables looked
very attractive with the fall flowers,
and a delicious menu was provided
under the care of Mrs. Holcombe and
her committee of Mrs. Yeager, Mrs.
Sears, Mrs. Leeger, Mrs. Kraemer and
Mrs. Cochran.
The financial result was the fine
sum of $31.10.
At the Ladies' Aid meeting follow
ing, with Mrs. Kaelin, president, in
the chair, final plans were made for
the trip to the Brunswick Laundry.
1t is hoped that large number will
be on hand to take advantage of this
opportunity, not only to see the plant,
but to fill the two buses, as the num-
ber has proved too large for one and
another must be chartered.
The society received most apprecia-
tive thanks from Mr.. Gozzo of the
Italian Mission for the SIS sent for
his summer school.
The organization consented to take
charge of the Young Peoples Forum
social evening, on Sunday, November
1, and Mrs. Yaeger, Mrs. Dickinson,
Mrs. Mileham and Mrs Goldie offered
their services for the refreshment
committee.
At the missionary meeting after
ward, Mrs. Curtis, chairman, presid-
ing, letters were read from the va
rious missions, the sum asked for by
the Women's Union for the Schauf-
fer Training School was voted and
