    The first newspaper published at Menominee, or about the
 Menominee river, was THE HERALD, the first number of which
 was issued Sept. 10, 1863.  E. S. Ingalls, editor and proprietor.
 It was Republican in politics.  In 1866 - '7 Jesse Spalding, of
 the Meneskaune mill, I. Stephenson, of the N. Ludington Com-
 pany, the Kirby, Carpenter Company, the R. Stephenson Com-
 pany and myself each put in $200 and many of the other citizens
 sums from $1 to $50 each, and a press and type and other outfit
 for a printing office were bought.  Andrew R. Bradbury came
 here and took charge of the paper, the purchasers allowing him
 to take the property without interest, and pay for it as he could.
 He conducted the paper until January 1871, when he sold out to
 James A. Crozer, who, in 1874, sold it to Dudley S. Crandall,
 who conducted it one year and sold back to Crozer, who is now
 its editor and publisher.

 for a short time when John L. McLaughlin took charge.  In Jan.
 of 1876, John L. Buell took the press and materials and began
 printing the MENOMINEE JOURNAL, which he is still publishing.
