The Trials of a Rural Editor and Dakota Press Growth
A satirical ode on life as a country editor contrasts provincial journalism with city papers, praising Dakota editors and listing prominent figures while lamenting the drudgery of small-town press work. The piece notes rapid newspaper growth in Dakota from nine dailies and thirty-five weeklies in 1880 to hundreds, highlighting editors like Edwards, Louunberry, Winship, Hansbrough, McClure, Booth, and Drake among others. It closes with anecdotes on health remedies and a bold match for a golf or billiard event, reflecting period culture and commerce.
