After the Union Pacific railroad came into the valley, the McGrezv Messenger was established by the writer on October 28, 1912, and printed (in Gering) until February 19, 1913, when it was sold to G. J. Long. In November of that year, he removed the plant to Gering, where it was published as the Wasp for something like a year, then sold to Hammond & Cloud, who changed its name to the Twin City Times. It was not a success, and was finally suspended, the old material still being stored in Gering.

To bring the story down to recent years, only needs to mention the Henry Messenger, printed for a year or so by J. D. Fugate, and suspended in 1920. The McGrew Messenger and the Mclbcta Times were two papers issued for perhaps a year each as commercial propositions by the clubs of those places. The Gering Midzvest is the youngest weekly in the county, having operated during the past two years by Will M. Maupin, a well known Nebraska newspaper man, who also at this time is printing for the young city of Lyman a paper which he states will be supplied with a plant of its own shortly.

This article has made no mention of publications not in the accepted newspaper class. Several papers of a general character nave been printed here, among them the Nebraska Odd Fellow with a statewide circulation with my own name as publisher, but in reality a commercial proposition for the actual owners. The Hammer was an engineering paper printed in Gering for some time, H. A. Mark being its author. The Nebraska Times, a Japanese publication may also be credited to the county list.
