Two newspapers figure in the production of this volume, The Dayton Gazette and Dayton Weekly Leader. There was one other newspaper for the period, The Valley Freeman, but no copies of this paper have been found to date. In these pages, most of the articles found in the few copies of the extant newspapers are given as well as the advertisements. Some of items covered are the booming business blocks in Dayton, a criminal who jumped from the train, a descripton of Walden’s Ridge, Graysville, directories of the County and the churches, and local gossip and personal items.
