Chesterton Tribune - April 30, 1855
A. J. Bowser, Editor
A New Feature - Beginning with the next issue, the publisher of this paper
will add one column of local news items printed in the Swedish language.
This column will be edited by Rev. O. C. Simpson, of this place, and will
be under his full control. That Rev. Simpson will do the writing for this
column is assurance that it will meet the approval of our Swedish-reading
friends. Whether this column becomes a permanent feature or not, depends
entirely upon the encouragement received. If fifty new subscribers are
added to our list, we can keep the column up.
