Description | Andrew Wiggins Bond, a state senator from 1912 to 1916, advocated for the establishment of Stone County, Mississippi. The Wiggins Enterprise, which he owned and edited, highlighted reasons for separating from Harrison County, particularly its high debt. Following Stone County's creation in May 1916, Bond renamed the paper the Stone County Enterprise. It continued under family management after Bond's death in 1920. The newspaper focused on local news, covering the development of industries like lumber and canning, driven by the region's abundant yellow pine forests. Regular features included county board proceedings, education updates, sports reports, and news from nearby areas. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1916 of this newspaper. |
