Description | Established in 1842 in Aberdeen, Monroe County, Mississippi, the Mississippi Advertiser served as a Democratic four-page weekly until 1848. Aberdeen, situated on the Tombigbee River, became the county seat in 1849 and grew into a commercial hub by 1910. The Advertiser transitioned into the Monroe Democrat under publishers William E. Smith and William D. Chapman. Subsequent papers included the Sunny South and the long-running Aberdeen Examiner, founded by Sidney Alroy Jonas. The papers covered local news, Democratic Party ideals, economic developments, and national events like the annexation of Texas and the gold rush in California. Post-Reconstruction, they addressed regional issues, promoted local improvements, and advocated for temperance. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1845 of this newspaper. |
