From July 2, 1915 it alternated with The Braidwood Review and District Advocate.[2] The newspaper was on Wednesdays and Saturdays until June 1915 and then Tuesdays and Saturdays.[1] In the early 1860s the newspaper was purchased by John Musgrave and Mr. J. Cosgrove. Musgrave later bought out his partner, remaining as sole publisher of the paper until his death on 21 August 1914.[3]
