Dyersburg Gazette (1871)
This sterling paper, conducted by Col. Tom W. NEAL, with great industry and ability, comes to us now enlarged and improved in its outward appearance, and strikes the eye as one of the neatest, as it always has been, and will be while its editor controls it — one of the best country papers in Tennessee. Success to you Tom – may your shadow never grow less.
