The Palmerston And Waikouaiti Times

The Palmerston And Waikouaiti Times (Donald Macleod, proprietor), Palmerston. This journal was originally established as the “Waikouaiti and Shag Valley Herald” in 1864, and was published at Waikouaiti till 1876, when the plant was removed to Palmerston, a local company having acquired the property, and at the same time the present name was substituted for the original name of the paper. About two years afterwards, Mr. A. H. Gill, who had previously been interested in the paper, became a partner again, and until his death in May, 1902, he conducted the journal as editor and sole owner. The present editor and proprietor, Mr. Donald McLeod, took over the business in June, 1902. The “Times” is a weekly paper of forty-two columns and six pages. It is fairly supported by advertisements and circulates throughout Palmerston, Shag Valley, Waikouaiti, Hampden, Dunback, Goodwood, and other outlying districts. In politics it claims to be independent with strong conservative leanings.
