There was general agreement among the leading citizens that a paper should be organized to provide an outlet for local tal- ent which, until 19:7, exploded in the sporadic distribution of “squibs” and “fly-sheets” in poe- try and prose, known as "Crick- ets." Thus there was formed a joint stock company called the Richmond Hill Printing Company. In the words of Mr. William Har- rison, the scribe of Richmond Hill and district, “the prospec- tus.... contained the usual prom- ises to make this a firstâ€"class literary journal, and one capable of taking a manly and independ- ent stand on all the important questions of the day ...... It was to overflow with British loyalty-to be Conservative in politics and 7s. and 6d. a year, in advance." Mr. Harrison writes that the lpaper failed to live up to expect- jations. The running expenses far exceeded calculations, there was disagreement as to the editorial policy and, in the words of our scribe: “As stockholders, we soon got sick of our venture into the field of journalism.” Mr. William Trudgeon, described as a smart young fellow with definite poli- tical promise, in the same year bought up the stock and changed the name of the paper to the “British Tribune.” Mr. Scott, being the descendant of a book selling family, opened Richmond Hill’s first book and stationary store and “supplied the best periodical literature of that day.” A feature of the Herald columns were articles by pro- ponents of various religions and in time the articles were publish- ed in pamphlet form and wide- ly distributed. 'W I. VV‘O‘OWV‘I‘UVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV‘Q‘OV‘QV‘O‘L‘O‘OW In 1863 the Herald shut down. Our venerable scribe writes: “The proprietor got sulky and shut down.” Mr. Scott’s valedic- tory ended with the words: "We now bid farewell to the editor’s desk, with its nursery for fo- stering foes and severing friends.” It would appear that Mr. Scott was ill equipped to keep opposed political and other factions at arm’s length, or re- concile conflicting interests to keep the paper going. The establishment continued as a job printing office until 1865 when the Herald again bobbed up. Mr. Scott's two-year absence from the editor’s desk seems to have done him the world of good. Aurora, meanwhile did not have a paper. On January 27, 1860 there vvas a large and in- fluential meeting held in Aurora for the purpose of identfying that village with the Herald. The de- cision to do just that was backed by 50 subscribers. “so that Au- rora whs once dependant on Richmond Hill for its intelli- gencefi A 7 Ill fortune continued to dog the newpaper. In March 1859, the “Commonwealth” came out as an independent journal called “The York Herald," under the manage- ment of Mr. Malcolm McLeod, whose motto was “Let Sound Reason Weigh With Us More Than Public Opinion." However, the change of owner- ship apparently did not make for better management. The “British Tribune" become a financial fail- ure.
