Maquoketa Sentinel, June 15, 1854

MAQUOKETA SENTINEL-We have before us a copy of the first number of the Maquoketa Sentinel, a new paper just started in the village of Maquoketa. Nothing more impressively reminds us of the growth and prosperity of Iowa than the increase of newspapers; for without a population sufficiently large, liberal and enlightened, so many papers as are now published in this state would not be sustained. The Sentinel is published in the midst of just such a population as sustain newspapers. We may, therefore, safely bespeak for it a liberal patronage. The price of the paper is $1.50 a year in advance. Advertisements are published at liberal rates. Swigart & Brother, publishers and editors.
