Happy Birthday to Beardstown’s one and only newspaper! This week’s edition is number 180! That’s 180 years. However, after doing a Google search, it said the newspaper was established as the Beardstown Gazette and the first issue appeared on August 15, 1845. That comes out to 179 years. I’m not going to argue over one year, but the conclusion is this newspaper is old. And it’s still going strong.
