Defunct:  BRISCOE COUNTY News, Silverton, Texas

Description

Briscoe County is in the Texas Panhandle. There's about 1,500 in the county with about 700 in Silverton, the county seat where The Briscoe County News was published. The other paper in the county is in the only other town, Quitaque. The Briscoe County News is no more.
This is an 8 page tabloid (smaller tabloid size page 12-13" versus larger 17"). It's a quality newspaper with plenty of news and local ads. It's a nice glimpse of life in the area. The paper was stored properly and as you'd find it new. Circulation was thought to be between 400 and 500 in total.
From my understanding, a publisher purchased this newspaper and the one in Matador. The successor claims to incorporate 4 former newspapers as the now, Caprock Courier.
You don't see such small town newspapers very often. I collect and sell small town newspapers, the smaller the town and smaller the circulation, the better. Know of a great little town paper, please share by getting in touch. I collect too!
