The family retained control of the newspaper until it ceased publication on May 10, 1930, shortly after the death of C.C. Blackadar. The newspaper was published for over a century printing local, national and international stories. Other features of the paper included shipping news, marriage announcements and obituaries, a poetry and story section, a weekly almanac, and advertisements.
