FALMOUTH NEWSPAPERS

T'HE history of journalism in Falmouth dates back to November 21, 
1823. Then was born the Nautical Intelligencer, with W. E. P. 
Rogers at the helm. The Falmouth Chronicle began its existence May 11, 
1872, with Henry Jones as editor. The Seaside Press of 187^, the JVeekly 
%eviezv of 1883, edited by F. H. Burgess, the Cape Cod Independent of 
1884, conducted by Geo. Otis, and later by Lewis F. Clarke, tell the story 
of the life and struggles of a Falmouth newspaper. The present weekly 
sheet is known as the Falmouth Enterprise; Charles S. Burgess is sole 
proprietor and publisher. It is a flourishing infant of fourteen months, and 
bound to grow. (NAPLES)
