THE VILLAGE ITEM.

     This was a small, spicy little sheet that was issued from the press of the Evangelist, in May, 1852.  But a few numbers were printed.  Soon after it was discontinued, Mr. Fitch, publisher of the Evangelist, made the first practical effort to establish a secular newspaper in Oberlin, and issued

THE OBERLIN WEEKLY TIMES.

     This was a six-column folio, very neatly printed, and filled with well selected articles adn ably prepared original matter.  It struggled through its first year at quite an expense to its publisher, who, in June, 1853, announced that "The Oberlin Weekly Times will not be issued again until we have further encouragement," which he failed to receive.

THE STUDENT'S MONTHLY.

     This was an octavo of thirty-two pages, issued in 1858 by the publisher of the Evangelist, and, as its title indicates, was devoted to the interests of the college, being edited and sustained mainly by the students.  It was discontinued after nearly three years, at the breaking out of the war, in 1861.
