Harbor Grace Standard & Conception Bay Advertiser

1877

The HARBOR GRACE STANDARD, earliest issue located: Dec. 7, 1859 (v. 1, no. 4)and it ceased publication: 1936. Frequency of publication was weekly, Dec. 7, 1859-Mar. 3, 1888; semiweekly, Mar. 10, 1888-1894 and weekly, 1894-1936?
The paper had several titles: Standard and Conception-Bay Advertiser, Dec. 7, 1859-Dec.25, 1867; Harbor Grace Standard and Conception-Bay Advertiser, Mar.1, 1871-Mar. 3, 1888; Harbor Grace Standard, Mar. 10, 1888-1936.
The Harbor Grace Standard published news of the Conception Bay Region, domestic and foreign news, legislative proceedings, extracts from St. John's papers, shipping and fishing news, poetry, and advertisements. The paper strongly opposed Confederation in 1865 but supported it by 1869. In the 1870's the paper did not receive patronage from the Bennett administration and supported Carter and Ambrose Shea, who represented the Harbour Grace district in the House of Assembly. The paper supported the railway and Whiteway's first administration. The Standard took the Protestant side in the aftermath of the 1883 Harbour Grace affray and supported Thorburn in 1885. The Standard was published until 1936 when it folded due to economic reasons.

SHEA, an unmarried man of about sixty years of age, a resident of River Head, left home for town on the afternoon of that day, but did not return at nightfall.

As the next day passed without his making his appearance, alarm was felt and a search instituted, but without success. On Sunday morning, however, Mr. Jarvis's servant-girl observed something floating in the "dock" between the premises of Messrs. Geo.C. RUTHERFORD & Co. and those of Messrs. C.W.ROSS & Co's. which on examination proved to be the body of the unfortunate man.

He had been denied liquor that evening by at least two publicans on the ground that he had already "enough in".

8 Dec 1877	News	A young man, purporting to be engaged in the honest, if not distinquished calling of catering to the tastes of the gum-chewing portion of the community, has been degrading his profession by his loose ideas of meum et tuum. This chewing-gum man procured goods from several parties here; but has left town without considering it necessary to pay for them. His landlord also complains that he has forgotten to "square up" with him. We therefore request the public to beware lest they be victimised by this itinerant agent of a chewing-gum concern. He goes under the name of McNAUGHTON, is of medium height, is shaven and shorn, and apparently of about 25 years of age.
