Newspapers in rural areas of Utah can be very unique in the information they give. To sell, newspapers reached out to the interests of the locals, balancing that with regional, state, and national news. | |||
*In "slow news" days, they may include "filler," such as names of hotel guests or people arriving on a stage coach. | |||
*Legal notices from neighboring counties may be posted | |||
*Advertising is entertaining when seeing it through the readers' eyes, and may include a business your relatives owned. | |||
