''The Courier'' is a weekly newspaper published in Mount Barker, South Australia, for much of its existence having the full title ''The Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser''. ==History== ''The Courier'' was founded as ''The Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser'' on 1 October 1880, price 3d. (3 pence) for 4 pages.〔(Front page of the first issue. )〕 Charles M. R. Dumas was sole proprietor, and its offices were on Gawler Street, Mount Barker. Publication continued every Friday morning. Dumas, who was for four years Member for Mount Barker, died on 19 February 1935, and his family kept it running until May 1938, when it was taken over by T. H. Monger, previously owner of the Tasmanian ''King Island News''. In 1909 Dumas opened a printery in Murray Bridge, and started a newspaper there, the ''River Murray Advocate'', but by the start of 1911 the ''Advocate'' existed only as a single page supplement in the ''Courier''. Monger's period of eight years, ending in March 1946, was short but eventful, encompassing World War II. The next owners were E. L. Perry and H. Edmondson. From 1952 the proprietors were F. T. Marston and E. L. Perry, and publisher was Norman E. K. Marston. In 1954, the last year which can be examined on-line using Trove, the newspaper's title was virtually unchanged, it had 10 pages, was published on Wednesdays and cover price was 4d. In 1893 tentative moves were made to introduce an alternative title ''Mount Barker Courier and Southern Advertiser'', but somehow the "less cumbrous title" never made it to Page One. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Courier (Mount Barker)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
