NEW CARLISLE JOURNAL (POLK'S GAZETTEER, 1916–17) · NEW PRAIRIE TOWN CRIER, 1970 (LCCN SN87056632)
What it is: the directory's full count for this town is four titles seated in New Carlisle — the two Gazette runs, the News, and the New Prairie Town Crier of 1970 (LCCN SN87056632) — and a fifth stands outside the directory at gazetteer strength: the New Carlisle Journal of Polk's 1916–17 state gazetteer, Harry Roloff publisher. Each stands here at the strength the record carries and no stronger. The Town Crier is a directory title only in the record reached — its character, publisher, frequency and end unsettled (GAP-NC-NWS-5 in the sibling leg) — and its name alone is evidence of its moment: a paper named not for the old town but for the New Prairie school corporation that had lately gathered the town's and the township's children into one system. The Journal bridges, in title at least, the Gazette's two directory runs, at the one strength a trade gazetteer's entry carries. This build prints both titles, declines to invent their stories, and leaves their settlers named in the sibling leg's register.
Principal sources: the sibling newspapers leg (NC-2), directory-first as banked, for the four-title count and the Journal's gazetteer record; this section defers to it for the press narrative whole.
