Windsor and Richmond Gazette
Saturday 30 March 1889


The two Marys. Mrs. Leathem of the “Molong Express” is an out-and­-out Protectionist, while the other Mary, the wife of Garland, M. L.A., of the "Carcoar Chronicle," is a straight from-the-shoulder Freetrader-ess.

Windsor and Richmond Gazette NSW

Mr. George Dyson, a former secretary of the N.S.W. Free trade Association, is now editing the “Molong Express." George is a first-class platform speaker.

ALL-SORTS

By ' Luny '.

RECOLLECT, I AM. HERE-

Thus ' Molong Marion ' ' Old Sport’ in the Dear, Old ' Carcoar Mary', is livening that paper up interestingly lately. Go it, ' Old Sport '!

The Carcoar Chronicle NSW
23 sept 1898

Now, whisper! Are the Molong and Carcoar journalists going to enter into one long, loving, everlasting, indissoluble union? 

We know you're not a' Marion ' sort, but, then, you never know, do you -?-

But the Express is behind the times in alluding to you as ' Mary ', and you ask why it does so? Well, years ago as you know, the Bulletin christened the pair of you.

No, not you; you! were not in Carcoar then; you had not then attained the sweet bliss of living in a community where fearlessness is in danger of having its head punched.

I well remember reading the following re the Molong Express in the Bulletin:' Item from The Molong Marion:' 

The holiday passed off quietly in Molong; there were NO sports, but there was A cricket Match.

So we; learn that a cricket match is not Sport, but we KNOW WHAT IS SPORT, though – Reading “The Molong Marion”!

ALL-SORTS

By ' Luny '.

RECOLLECT, I AM. HERE

Thus The Molong Express of Saturday: In a playful manner, Luny, of The Carcoar Mary — that is, Chronicle—asks why the Express styled his mangle Carcoar Mary? Ah? well? 

Many years ago — perhaps before Bachelor Luny was — we all affectionately knew the Chronicle as Carcoar Mary, And that is why, No more.

Right you are, Molong Marion. I thought you might have been having a sly hit at this now-mighty mangle, by insinuating that it was now being conducted on Old- Woman Lines.'
***
I consider The Molong Express afar-and-away more-readable and better-paying journal than The Orange Tommy-Rot, and so do many more. Even the lately-started Orange little bi-weekly, The Sun, shows indications of receiving more solid support than The Tommy-Rot. Vanity will not be countenanced by those who can accord solid support to newspaper proprietors. Time will tell.
***

As East Orange is a large town, with a Municipality, but with newspaper to agitate for its wants and requirements, I am thinking seriously of opening a Branch Office there shortly.

If I haven't got enough business, I can, if that way inclined, rob Messrs Edwards, Dunlop & Co., Ltd., and other Sydney and English and American Printers' Brokers out of their honest and just dues. 

Any fool can run countless papers at —Other People's Expense

Friday 14 October 1899
Thus last Saturday's MOLONG “EXPRESS”

That old chestnut about a loving couple, Black-Tracker Byrne and the Christmas Party at a Northern station is working its way through the papers.

It has just turned-up amongst the original matter of a Parks paper. 

What d'ye think o' dat, 'Old Sport ', mine friend?
***
A little iron,
A cunning curl;
A box of powder,'
A pretty girl;
A little rain,
Away it goes;
A homely girl
— - - With— A Freckled Nose!
Do you know her?
