Portrait and Biographical
Album of Dickinson, Saline, McPherson and Marion
Counties
Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1893
THE SOLOMON SENTINEL, published in
Solomon City, was established by Capt. J.
C. Hill in the beginning of July, 1879, as
an independent Republican journal. It has been
published uninterruptedly since, being now in its
fourteenth year. In October, 1884, it was purchased
by E. B. Burnett, who is still its editor and
publisher. He is one of the oldest printers in Kansas,
having been apprenticed to the trade in England
in 1851. He has continuously followed this
occupation with but short intervals of interruption
since. He is a wide-awake business man,
progressive and aggressive in his ideas, and has done
much to promote the interests of the city in which
he resides. His paper is a bright, newsy sheet,
well edited. It has now a large subscription list
and the liberal patronage is well deserved.
In connection with his printing business, Mr.
Burnett finds time to handle real estate and stocks,
do a loan business, write insurance, and sell tickets
to and from Europe. He came to this country in
1866.
