"Portrait and Biographical Record of Dickinson, Saline, McPherson and Marion Counties," 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.
