Like a neighborhood paper. It wouldn't be noticed at all. Publisher was looking for national publicity and he got it. Now, I don't know a thing about the paper, but I found this article in Google Search. It said that the circulation was once 7000, but now down to 3000. I don't know if it is twice a week or once a week. The story implied it was once a week.

..I guess it would compare to a small town radio station with an afternoon talk show. So the talk show host talks about the Klan and etc, etc, etc. So that talk show host would get as much publicity as a dog taking a poop in a local park. But someone picked this up and now it is nation wide news. Just want you to know some of the facts..."Just the facts, sir, Just the Facts "

Linden, a town divided by race

LINDEN | Tucked away between the rolling hills of West Alabama and the snaking Tombigbee River, sits the small town of Linden. Here, time has slowly rotted out trees and rusted away mom-and-pop storefronts. It has mowed down miles of forest, making way for highways and railroads, paper mills and cellphone towers.

Time has done its best to alter the face of Linden, slowly working progress into a town resisting any sign of change. But the fresh coat of paint time provides comes in only two colors here: black and white.

Nearly four decades have aged the seat of Marengo County, but the soul of a town divided by race lingers, holding on while the world passes by.

At Linden High, the only public high school in the city, there are 196 students and not one of them is white. Two miles south of Main Street is the private school, Marengo Academy. Of the 205 students enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade there, none are black.
