Warminster ~ Sunday Newspapers

From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 10th November 1900:

Warminster. Sunday Newspapers.
A writer in this month’s Warminster Parish Magazine asks why the public sale of papers should be allowed on Sundays when all houses of trade must be shut. It is true, says the writer, that these papers involve less Sunday work than the Monday papers, but it is to be feared that they allure many a man away from the weekly service and in many cases give his mind food which nourishes nothing good or great in him. We believe the sale of Sunday papers has increased greatly in the past three years.
