Tuckerton Beacon 19 Feb 1920: ANOTHER COUNTY PAPER SUSPENDS PUBLICATION The Eatontown Advertiser, a Democratic weekly newspaper which has been issued for nearly half a century, has suspended publication because of the illness of the editor, William T. COLE. Mr. Cole is 78 years of age, and in addition to his duties as editor and publisher, comprised the mechanical force as well. The Advertiser is the seventh Monmouth County weekly to suspend publication since the commencement of the war. LAST OF A.E.F. HAVE LEFT CAMP DIX: Last week saw the last of the A.E.F. demobilization at Camp Dix, where half a million soldiers have been converted into civilians. As there are several thousand wounded Americans in hospitals and convalescent stations the demobilization department will not close at once, as groups of these men are arriving at Camp Dix every week.
