Summary
In honor of the recent first edition of the Brunswick News-Journal, here's a photo of the first page of its most distant predecessor: Vol. 1, No. 1 of The Brunswick Herald, dated March 6, 1891.
Newspapers had a different approach back then: most of Page 1 is taken up by a section of a novel, plus a curiosity piece about desert animals, an excerpt from the memoirs of a famous French diplomat who knew Napoleon, some reprinted advice from the Boston Herald newspaper on politeness, and -- at the very bottom of column five -- a short biopic of the young Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination 23 years later would start World War I.
The actual Brunswick news begins on Page 2, which you can find (along with the rest of the issue) here: https://www.brunswickmdhistory.com/index.php?title=File:The_Brunswick_Herald_Vol._1_No._1,_March_6,_1891.pdf
