THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL.
THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL AND TOWN AND COUNTRY AD- VERTISER was a weekly paper published on Wednesday by John Carter, Jr., at the new Printing Office, west side of the Great Bridge, Providence. Terms $2.00 per year.
It was a 4-page sheet with 4 columns to a page, and some larger than the "Observer" or the " Gazette."
The first number was dated Wednesday, Jan. 2, 1799.
