A history of the press of St. John would be incomplete without more than a passing reference to the name of Livingstone. Several brothers of the family have been prominently identified with the daily and weekly papers of the past. The brothers best known are John LIVINGSTONE and Gordon LIVINGSTONE, the former of whom now resides in the Northwest, while the latter resides at Harcourt (Kent Co.). Gordon Livingstone was born at Shediac (West. Co.) Aug. 12, 1844. He was educated at Madras school, Shediac and came to St. John at the age of 21. The 'Telegraph' at that time was issued tri-weekly. Mr. Livingston was engaged as reporter and accountant. He remains with the 'Telegraph' until 1869, after which he was engaged for a time on the 'Morning Journal', owned and edited by Rev. Wm ELDER. The paper and the 'Telegraph' were amalgamated the following year and made a daily under the name of the 'St. John Daily Telegraph and Morning Journal'. The first Guide of St. John was issued by Mr. Livingston in 1869-70. The 'St. John Advertiser', a paper published by Mr. Livingstone in 1870-71 was a very spicy sheet. In 1873, John LIVINGSTONE became owner of the 'Moncton Times'. Gordon helped him to make the 'Times' LIVELY UNTIL 1874, when he became editor of the 'Sackville Borderer'. Severing his connection with the 'Borderer' in 1876, he took a position in the office of collector of customs at Richibucto, remaining there for 13 years. Of late he conducted a general agency business at Harcourt. Mr. L. represented the parish of Richibucto for six years and in the last year of his service was chosen warden of the municipality. He has been twice offered nominations as a candidate for the local legislature, and has declined the honor both times. In politics Mr. L. belonged to the old school of liberals. - 'Progress'
