C.E. Gilbert, who founded the Abilene Reporter, established the Sweetwater Advance in 1881, the year Nolan County was organized. Later published as the Nolan County Review, it was purchased in 1906 by John W. Millsapps, who modernized the operation. In 1911 Millsapps, and his partner W.A. Perry, with the assistance of managing editor C.A. Wade, began publishing daily editions under the Sweetwater Reporter banner. A later owner of the newspaper was Houston Harte, who became a partner in the national publishing firm of Harte-Hanks. (1981)
