There's more to be found than just news and sports. The classifieds section in Swinford Publications is still a great place to buy and sell, post an assumed name notice and browse legal and public notices. Health articles, our annual Salute to Veterans, puzzles and (coming soon) our comics page give you plenty of content to fill your leisure time. We are dedicated to giving you an ever-improving newspaper in Marion, newspaper in Carterville and newspaper in Herrin, Illinois.
