Stretching my recall but I think Grit was a weekly. Where I was raised, for regular newspapers The Tennessean and Nashville Banner were our choice of papers along with a county local out of our county seat. My family could only afford the Sunday Tennessean and Sunday comics always made my week.

You're probably like me and watched either Huntley-Brinkley or Walter Cronkite for 6pm news....

You were doing a tireless service to your community for little pay and probably very little thanks....
