AI notes: The Weekly Mercury was a 19th-century local newspaper published in Constantine, Michigan, primarily serving St. Joseph County and its surrounding communities. It appeared under names such as the Weekly Mercury and St. Joseph County Advertiser, reflecting common naming practices of the era, and was active roughly between the 1850s and 1870s. Like many small-town papers of its time, it provided a mix of local news, advertisements, announcements, and political commentary tailored to its readership. The paper was part of a dynamic local press scene in Constantine, where titles frequently changed names or merged, and it played a key role in documenting the social, economic, and political life of the county during a period of significant growth and development. Copies of the Weekly Mercury are now primarily preserved on microfilm or in historical newspaper collections at local libraries and archives, such as the Constantine Township Library and the Library of Michigan.
