A four-page, small 4° paper, published monthly at Greenwood, Dakota Ten-i- 
tory; first issued May, 1871, with Rev. J. P. Williamson as editor. The first 
volume, ending June, 1872, is entirely in the Dakota language. With the be- 
ginning of the second volume, .January, 1K73, the title was changed to : lapi 
Oaye. | The Word Carrier. | ,the size of the sheet iucreased, the first page illus- 
trated, and the fourth page printed partly in English. At this time, also, the Rev. 
Stephen E. Riggs was made principal editor, Mr. Williaaison remaining as asso- 
ciate. At the beginning of the sixth volume, January, 1877, Rev. Alfred L. 
Eiggs took the place of Mr. Williamson as associate editor, and the place of pub- 
lication was changed to the Santee Agency, Nebr. With No. 1 of Vol 9, Jauuary, 
1880, the paper was enlarged to an eight-page monthly, the editorial manage- 
ment remaining uuchanged. The death of the Rev. S. E. Riggs, on August 24, 
1883, left the Rev. A. L. Riggs sole editor, his uauio alone appearing on tho issue 
for October, 1883, Vol. 12, No. 10. The issue for December, 1883, contains a notico 
of certain changes to be made in the next issue — that for January, 1884, Vol. 13, 
No. 1. At this date the Dakota and English sections were separated, making two 
distinct papers — the "lapi Oaye," in Dakota, and "The Word Carrier," in English. 
Rev. John P. Williamson was appointed editor of the former and Rev. Alfred L. 
Eiggs of the latter. The title of the lapi Oaye was changed back to substantially 
its original form, the size of the paper reduced and the number of pages decreased 
to four, and the place of publication changed to Grceuwood, Dakota Territory. 
I have seen the first three numbers of The Word Carrier — for ilarch, 1884, April, 
1884, and April 1.5, 1884, the second of which states: "We skipped over two 
months by the almanac, but we shall furnish twelve numbers during the year."
