Gundagai Times and Tumut, Adelong and Murrumbidgee District Advertiser

In December 1864 Elworthy dropped the reference to the County of Wynyard (which encompasses the parishes of Batlow, South Wagga Wagga, Tumut, Selwyn, Adelong and South Gundagai), and the paper became the Tumut and Adelong Times, with enlarged content,[5] but maintaining the issue sequence from the earlier title.

[7] The impetus for the move was influenced by poor financial returns on subscriptions from the Tumut and Adelong Times, but also the better communications available at Gundagai, both for news gathering and distribution.

Elworthy remained at the helm of the newspaper until his death on 3 March 1889, aged 55.

[8] His eldest son Arthur Elworthy (1865 – May 1935), who had worked as a reporter for the paper,[9] inherited the business, and was in active ownership until 1931, when he sold it to the proprietors of The Gundagai Independent,[10] with which it was integrated.
