publisher of The Kelso Mail. He had a disagreement with
Alexander Peterkin of The Kelso Chronicle in July 1833, as
a result of Peterkin demanding to know the author of an article in
The Kelso Mail signed Z, which generated much heat, and an
exchange of pamphlets which are in The National Library of
Scotland.

Ebenezer Johnstone was born in 1789, son of George Johnstone, wool
manufacturer in Galashields. He was a private in the Forfarshire
Militia at the battle of Waterloo. When he was discharged he
settled in Stirling and ran a school. In 1831, he bought the
bookselling and printing business of William Macnie, who in turn
had bought that of the Randall's. Admitted a Burgess of Stirling 7
November 1833, he was elected to the Town Council, but lost his
seat in 1840. He published only a handful of chapbooks, perhaps
because he started the Stirling Observer, the first number
of which appeared 15 September 1836. It was a Liberal and Free
Church paper. Johnstone was his own editor. A James Fraser claimed
to have locked up the first issue of the paper. Ebenezer Johnstone
retired 1 November 1860 and died 25 October 1864, aged 75.

There were two engravers called James Johns[t]on in Edinburgh in
1786, the Burgess could be the other, in which case the apprentice
would be his. It seems unlikely but it is possible.
