The front page of the Epitaph for 26 October 1881
The Tombstone Epitaph was a newspaper published in Tombstone, Arizona.
In 2268, the October 26, 1881 issue of the Epitaph was seen by the USS Enterprise landing party on the Melkotian planet. It included advertisements for the O.K. Corral and Skipworth and Co, as well as the headline "TOWN SOCIAL HALL IS PLANNED". (TOS: "Spectre of the Gun")
The Epitaph was founded on May 1st, 1880. It is the oldest newspaper still published in Arizona and comes out monthly.
The front page is clearly a filler prop, as the article below has nothing to do with the headline.
