Is this newspaper just gone?

I posted this in r/Genealogy a while back but no luck. I figured I'd post here and maybe the community can help me out

Through probate records, I found out that an ancestor of mine had posted some advertisements for their business in a newspaper published in Princeton (Gibson Co.) Indiana, called "The Prohibition Era". My research tells me that the paper was started in 1887 by Sumner Rose, and was bought out just a year later by a Mr. James McCormick, who then continued to print it under the same name until he stopped it in 1893, due to lack of financial support.

Further research led me to the Indiana State Library, where they had one document typed up about it, saying that good quality copies of the Era were kept in the Recorder's office in the Gibson County courthouse in Princeton.

I reached out to the recorder, who informed me that despite working there as Recorder for 45 years, he had never seen these newspapers. I further inquired about any fires at the courthouse that would have destroyed those newspapers, and he said that to his knowledge no fire ever broke out in the courthouse.

My last idea to find this paper was to contact the Princeton public library to see if at some point the courthouse donated their newspapers to the library. Someone reached out just earlier today and explained that he found no records of any kind pertaining to the paper, and further told me that he searched three Gibson County history books, and only one having just a small blurb about the paper.

Is The Prohibition Era just forever lost to time?
