HITCHING POSTS NEEDED
Inadequate Facilities for Tying Farm
ers' Transformed Should Pro- p.
vide Accommodation

A larger number of places to hitch
teams is one of the immediate needs
of this city. An inspection made by
one of the Herald's reporters last
Saturday showed every available light
and telephone pole and every hitching
post in use.
Until the horse is entirely supplant-
ed by the automobile Cor Ford), it is
the duty of every city dependant up
on farming community to furnish
ampel facilities for hitching of teams
convenient to all parts Of the business
district. .."
. While the hitching of, teams tends
to crowd our streets and perhaps de-
tracts from the beauty of the city in
a way, still there is no more pleasing
sight to Sank Centre business men
than a large number of teams tied on
our streets; no other one thing so i'm
presses strangers with the fact that
they are in busy community. It has
been said that a number of teams on
the streets of rural community is a
true barometer of it's business pros
perity. The Herald hopes that the
City officials will supply the needs
and that such conveniences will II be
available in close proximity of every
business house.

During the 27 months the present publish

men and people of Sank Centre have re-

ing their wings for journalistic flights, but
are veterans of more than rs years exper-
fence in the newspaper game.
The Herald was not the first newspaper
started in Sank Centre. In the fall of 1866
George Mclaughlin started the Sank Valley
News, which had precarious existence for
about two months, when the editor and pro-
prietor locked the office door and took up the
more remunerative occupation of hunting
and trapping, turning the office over to his
hacker, w. H. Wood, of Sank Rapids.
Joseph H. Simonton appeared on the scene
in June 1867, and bought the outfit and on
June 9Th, 1867, the first issue of the Sank
Centre Herald was given to the public. In
July of the same year he was joined by his
brother Samuel, who bought half
interest in the paper, and together they
conducted it till July 1879, when they
sold it to Charles F. HendryX. ]. H. was
the general manager and principal editorial
writer while Sam was the job man, took
charge of the post office and, until the rail-
road was extended to Sank Centre, was tele-
graph operator.
Joseph H. SimontOn was born in Perry
county, Penn, in 1910, and was the seventh
son of Thomas and Elizabeth Baxter Simon
ton. Thomas Simonton was physician and
moved with his family to Wilmington, ILL.,,
in 1852 where he died in 1856.
In 1857, the Simonton family came to Min
nesota, locating at Sank Rapids. J. H.
started his career as printer in the office
of the New Era, which was the successor OF
The Frontiersman, the second newspaper
published in the state.

JOE AND SAM SIMONTON
Founders of Sank Centre Herald, June, 1868

j. H. returned to Wilmington, ILL.,, in the
spring of 1862 and remained there II
months, returning to St. Cloud in 1868, and
in company with an elder brother Thomas,
started the St. Cloud Times. Later he sold
his interest in the Times and accepted po-
sition on the st. Paul Pioneer, where he re-
manned till he came to Sank Centre.
J. H. Simonton was married to Miss Jennie
Stabler, daughter of prominent business
man of this city in 1870. Six children were
born to them, three, Ben, Frank and Mil
dred still living.
Samuel Simonton, the brother partner,
was born in Perry county, Pa, in 1888;
learned the printing trade in Joliet, ILL.,;
when the family came to Minnesota he went
to work on the Frontiersman, Sank Rapids,
and was afterwards manager of the New
Era, successor of the Frontiersman. The
New Era was afterwards transferred to st.
Cloud and was called the Minnesota Union,
and was conducted by Gen. S. B. Lowry,
very able and talented man, and c. C. An
dreWs.
Samuel was married in 1873 to Miss Lydia
Coons, of Osakis. They have one son, Edwin
B., residing at Spokane, Wash.
The initial issue of the Herald was printed
on the first printing press ever brought into
the state and used in the old Pioneer office
in st. Paul; afterwards it was transferred
to Sank Rapids and used in the office Of the
Frontiersman and the New Era, was brought
to Sank Centre to print the Sank Valley
News and became part of the Herald equip
ment. A curious part of this outfit was
set of ''leg" candlesticks that could be moved
around the press so the operator could work
by candle light. This old relic, which ought
to have been preserved, was later traded in
