Grantsville store front displays on-line Herald stories

1999 - In the far east, and certainly in China, funds to subscribe to newspapers are scarce. So the publishers generally post the papers on buildings or in store fronts, allowing the passerby to read the latest news.

In the late 1990's "The Hur Herald, with its shaky financial backing, strives to get the 'word out' the best way it can."

"For several months, many of the Herald's online stories have been posted in the window of the old State Farm Office on Main Street."

The early editions were filled with late-breaking news, the dedication of a new outhouse at the Hur Church and parodies on the political life of the county.
