The Golden Gate Herald was first established in 1881, by J. A. Zook, as the 
Golden City News, but was run only a few weeks when it was discontinued.  The 
plant was afterward purchased by Thomas Galliger, who changed the name to the 
Herald.  After running it awhile Mr. Galliger transferred it to J. H. Heath, 
and he in turn transferred it to T. G. Robison, who is running it at the present 
time.  It is published every Thursday, and is a five-column quarto, with a 
circulation of 750.  T. G. Robison, the editor, is a native of Piatt County, 
Ill., and a son of William C. and Catherine (Dresback) Robison, natives of Ohio.  
The family came to Missouri in 1871, settling in Golden City Township, where the 
father bought a farm, and, with the help of his children, improved it.  Here T. G. 
Robison was reared, and here he received a fair education in the common schools, 
but later took a four years' course at Lane University, at Lecompton, Kan., 
graduating in 1885.  He then engaged in the newspaper business, established the 
Lecompton Monitor, which he ran one year, after which he transferred it to Little 
River, Rice County, Kan., and ran it at that place over two years.  He then sold 
out, and went to Garnett, Kan., where he engaged in the job department of the 
Garnett Eagle for a time, and then came to this place, where he is successfully 
running the Herald.  Mr. Robison was married December 20, 1885, to Miss Olive A. 
Watson, a native of Indiana, who bore him two children: Albert Oliver and Thomas W.  
He is a member of the United Brethren Church.
