SURNAMES:
H. H. Main, the
business manager of the Herald, was born in Wisconsin, and is forty years
of age. He taught school for several years in that State, and came to
California for the benefit of his health. For sanitary reasons, he settled at
Los Gatos, and engaged in the lumber and wood business. In 1880 he was elected
a member of the county Board of Supervisors, and re-elected in 1883, being
chosen as chairman of the Board during the latter term. He had a natural taste
for journalism, being a close reasoner and a ready writer. He was the projector
of the Los Gatos Mail, and its business manager during the first years of
its existence. He came onto the Herald when the company was
incorporated, and his management has steered it prosperously through the shoals
and quicksands which have wrecked so many journalistic barks in Santa Clara
County, and brought it to the open sea and prosperous gales of success.

SURNAMES:
W. C. Morrow, city
editor of the Herald, was born in Alabama, and is now thirty-four years
of age. He early developed great literary talent, and, when a mere boy, wrote
many things that provoked favorable comment from distinguished literary men. He
came to San Jose in 1879, and was immediately engaged as a writer on the
Mercury. While engaged in newspaper work he wrote several charming novels,
poems, and short stories that gave him high standing among the literati
of the coast. His efforts attracted the attention of Eastern publishers, and
many of the productions of his pen found place in the columns of leading
magazines and journals of the Atlantic States. When the Herald was
reorganized he became its city editor, to the profit of the paper and the
benefit of the community.
