    S. H. Sayer began publication of the Hubbard City News in 1881, the year the town was founded. The business later merged with S. R. Boyd's paper, the Texas Pick and Pan and the Hubbard City Progress, a newspaper started in 1901 by brothers George and Jim Mecklin, former City News workers. Through their leadership and later ownership by Andy and Ralph Mecklin, the paper became a prominent publication of central Texas. In 1969 it was purchased by the News Publishing Co. of Mexia. A City News office at this site was destroyed by a tornado in 1973.
