The Sherman Daily Register functioned as an independent evening publication in Sherman for 21 years before ceasing operations in 1906. Starting on October 20, 1885, the paper covered local, state, and national news alongside extensive advertising. Subscribers paid 75 cents per month for the daily edition, which was not released on Sundays. Circulation numbers varied between 600 and 1,600 readers, reaching its peak in the final year of publication. The newspaper's offices were situated in the Sumner Building at 115 East Houston Street. Ownership changed hands several times during its run. Moore & Sirpless founded the paper, but Frank Reynolds took over as publisher in 1898, shifting the publication to a Democratic perspective. Following the turn of the century, Reynolds & Parker managed the business with J. F. Bowles serving as editor. The University of North Texas Libraries now hosts this collection in The Portal to Texas History, making the historical records accessible to the public.
