The Alvarado Pioneer newspaper was founded in 1925 by George Henry Oaks. His son, George P. Oaks continued publishing the newspaper until 1946. George Oaks bought the Centerville News from Miles Smith and merged it with the Township Register, which was owned by Stuart Nixon, to form the News Register. The News Register would become the Argus, an ANG newspaper.
