1905 Solar Eclipse
Description
An account of the resource
In January of 1905, it was predicted that on Wednesday, August 30, 1905 (USA), there would be a total solar eclipse, with the moon passing between the Earth and the sun. The prediction was an article printed in the January issue of the Adair County News (attached), and stated that it would be a partial eclipse only in Kentucky. Though that was not totally true. When the eclipse occurred as predicted, it was viewed by the entire northern hemisphere. The total eclipse lasted 3 minutes and 46 seconds, and was preceded on August 15, 1905 by a partial lunar eclipse. Both were within the Saros Series 143 of eclipses. The saros is an exact period that can be used to predict eclipses of the sun and the moon. Each saros starts with a partial eclipse. The 1905 total solar eclipse was predicted using centuries of knowledge and garnered more attention than had been given to previous eclipses. One reason for more attention was said to be due to the moon-shadowed path crossing a “readily accessible part of the globe,” written by Dr. S. A. Mitchell in Popular Science Monthly.

Description
An account of the resource
The Afro-American Mission Herald was the first paper to advance and nurture the foreign mission agenda of the National Baptist Convention of the United States of America.
The Convention was created by African American Baptists in Antebellum America with a strong desire to connect to each other on a national and global scale. Previous conventions, in free-states mostly, were tethered to white associations. As emancipation neared, so, too, did the need for religious independence. Although efforts to establish such a national organization date back as far as the 1840s, regional interests stalled such efforts. Southern blacks seemed especially resistant to a national canon, choosing the comfortable isolation of state unions instead. This regionalism resulted in divergent organizations, three of which became most prominent; the Southern Baptist Convention, American National Baptists Convention formed by Kentuckian Rev. William Simmons, and the National Baptist Convention. By 1895 these three organizations had merged to make The National Baptist Convention USA, Inc. as it exists today and remains the oldest African American religious convention in the U.S. What made this convention work where others had failed was due, in part, to its organizational structure. Divided into three primary boards - Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and Education - the consolidated conventions oversaw one board each.
It was from the Foreign Mission Board that former Mississippi slave Dr. Lewis Garnett Jordan, a minister and the Convention's first historian, left his mark. From Convention headquarters at the Colored Baptist Church of Louisville, Dr. Jordan formed the bi-monthly Afro-American Mission Herald. Its primary objective was to serve and promote The Convention�s foreign mission interests that, though worldwide, were concentrated in west and southern Africa. It was a duty that Jordan vigorously upheld through his editorials and content selection, making the paper a "progressive vessel" for the masses. In his book Up the Ladder in Foreign Missions, Dr. Jordan sounds the paper�s merit "because no history of missions records impartially and fully the deeds of Negroes who have gone to heathen lands and delivered, amid persecution and thrilling circumstances, the Story of the Cross."
The Afro-American Mission Herald was instrumental in the success of the foreign missions and did so, in large part, by keeping African American missionaries connected to each other and home. Eleven years after it was formed in Louisville, the paper moved to Philadelphia. Today, it is still in print as the Mission Herald. The original hard copies of the Afro-American Mission Herald from which the digital images were derived were lent to the University of Kentucky Libraries by the Congregational Library in Boston, MA. Prior to microfilming each issue was cleaned and mended by the UK Libraries Conservation Lab.

Description
An account of the resource
The American Baptist was established in Louisville in 1879 and was the successor to the state’s first African-American Baptist publication, the Baptist Herald and the official newspaper of the General Association of Kentucky Baptists.
The Herald’s founder and a leader of the General Association of Colored Baptists, Rev. George W. Dupee, was a former slave from Gallatin County who bought his freedom and moved to Paducah where he established the newspaper in September 1873. Kentucky’s African-American Baptist churches were booming after the Civil War, creating opportunities for aspiring religious journalists. After five years, Dupee sold the Herald to William H. Steward, then secretary of the Association. Later that year, the paper re-emerged from Steward’s office in Louisville as the American Baptist. It is still in print today, making it one of Kentucky’s oldest continuously published newspapers.
Like Dupee, Steward was an energetic community leader. Three years before establishing the Baptist, he became Louisville’s first African American postman. Steward was a vocal opponent of racial segregation and in 1914 helped found the Louisville chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Steward also served as president of the Afro-American Press Association. After more than 50 years at the helm of the Baptist, he died in 1935.
Under Steward’s leadership, the American Baptist continued the Herald’s in-depth coverage of the Christian religion and activities in the state’s growing African American churches. The Baptist also covered developments in African American education as well. Of particular import was news from various African American and Baptist schools such as State University, often referred to as “our university.” Baptist Bible schools, known as New Era Institutes, also regularly reported on their efforts to train new ministers. Working with Steward on American Baptist was William James Simmons, the president of State University, the only institution of higher education in Kentucky controlled and established by African Americans. Simmons was also an organizer and subsequently the president of the American National Baptist Convention, later renamed the National Baptist Convention of the U.S.A. The American Baptist was for some time the official organ of the Convention.

Cold Feet, Can't Sleep
Description
An account of the resource
It has been known for centuries that if your feet are cold at night, then you will not sleep well. There are many reasons for cold feet and concerns should be discussed with a medical doctor. Throughout time, there have been various devices used to keep the feet warm at night. The first bed warmers/hot water bottles (three separate words) were metal containers used in the 16th century. This was followed by hot water bottles made of stoneware and glass with a cork stopper to keep the water inside. In Kentucky, bottle warmers were still being suggested in the late 1800s as a way of warming the feet at night [attached source: “Cold Feet and Sleeplessness,” <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn86069871/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bourbon News</a>, 05/30/1882, p.2]. Various kinds of hot water bottles made of Indian rubber were used in England. Florence Nightingale was said to prefer a hot water bottle made of ceramic or Indian rubber. The first modern-day hot water bottle was patented in 1903 by Slavoljub Eduard Penkala, a Croatian engineer. The use of hot water bottles made of rubber was well received in the United States until about the 1980s when the market started to decline. The change was due to the availability of other nighttime heat options: more homes with central heating, thermostat-free electric blankets, and cheaper electric heating pads. Today, China and India are the largest suppliers of hot water bottles. In the U.S., the market changed but the belief did not change. According to the National Feet Foundation at <a href="https://www.sleep.org/?fbclid=IwAR1XwckQrRAHeB3uysFc1JqPCr6o5u_s1PJBHTfwMloBD4rxk6LfsXvo_Zw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sleep.org</a>, “The relationship between warm hands and feet and falling asleep may be what’s behind the age-old belief that placing a hot water bottle at the foot of the bed is good for sleep.”

Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Self Emancipated and Enslaved People in Kentucky (SEEK) Project</strong> is a partnership between several faculty with the University of Kentucky Libraries (UKL) and the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies (CIBS). Since 2021, the SEEK team has developed a student-focused evaluation and clipping workflow that has resulted in the collection of hundreds of escaped slave ads published in historic Kentucky newspapers. During the late 18th through the mid-19th centuries, the Commonwealth of Kentucky saw significant movement of fugitive slaves seeking freedom. These migrations were widely documented in fugitive slave advertisements in local newspapers published throughout the state. UK Students review and clip fugitive slave advertisements from these historic Kentucky newspapers to create the content available here.<br /><br />To assist in searching the ads, choose from these terms<br /><br /><ul><li>Enslaved</li>

Description
An account of the resource
<strong>Self Emancipated and Enslaved People in Kentucky (SEEK) Project</strong> is a partnership between several faculty with the University of Kentucky Libraries (UKL) and the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies (CIBS). Since 2021, the SEEK team has developed a student-focused evaluation and clipping workflow that has resulted in the collection of hundreds of escaped slave ads published in historic Kentucky newspapers. During the late 18th through the mid-19th centuries, the Commonwealth of Kentucky saw significant movement of fugitive slaves seeking freedom. These migrations were widely documented in fugitive slave advertisements in local newspapers published throughout the state. UK Students review and clip fugitive slave advertisements from these historic Kentucky newspapers to create the content available here.<br /><br />To assist in searching the ads, choose from these terms<br /><br /><ul><li>Enslaved</li>

Dead Flies Wanted!
Description
An account of the resource
In May of 1912, the Paris, KY Civic League executed what was thought to be a brilliant plan to exterminate flies. The organization offered cash prizes to boys and girls who turned in the largest number of dead flies by June 8, 1912. Supposedly, the plan had been used successfully in a number of U.S. cities, and Cincinnati, OH was conducting their campaign at the same time as Paris. Leading up to June 8th, the dead flies would be turned in weekly, and the Paris Civic League would pay each child 10 cents per pint of dead flies. Each cache was to be turned in at the basement of the Paris Public Library on Saturdays between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. There would be a committee in the basement that would keep an accurate record of the quantity of dead flies turned in by each child. On the day of the deadline, June 8, 1912, the boy or girl who turned in the most dead flies would receive the prize of $10. The second place prize was $5. The third place prize was $3, 4th place $2, and 5th place $1. After the distribution of the prizes, the Paris Civic League would continue to pay 10 cents per pint of dead flies until further notice. The timing of the dead flies campaign was said to be early, before the flies started breeding. The newspaper article announcing the dead flies campaign gave tips on the types of traps and techniques for enticing, catching, and killing flies. “Those caught with sticky fly paper cannot be used.” Today, we may read about the dead flies campaigns with disbelief. But, it was not widely known in 1912 that it was a health risk to encourage children to catch, kill, and collect dead flies. Flies are loaded with bacteria and are carriers of typhoid fever, cholera, and dysentery. There are much healthier ways to get rid of flies than was attempted in 1912.

Dishwasher Machine Sales
Description
An account of the resource
The 1896 attached article was for the recruitment of persons in the Mount Sterling, KY area to sell Mound City Dish Washers. The making of dish washers [two words] was not new in 1896. The first dish washer was invented and patented in 1850 by Joel Houghton. It was made of wood with a wheel that splashed water over the dishes. The Lavadora dishwasher was invented in 1858. In 1860, inventor L. A. Alexander patented a device with a hand crank and gear that allowed for the spinning of racked dishes through a tub of water. Neither the dishwashers nor the addition of the crank and gear worked very well. A more successful hand-operated mechanical dishwasher was invented in 1887 in Shelbyville, IL, by Josephine Cochrane, a wealthy socialite, and George Butters, a mechanic. Josephine Cochrane is often credited as the original inventor of the dishwasher. Still, the sale of dishwashers was few, very few. Washing dishes by hand had worked just fine for centuries and it did not require the handsome cost of a new hand-powered gadget. It was not until the 1950s that there were steady domestic sales of dishwashers among the wealthy. They were portable, small, cabinet-top appliances. Dishwashers were still being developed as electric kitchen appliances with a standardized size and shape. By the 1970s, the dishwasher had become more affordable to U.S. and Western European households. In the 1980s, it became common to have a space reserved in new kitchens for the floor model dishwasher. In the 1990s, manufacturers began adding energy saving features and variable washing times. Still, there was the anti-dishwasher advocates/movement, and not every home in the U.S. had or has a dishwasher appliance; the latest statistics show that 65% of the U.S. households have a dishwasher appliance [<a href="Statista.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Statista.com</a>].

Ephraim McDowell House
Description
An account of the resource
What would become the McDowell House, was originally a brick home that was constructed 1792-1795 in Danville, KY. Dr. Ephraim McDowell (1771-1830), a physician and surgeon from Virginia, purchased the structure in 1802 and had additions made to the home. It was within the McDowell House where on Christmas Day in 1809 the first recognized ovariotomy was performed (the removal of one or both ovaries). The patient was Jane Todd Crawford (1763-1842), she had a large ovarian tumor. It was an experimental surgery without all of the modern-day anesthesia and sterilization knowledge and solutions. Dr. McDowell had improved his surgical technique for this particular surgery by performing ovariotomies on enslaved women. Jane Todd Crawford survived the operation. Prior patients, operated on elsewhere, had died. A description of Jane Todd Crawford’s surgery was published by Dr. McDowell in 1817. This was after he had performed other ovary-related surgeries. When Dr. McDowell died in 1830, his home was sold. In the attached newspaper clip is a caption below the picture stating that the house was sold again in 1901. It was a public sale. There had been an attempt to raise funds to restore the home, but the campaign was not successful. In 1935, the Kentucky Medical Association purchased the home, turned it over to the state, and the home was restored by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The house would change hands a few more times, and today the McDowell House Museum, Inc. is open for tours.

Description
An account of the resource
“Prove All Things, Hold Fast That Which Is Good”, adorned the masthead of the Louisville paper known as the Examiner. Its first issue rolled off the presses on June 19, 1847. The four-page abolitionist weekly was formed by Cincinnati lawyer and editor John Champion Vaughan along with four other men: Fortunatus Cosby, Jr., Thomas Hopkins Shreve, Rev. John Healy Heywood, and Noble Butler.
Vaughan was a Unitarian from South Carolina who freed his deceased father’s slaves before moving north to Ohio. His first foray into the newspaper business came in 1845 as co-editor of Cassius Clay’s emancipationist newspaper, the True American. It was printed in Cincinnati after Clay was burned out of his Lexington, Kentucky, printing office by pro-slavery mobs. The True American proved too controversial to last even in Northern territory. It folded in 1846.
Backed by prominent Ohio Republican and anti-slavery lawyer Salmon P. Chase, Vaughan quickly found kindred spirits among the First Unitarian congregation of Louisville, and it was there that he moved his operation. Together with fellow Unitarians Cosby and Shreve--whose name never appeared on the masthead to avoid a conflict of interest given Shreve’s job at the Louisville Journal -- the men shared editorial responsibility for the Examiner. Heywood and Butler, lending their fervent support from the beginning, became co-editors when Vaughan left the paper in 1848 to become more politically active nationally.
Vaughan had initially agreed to take over the True American’s subscription list, but he and his partners decided to change the name of the newspaper to avoid Clay’s highly negative reputation. They wanted to build a strong readership base of anti-slavery sympathizers without inciting a rebellion, and they did not address blacks directly in their writings. Rather than focus on Unitarian doctrine outright, the Examiner centered on the values of peace, emancipation, and political neutrality and covered economic and educational affairs for both blacks and whites. The paper included national news as well. It was a fortuitous moment to begin such a newspaper as the Kentucky legislature was considering constitutional amendments that could directly affect its future as a slaveholding state. Despite strong moral and financial support from northern abolitionist groups, a non-confrontational journalistic style, and the heightened awareness of the problem of slavery in Kentucky, in less than three years the Examiner, like the True American before it, folded. In their final issue on December 8, 1849, the editors asked, “Shall the paper live or die?” offering the possibility of a reduced publication from weekly to monthly or less. It was not to be.
After the collapse of the Examiner, Vaughan continued his career as an abolitionist and newspaperman. In 1856, he published the Chicago Weekly Tribune. By 1858, he had followed his anti-slavery consciousness to “bloody Kansas” where he became editor and publisher of the Daily Times in Leavenworth. Vaughan even served in the Union army in Kansas during the Civil War. Shreve died of tuberculosis in 1853. Rev. Heywood and Butler published the South West Journal of Schools in 1855-56, while Cosby went on to work for President Abraham Lincoln as counsel to Geneva in 1861.

One of the earliest capitols was Fort Boonesborough in the late 1770s where the first unofficial Kentucky Legislature met. After that meeting, in 1780, the Virginia Legislature put its foot down and declared the Kentucky area was still Virginia territory. A century later, the Old Seminary in Danville, KY was thought to have been the first capitol building (pictured in the attached newspaper article). In spite of what the Virginia Legislature had decided, the first constitutional conventions were held in Danville, KY from 1785-1792, there was a push for Kentucky to separate from Virginia. When statehood was firmly established, the first official Kentucky Legislative session in 1792 declared the city of Frankfort, KY as the permanent capital city. Not everyone agreed. The following year, the Kentucky Legislature met in a frame house on Wapping Street in Frankfort. The first permanent capitol building was constructed in 1794 and it was destroyed by fire in 1813. There would be other temporary and permanent capitol buildings in Frankfort, and all the while there was the ongoing factions arguing for Lexington, Louisville, or Frankfort as the capital city. The arguing was to no avail concerning Lexington and Louisville, Frankfort remained the capital city. The present capitol building was completed in 1910 at 700 Capital Avenue in Frankfort, KY.
SPELLING NOTES: The city where the seat of government is located is spelled “capital.” A building occupied by the state legislature is spelled “capitol.”

Governor Takes A Wife
Description
An account of the resource
Governor John Crepps Wickliffe Beckham (1869-1940) was the first Kentucky governor to marry while in office. In 1900 he wed Jean Raphael Fuqua (1879-1962) from Owensboro, KY. At the time, Beckham was the youngest Kentucky governor and was sometimes referred to as the “Boy Governor.” He was the 34th and 35th Kentucky Governor, though at that time Kentucky governors could not serve consecutive terms. But, it was determined by the courts that since Beckham, the Lieutenant Governor, had not been a candidate or won the office of Governor in 1899, but had completed the deceased Governor William Goebel’s term, therefore Beckham was eligible to run for the office as a candidate in 1903. Beckham had also served four terms in the Kentucky House of Representatives and would go on to serve as a U.S. Senator. February-April of 1904, Beckham County, KY, was named in honor of J. C. W. Beckham. However, the county was dissolved after the Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled that the boundaries of the county were out of compliance. So, Beckham County, Oklahoma was named in his honor in 1907.

Zazel’s real name was Rossa Matilda Richter (1863-1937). She was billed as fearless and as the first human cannonball. Rossa M. Richter was born in London, England. She was a gymnast, trapeze artist, actress, singer, and aerialist. She was not actually the first human cannonball, that honor went to Lulu in 1873. Lulu was the son of William Leonard Hunt [The Great Farini], a Canadian who had created the stunt of firing a girl from a cannon. Though, Lulu was not a girl, he was Hunt’s son dressed up like a girl. Lulu’s true identity was revealed when he was taken to the hospital after he was injured during a performance. Hunt needed a replacement and Rossa M. Richter’s parent or parents signed her up. Thus, Zazel was born. Her cannonball career started in 1877 when she was 14-years-old and was launched from a cannon at the Royal Aquarium in London, England. There was concern for her safety, and when England enacted legislation against dangerous acrobatic stunts, Zazel and Hunt took her act to other European countries and the United States. She later toured with the P. T. Barnum Circus, and in 1881, at the age of 18, she was with the Shelby, Pullman, and Hamilton Shows performing in Hopkinsville, KY. Rossa M. Richter would continue as a performer until 1891. She would marry George Oscar Starr, a P. T. Barnum press agent. Together they created the Starr Opera Company in 1886. Rossa also promoted safety net education, proving the reliability of the apparatuses by jumping out of buildings to be safely caught in the waiting nets. Her career as a performer ended after a devastating accident during a high wire act in New Mexico in 1891. She fell and a pole fell on her. She was transported from New Mexico to a New York hospital and spent months in a full body cast. She and her husband later returned to England.

Ice Pick
Description
An account of the resource
The ice pick (two words) of today is a hand tool that was originally used to break up or chip ice. The one-point ice pick resembles the scratch awl, a woodworker’s tool. Both tools have a handle that holds a shank that ends in a spike. Ice picks became more common as kitchen utensils with the invention of the “ice box” by Thomas Moore in 1802. The ice pick was needed to break up the blocks and slabs of ice used in the “ice box” for keeping food cold. The ice box predated modern-day refrigerators. There has always been some type of an ice pick-like tool available to humans who handle ice. The term “ice pick” came into use in the mid-1800s, and there have been many patents meant to improve the ice pick structure. Ice picks have also been used as weapons. The most notorious fame is the use of ice picks by Murder Incorporated, a New York organized crime group in the 1930s and 1940s. The use of ice picks as weapons dates back to prior centuries, even in Kentucky. In 1885, there was an ice pick stabbing at the Guilfoyle Saloon in Maysville, KY (see attached article). Ice picks were also used by medical professionals for brain surgeries (frontal lobotomy through the eye socket), sometimes leaving the patient with permanent brain damage. The procedure was also termed "Ice Pick Lobotomy." During WWII, the production of ice picks was one of the household items that ceased due to the military need for metal. The ban was slightly lifted in 1943 when only 50% of the 1941 production of ice picks was allowed. Ice picks were still needed by households. With the development of modern refrigeration, ice picks continue to be purchased today, with some displayed as collector items. The price of a one-point ice pick ranges from one dollar for a common brand, up to many thousands of dollars for unique items such as the Stephen Webster Tequila Lore Vulture Sterling Silver Ice Pick. No matter the cost, in some states, carrying an ice pick on your person is illegal and equivalent to carrying a deadly weapon.

Kentucky’s Foreign-Born Population, 1900
Description
An account of the resource
At the conclusion of the 1896 presidential election, William McKinley (R) had defeated William J Bryan (D). Some felt that it was the “foreign-born votes” that had given McKinley a major advantage. Attached to this post is a paragraph from the full article printed in the January 1897 issue of the Bee newspaper in Earlington, KY. According to the article, votes from Kentucky were 218,171 for McKinley and 217,890 for Bryan. Of those Kentucky votes, it was said that 29,816 foreign born persons had voted for McKinley only. Three years later, there was much interest in the 1900 Census of the United States population. For Kentucky, 50,249 or 2.3% of the total state population was noted as “foreign born.” The term, as used by the Census Office, did not include those who were born in an African country and had been enslaved in the United States. Below are the continents and countries of origins for those enumerated in Kentucky as having been born outside the U. S. when the 1900 Census was completed:
Africa-24, Asia-160, Atlantic Islands-4, Australia-57, Austria-475, Belgium-77, Bohemia-52, Canada (English)-1,072, Canada (French)-136, Central America-56, China-46, Cuba-15, Denmark-77, England-3,256, Europe-82, Finland-6, France-983, Germany-27,555, Greece-24, Holland-136, Hungary-146, India-10, Ireland-9,874, Italy-679, Japan-3, Luxemburg-4, Mexico-19, Norway-34, Pacific Islands-2, Poland (Austrian)-16, Poland (German)-80, Poland (Russian)-582, Poland (unknown)-40, Portugal-1, Roumania-22, Russia-1,076, Scotland-793, South America-7, Spain-21, Sweden-222, Switzerland-1,929, Turkey-17, Wales-337, West Indies-13*, Other Countries-16, Born at Sea-63. *Except Cuba and Porto Rico

Description
An account of the resource
The Lexington Standard was founded by William Decker (W.D.) Johnson in 1892. The four-page weekly is today regarded as one of the most notable African-American newspapers in the country, although only a handful of issues are known to have survived. Johnson used the paper to assert his views on African American life, civil rights, and religious awareness but, after just five years, in 1897, he sold the paper to Robert Charles O’Hara (R.C.O.) Benjamin.
A native of St. Kitts Island in the West Indies, Benjamin came to America and quickly established himself as a well-known lawyer, author, and, journalist. Before coming to the Lexington Standard, he wrote for, edited, or owned more than 11 African American newspapers and worked for a variety of other newspapers around the country, the Daily Sun--a white-owned paper in Los Angeles and New York’s Progressive American among them.
Benjamin was an outspoken critic of American segregation and Jim Crow laws, and he had a strong interest in politics. The Standard was a perfect fit for him. To be sure, Benjamin had aroused concern from both whites and blacks alike well before coming to the Standard. He was at once criticized and beloved for his frankness, as it was extreme for the period. Benjamin’s aggressive and confrontational tactics had forced him to flee several locales, but he would never leave Lexington. On October 2, 1900, Benjamin got into an argument with a white precinct worker, Michael Moynihan, over voter registration for local African American citizens. That same evening, Moynihan killed Benjamin on a Lexington street. Claiming self-defense, Moynihan was acquitted of the murder, even though he had shot Benjamin in the back more than six times.
After Benjamin’s death, editors came and went, but the Lexington Standard never again enjoyed its former popularity. In 1908, W.D. Johnson returned to the paper hoping to reverse its decline. The difficulties continued, prompting Johnson to sell the Standard in 1912 to three local men: Rev. A.W. Davis, former pastor of Lexington’s Constitution Street Christian Church, who became editor; Prof. D. L. Reid, who served as secretary; and Ed Willis, the superintendent of the famed Patchen Wilkes thoroughbred stock farm, who acted as treasurer. The new management changed the name of the paper to the Lexington Weekly News “on account of financial and other troubles of The Standard,” and the first issue appeared on March 15, 1912.
Despite these changes, the paper’s misfortunes continued. By May 31, Willis announced that he had bought out Davis and Reid owing to “bad management.” Willis implored the African American community in the Bluegrass region to support the Weekly News through subscriptions and advertisements. Willis also urged readers to be mindful of the coming presidential election in which he openly supported William Howard Taft’s Republican ticket. Like its predecessor, only three issues of the Lexington Weekly News are known to have survived, all from 1912. It is unclear precisely when publication ceased or why.
