By Mike Watson A Kentucky Tragedy--[From the Columbia (Ky.) Spectator, Feb. 29: To the long and ghastly catalogue of crime that is daily thrust before the reader's eye, we add another chapter--About twelve o'clock on Sunday there entered this town from an easterly direction a male and female rider.

After making some small purchases at a confectionery in this place, and inquiring the nearest and best route to Horse Cave, the riders disappeared from town, taking the Glasgow road. Subsequently these persons proved to be Galen E. Taylor of Casey County, and the wife of George Lannum, of the same county, all neighbors.

Tommy Druen: Community involvement a lost art? Previous Column: The rubble or our sins? By Tommy Druen Rabbit holes, they abound in this digital age, with depths that Lewis Carroll himself could not have fathomed. On restless nights when my insomnia grips me, I often venture into these interconnected tunnels that the internet offers, often questioning how in the world I made it to whatever is before me. During one of these late-night escapades, I stumbled upon a captivating treasure. The Scott County Public Library might as well have placed a huge "DRINK ME" label on the link to where they have digitized and made available local newspapers spanning from 1816 through the 1980s. Like Alice, I couldn't help myself and soon found myself in the wee hours, navigating a historical roadmap of Georgetown. Akin to taking a core sample, I sifted through papers from each decade, witnessing the shifting sands of time. While all were interesting, the 1950s had a unique charm. It was far enough back to be slightly foreign, but still new enough that I felt as though I could cope if I was magically transported back to that era. Maybe that's just because I've watched Back to the Future a few too many times, though. Poring through these newspapers, I came across articles that were amusing or astounding to our modern tastes.
