DR. W. H. DAUGHERTY.  In connection with Corinth enterprises, we present
a sketch of one of the most prominent citizens of the town, Dr. W. H.
Daugherty.  He is about 65 years of age and has always lived within five
miles of his present home.  He is a man of energy and enterprise,
distinctively aggressive in favor of any measure or principle he espouses.
He never waits to see if a measure is popular (he never courts popularity).
Is it right?  This decided in the affirmative he enters the fight to a
finish.  In religions matters, though reared a Calvinist, he is an
uncompromising member of the Christian Church, though ready ever to
contribute liberally to build and aid other churches.  Visit his town and
you see his footprints; churches built, a first-class, chartered school, a
bank that is a solid institution, and many other evidences of a live
business town.
     He has been president of the bank from its organization in 1890, in
fact, organized the corporation, and is also president of the school board
since its organization, spending money all the time for the school and
never receiving a cent dividend, though owning probably one-half of the
stock.  In politics a Democrat, though he often rejects a national
candidate whose platform he opposes--"a gold bug" of late years, and a
bitter opponent of what he calls the "new Democracy."  But always, and
under all circumstances for the Grant county Democrat against all
opponents.  A truer friend never lived, but a foe that never tires. Corinth
town and its prosperity has been his chief work for over twenty years.
     This county is indebted to Dr. Daugherty for the Owen county
"cut-off" (Corinth and Keefer precincts).  At his own expense he made the
survey, had bills posted, etc., went to Frankfort and stayed for weeks
until the bill was passed, and was signed by the Governor.  His town once
had ten bar-rooms, but for twenty years had had none, and legislation,
through his persistence has been so carefully enacted, that no bar-rooms
can ever likely be permitted in the town.  When a member of the Legislature
he acted on all questions as he believed was right.  He opposed the
Elliston turnpike law at Frankfort and at home, and still thinks he was
right on the pike question.  He voted for Senator Blackburn fifty-four
times, though opposed to his "Free Silver" ideas, and he would have voted
for him on any ballot to elect him, voting his party's wishes, not his
own preference.  The Doctor is not a rich man, but in easy circumstances.
He has no children, and was married forty years ago to Miss Belle Mozee,
of this county.
     He has used his means liberally for schools, churches and to educate
orphan boys.  No appeal for charity was ever refused a hearing by him.
A Royal Arch Mason, though he claims to be quite rusty in Masonry, and
says to be a Christian is enough.  He loves his country and thinks our
foreign affairs will soon be settled justly, and that a Democrat of the
Carlisle school will be president "some good day," and that free trade,
sound money and home rule will be the "shibboleth" of the people.
