From the Hazel Green Herald - Feb. 1, 1900

Hon. A. F. Byrd is at Salyersville court.

J. C. Hurst is in Frankfort attending the contest.

J. F. Vansant was in Mt. Sterling first of the week on business.

Hon. A. H. Stamper is in Louisville this week on legal business.

Master Tom Stamper, son of G. B. Stamper, is suffering with a fractured 
arm caused by a window falling on it.

The grand jury at the last term at the court returned  68 indictments, 
mostly for selling whiskey and carrying weapons.

Wm. Clark, Wm., Toliver and Jeff Toliver passed through town Monday on 
route to Louisville to look over their interests in the U. S. court.

C. C. Hanks conveyed Jas. McQuinn to the Frankfort penitentiary last 
week under sentence of one year for stabbing and wounding Boone Tyrell.

B. L. Nevill, our popular dentist, left Wednesday for Olive Hill and 
other points on the C & O and will remain away for several days, but will be 
here again in April.

J. W. Haulsey, Jas. Drake, G. W. Haulsey and Ben. Sewell have returned 
from Frankfort where they had been as witnesses in behalf of the republicans 
in the pending contest, and report everything quiet and strictly 
democratic.

The prisoners confined in jail have become quite a nuisance by jeering 
at every body that passes the streets.  Saturday evening they made some 
jeering remarks at Charley Smith, who proceeded to pull his revolver 
and discharge four shots through the window, which created quite a stir 
among the prisoners, and since that time, the only noise you can hear in the 
vicinity of the jail is the faint murmur of the familiar hymn, "Our 
friends wait over the way".
