FOUND AFTER TWENTY-FOR YEARS "TWO BROTHERS FIND EACH OTHER BY AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE NEWS" Mr. J.W. SHAW, a shoemaker here next door to J.W. SLACK"S, had a small advertisement in the News last week. The paper fell into the hands of ALEXANDER SHAW, of Henderson County, a brother of SHAW"S . The brothers both fought in the war, J.W. on the confederate side and ALEXANDER on the federal. They met for the last time at the battle of perryville over twenty-five years ago. Since that time each supposed the other dead. Through the advertisement of Mr. SHAW"S business in the News, ALEXANDER discovered that his brother was living and immediately wrote him a letter. Both of these old soldiers are delighted to have found each other and the news is delighted to have been in the medium of discovery. TURNED LOOSE T.J. FLETCHER, who has been in jail here for over a year for selling liquor in violation of the prohibition law was released last monday. He was serving his fines out at the rate of one dollar a day under the judgement of the court, when discussion of the court of appeals was found by his attorney H.T. WILSON which requires that all violaters of local option and prohibition laws when fines are served out in jail shall be at the rate of $2 a day. As soon as Judge GARDENER was shown the decision FLETCHER was immediately released as under the ruling of the highest court he had more than served out his time. Our readers will remember that FLETCHER cmae here as an employ of the H. & E. contractors and that he killed W. HENRY MORIA, colored in an Illegal saloon here for which he was aquitted. FLETCHER is said to be among the best family's in West Virginia, highly educated and intelligent, and that he was brought to his degraded condition by drink. As soon as he was released from jail he left the county. BIG CLIFTY Big Clifty- Feb. 6th-- Our little town has enjoyed peace and quiet for several months until last Monday when several fellows got to imbibing a little to freely and mixing Owensboro whiskey with Big Clifty whiskey and engaged in an altercation in which one poor fellow, HARDIN HATFIELD received three severe stabs with a knife, one in the breast, below the heart, one in the side, one in the back. Have not heard all the particulars as to how the fracas was brought about, but it seems that JOE COOK , SAM KEYSINGER and ---FULKERSON were arrested by Sheriff WOOLDRIDGE, the others making their escape. They have had no trial yet as HATFIELD is in a very dangerous condition and the authorities are waiting to see what the result will be of the cutting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- X-Message: #3 Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2000 18:06:41 -0400 From: "Kelly Courtney-Blizzard" Subject: OBIT: Beulah May Key, d. 1999, Bell Co July 19, 1999 BEULAH MAY KEY Beulah May Key, 78, died Saturday, July 17, 1999, at her residence.
