The Mercury, Thursday June 27th, 1912, Carlisle, Nicholas Co., Ky. Snap Shots (By G. R. Keller) Lexington is reaping her reward. Thirteen years ago john McNamara shot and killed in cold blood and with out any cause, Jacob Keller. McNamara was admitted to bail in the sum of $1000, and of course forfeited it and ran away. Saturday the unarmed Sheriff of Fayette County was shot on the most public street in the city, Main Street, opposite the Phoenix Hotel---and the shooter was held to bail in the sum of $1000, though the Sheriff is badly wounded and may die. It is believed by many that the policeman shot the Sheriff because the latter had been exceedingly active in bringing McNamara to justice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for some reason parts of the above article just does not jive with me but it is as written jd ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNIQUE HOSPITAL Dr. W.

Our school house, which has been undergoing repairs, is completed, our school will open next Monday. Died---Mrs. E. G. Flora, nee Katherine Myers, daughter of the late H. B. Myers, on Tuesday last at her home in this place, of complication of diseases,. She had been a patient sufferer for many months and leaves a husband and three children, two sons and a daughter, also brothers, sisters and a mother to mourn her loss. The family have our deepest sympathy in this their sad bereavement. Our loss is heaven's gain. Weep not dear friends though she is gone, The voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in the home, Which never can be filled. While many ex-Confederates are somewhat disgruntled at the delay in payment of their pensions, the "Yanks" are suffering a like inconvenience in not receiving their checks this quarter. If the government------either state or nation----is going to pay its old soldiers that ought to do it promptly, as time is mighty short with the old boys. Got it in the Neck Word having been given out that Dr. H. C. Kehoe, of Flemingsburg, was slated for appointment as Superintendent of the Asylum for the Insane at Lexington, a bitter attack upon the Doctor has been begun by those opposing his selection. The Doctor has the baking of the strong political cabal and will doubtless win out. His brother, the ex-Congressman is championing his cause and he has joined the ruling powers in the state he will be of great assistance. LATER Dr. H. C. Kehoe was turned down in his aspirations fort he appointment as Superintendent for the Insane at Lexington. The Doctor depended on promises by the big political promisers and got it in the neck. It might not have been so bad had he not persuaded his ex-Congressman brother to transfer his allegiance to his enemies and desert his old time friends. There are a lot of other people who will get like treatment, and we cannot sympathize with them much.
