Waterloo Semi Weekly Courier Aug. 17, 1906 Ominous News From Kentucky Thousands of the so-called seventeen year locusts are coming up from the ground and literally overrunning the land about Glasgow, Ky. Their wings bear figures like unto the letters "W. W." says a Glasgow correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. By the superstitious, this is regarded as an omen of "want and war." It is further asserted that on the last appearance of the locusts in 1889, their wings bore the letters "P.P.," betokening "peace and prosperity." ============================= Cambridge City (Indiana) Tribune Nov. 5, 1903 Hall of Fame "R.T. Daniel, who owns many blocks in Spokane, Wash., most of the town of Trail, in British Columbia, and 10,000 acres of land in Cuba, left Glasgow, Ky. twenty-five years ago with just $1 in his pocket." ========================== The Newark (Ohio) Advocate Oct. 31, 1907 Constant Rain on a Spot Kentucky Interested in Shower Only Covering Twenty-five Square Feet The residents of Glasgow, Ky., have been interested during the past few weeks by the strange phenomenon of a fine mist of rain which has been falling in a space of about twenty-five feet square. Since the report was first circulated the scene has been visited by several hundred people, says a Glasgow special dispatch to the New York Times. The space where the is is falling includes the spot where Bill Bartly was slain last May by his brother in law, Van Smith, and since it was first discovered there has been no interruption day or night. Among those who have visited the place during the past few days were State Senator J.C. Gillingwater [sic - Gillenwater] and J.A. Conyers, connected with the United State's Marshal's Office at Louisville. Both men walked slowly through the mist and said that their coats and hats plainly showed the effects of the water. =================== SCKY Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=south-central-kentucky Barren Co Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kybarren Sandi's Puzzlers: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/gorin/puz.html
