    3. Hazel Green Herald - Sept. 29, 1904 Born, to the wife of R.P. Kash, of Fenchburg on Saturday morning, September 24, a boy. Next Tuesday is registration day, and every voter within the corporate limits of Campton, Lee City, and Hazel Green must register or lose his suffrage. Sylvester Adams, who shot and killed his brother, John Adams, on Stillwater, a few months ago, was arraigned for trial yesterday in the Wolfe Circuit Court., but at this writing the verdict of the jury has not been returned. However, it is generally believed that he will get a life sentence of be hung. The funeral of Mrs. Roslyn Lindon, Dave Lindon, and Howard Little, was preached Sunday by Dr. Gevedon, Rev. F.P. Wilson, Dr. G.M. Center, and Rev. Henry Taylor. There was not less than 1,000 people present for the occasion, and "dinner on the ground." For all the multitude. It was one of the largest funerals ever seen in this county, the crowd testifying the esteem in which the deceased were held. Will Hobbs, who shot and killed his half brother, James Lacy, on Gillmore Creek, last spring a year ago about the treatment of a horse they were working, was tried in the Wolfe Circuit Court on Monday, adjudged a lunatic, and sent to the Eastern Asylum at Lexington. Apropos, it is rumored that Hobbs has always said that if he ever got in trouble of any kind he would "play crazy" and escape punishment. But there may be no truth in it. (from the June 11, 1903 paper) Will Hobbs, the young man who killed Jim lacy, his half brother, one day last week, that night went insane, was tried next day, and sent to the asylum at Lexington. His actions, when he came to realize the enormity of the crime, were those of a madman, and it was with difficulty that he was kept from killing all of the family. Will Taulbee, candidate for re-election as Superintendent of Schools, was in town yesterday and told " our man about town" That he had just finished visiting the schools of the county, which he found in good condition generally, and incidentally remarked that there were 3, 766 children of school age in the county, all white except 61.
