Clippings from our past
Editor’s Note: We are republishing excerpts from the 1891 Woodford Sun. The Constitutional Convention of 1890-91, which enacted the constitution which remains intact today with numerous amendments since, began meeting in Sept. 1890, and was presided over by Ambassador Cassius M. Clay of Madison County. The excerpts related to this will be the Clippings focus. For historical purposes, we reprint the Clippings “warts and all,” and so the presence of derogatory and racist stereotypical words are.
