Description | The Frankfort Weekly News and Roundabout, a Democratic paper from the Frankfort Printing Company, left a mark on Frankfort, Kentucky, during its brief existence from 1908 to 1909. Following the footsteps of its predecessor, it retained popular features like agricultural reports and personal notes while introducing innovations like an events calendar and "Pointed Paragraphs" for advertising advice. It embraced the baseball craze with "Diamond Dust," covering local teams and the Bluegrass League. Editor Archie Dunlap's original column, "The Optimist," provided lighthearted commentary, occasionally shifting to "The Pessimist" before returning. Despite its short run, the paper made a notable contribution to Frankfort's media landscape. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1908 of this newspaper. |
