April 26, 1884: According to The Comet, âThe East Tennessee Farmers Convention will meet at Knoxville, Tuesday, May 20th. Dr. Dobson is Vice President from Washington Co. and Geo. D. Taylor from Carter. It is hoped that good delegations will go from these two Counties.â
April 26, 1892: With a dateline from Johnson City, and a date of April 25, The Knoxville Journal alerted readers to a horrific story. âIda Grant, a young crippled girl and daughter of A.J. Grant, a blacksmith, who resides at Kingâs springs (sic), near this place, was outraged this afternoon by an unknown man. She was passing through a piece of woodland, when she was attacked by the fiend, who drew a revolver and threatened to kill her if she made a noise. In the tussle the girlâs clothes were torn nearly off. By the time she could report to any one the villain had made his escape. He is thought to be a well dressed (sic) young fellow who was seen drinking freely in the saloons here today.â
