Kentucky Lady Sheriff Expected To Tame Moon-Shining Mountaineers
Barbourville Kentucky December 1 Up Ragged Kentucky a seatentge wen até mountaineers the Won On writ emt in jail Rio County heart of the mountain region hay upset tradition again by electing Mrs Jennie Lee Mealer lady sheriff for the next four years. The county already had the Hatton's only woman jailer. She's a slight little woman the lady sheriff 40 years old and mother of six children. By training she is a bookkeeper and stenographer but the quick vigor of her campaign leaves little doubt that she can handle a mountain sheriff job in a fashion few men could. Mrs Walker who is a great great ancester of Robert E Lee got into the race when her husband lost a court contest for the nomination. Quietly she filed her petition as an independent candidate. She didn't pass out any cigars but rallied up sleeves and made a hurried canvass of the county. She sought out every vote possible and put her plea before mountain folk up and down the valleys. Her opponent discovered too late that he had a whirlwind on his hands instead of just some of the womenfolks foolishness and Mrs Walker won by more than 300 votes a big majority. She is familiar with the sheriffs pair her husband was chief deputy for seven years and her grandfather was sheriff for seven successive terms. As soon as she was elected she made her only announcement of policy it was: Only sober honest and fearless deputies will be employed. Knox county isn’t just sure but if the lady sheriff doesn’t make things buzz it will be disappointed.
