The Cadiz Record is a weekly newspaper (published on Wednesdays) in Cadiz, Kentucky (Trigg County). It has fewer than 5,000 subscribers. [1]
History
[edit]It started publishing December 31, 1880 as the Kentucky Telephone.[2] By 1899, the paper had a circulation of 1,375 copies.[3]
In 1898, the newspaper was purchased by Henry R. Lawrence in partnership with George H. Pike. Later that year, there was a fire at the building. After purchasing new printing equipment, the name of the newspaper was changed to the Cadiz Record.[4]
Under the direction of Lawrence, the newspaper was a democratic publication.[5] For example, he used it as a platform to fight for justice in the Black Patch Tobacco Wars.[6]
