 "The Globe Register" debuted November 2, 1809, but lasted only a year before changing its name to "The Luminary", which in turn was sold and became "The Farmer's Chronicle" in 1822.In 1845, the name changed to "The Whig Chronicle"; and in 1852 it became "The Weekly Messenger", the largest circulated newspaper in Kentucky outside Louisville.The paper ended its run in 1862, presumably due to the onset of the American Civil War.
