Save the Courthouse Comment: Make entrance to cave

Save the Courthouse. Do we have a ghost? story with pictures by Linda Waggener

By Ed Waggener

Bobby Jessie of Del City, OK, called this morning with a suggestion for the Old Courthouse. "Why not make an entrance to the cave under it and charge admission?" he asked.

It was an idea worthy of the Great Thinkers of the Ages, even Joe Moore.



Mr. Jessie said that he had been told about the cave under the courthouse by a professor at Lindsey Wilson College. "She made us think that someday, the whole Square might fall in," he remembers, "the courthouse with it."

It was an inspired moment Bobby D. Jessie thinking of an Adair County county challenge to Mammoth Cave while way off in in the Territory of Oklahoma. The cave entrance should not be much of an engineering feat.Having our own downtown cave would mean that our sister city of Horse Cave, KY, has scant to crow about over Columbia save a world class book store, a good live performance theatre, and a railroad.

Small advantage if a ghost be found in the courthouse. Columbia will be at the apex in the high stakes chase for dollars from busloads of Canadian tourists.
