Paradise, USA - Confluence of Cool Springs Crk & Tributary #11 2018-05-16 - Gradyville, Paradise, U.S.A. - Photo by Guy Babin. This shot is the confluence of Cool Springs Creek, and its tributary #11 (according to fancy topo maps). It's the threshold to our place that's crossed if you're payin' a welcome visit. Just to show ya', it "don't" rain the same in everyone's holler. There's some with hay down, that'd prefer the clear branch, and others the chocolate, on the dry side. Either way, it's all good in Gradyville, Paradise USA. - Guy Babin Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

(Ad) Vote for Jordan Burton for Adair County PVA 2018-05-16 - Columbia, Adair County, KY - Photo campaign photo from the candidate, Jordan Burton. To the citizens of Adair County, My name is Jordan Burton and I will be on the Republican ticket on May 22nd as a candidate for Property Value Administrator. My beautiful wife of four years is Trista Burton. We have 2 children; Cason and Audrey Burton. My parents are Dale and Rhonda Burton, and my grandparents are Ranel and Kathleen Curry, and Peggy (and the late Charles) Burton. I have been a citizen of Adair County all my life. I currently serve as the Youth Sunday school teacher and worship chorister at Millerfield Brethren in Christ Church, where I have faithfully attended since I was a child. I graduated from Adair County High School in 2010 and attended one semester at Somerset Community College. I am currently employed as a Materials Coordinator for Circor Pumping Technologies, also known as IMO Pump. There, I am responsible for invoicing and shipping customer orders. My role as a Materials Coordinator requires paying close attention to detail and being very organized, as will the job of PVA. The inspiration for me to run for PVA came when a man on a Christian radio station made a statement about how if more Christian people would step up and run for office at every level of government, what a difference it could make in this country. As a Christian, I believe that the values that I hold most dear will serve you best if I'm elected as PVA. As a working-class citizen, I understand the importance of how our property taxes need to be handled. That is why if I am elected as PVA, I promise to treat everyone fairly, honestly, and with the respect you deserve. I simply ask for your vote on May 22nd and may God bless you! I welcome your comments, questions and calls - 270-250-2594. /s/ - Jordan Burton Paid for by the candidate, Jordan Burton Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

(Comments re article 97317 Query Anyone remember Inis McKinney winning baby contest). A search of the county fair issues of the Adair County News, 1947 and 1948, revealed little about the baby contests, except a photo in the issue of 17 September 1947 of that year's winner, Miss Jolene Bryant, which I am sending.
