JASON HARMON: Political loyalty

Looking at some 1979 newspaper polling photographer clips, Jason Harmon was reminded of the political proclivities of the men and their opinions. "I thought everyone might enjoy this since election fever seems to be sweeping Adair County," he writes.

"My Grandpa is Nolan McGaha. Nolan and Pete Bailey were neighbors at Garlin. Pete's son even married Nolan's daughter. Granpa Nolan had also run for Magistrate once, but I think he lost."

Post-war auto parts were scarce in Columbia, but Western Auto mechanics were making every effort to repair vehicles with what they had
The classified ads in the April 24, 1946 edition of the Adair County News make for some interesting reading. Opportunities, services, and offers of reward abounded, as shown in the entries below.

It surely would be interesting to know who rented Mr. McKinney's garden & how much they paid; if anyone ever claimed Mr. Yates' liberal reward; who bought Mr. Heskamp's building; and how many folks heeded the plea from the Willis Pressing Shop!
