Jason Harmon: On Putnam vs. Putman "Putman" and "Camel" both have their roots in misspellings following mispronunciations. How the area name(s) came to be; how the Campbell name was also altered at times By Jason Harmon Actually Tennessee's Putnam County lent it's name to the Adair County Putnam/Putman Community. I have always assumed that over the course of 140 Years the local dialect has changed the name from Putnam to Putman. During the Civil War, to avoid Confederate sympathies in Tennessee, the family of William Pickett Campbell migrated from Putnam County, TN to this particular area of Adair County.

Blessing of the Animals: Link to story Animals went were blessed by Rev. Cathy Cook, the pastor of "The Church Without Walls," yesterday, June 24, at the Catawba, NC, Animal Shelter. The story may seem very familiar to anyone who's watched the British sitcom, "The Vicar of Dibley," when Pastor Geraldine Granger blessed the animals inside the St. Barnabas Church in Dibley church, to the dismay of Parish Council stiffneck David Horton. KET doesn't carry "The Vicar of Dibley," the second best British sit-com, (to "Last of the Summer Wine)" opting instead for the dud "Are You Being Served," and the show which could be loved were it not for the star character, "Keeping Up Appearances," and Jublileeing viewers to death.
