Noted GWC Lexicographer sends definitive definition of Penhooker

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Penhooker- One who purchases a product such as livestock prior to the product getting to market. Cattle and hogs once they entered into the market and were put into pens had to be weighed and a sale bill would then be due to the market. Therefore the Penhooker buyers would seek to make an agreement to purchase in the parking lot before the seller could unload the livestock, thus hooking the market out of their sale bill.

Reader raises question about Post Office location

Shy Reader (Please do not use my name) writes
Ed, was this corner building (Photo) once the location of the Columbia post office as the article/photo states? I clearly remember the location of the old post office in the corner next to the Miller Hotel, now where Adair Co. Courthouse Annex stands. The P.O. moved from there to its newer location on Burkesville ST before it more recently moved to its present further-out location on Burkesville ST. Don't know why, but I just wondered if you remembered farther back than I do? -Shy Reader
Thanks, Shy Reader. Actually, I'm a little confused. I always remember being told it was, but I'll need still more clarification from "Jim," or Mike Watson or another bona fide Adair County historian to know for sure. -EW

Easter Thoughts: Memories of holiday of Vermont childhood

The church was glorious on Easter morning. Her mother's hand on the ivory keyboard of the pipe organ joined the splendid choir to make spirits soar. But Easter came through more forcefully on a walk in the still snowy woods with her father, where, in nature, there was an affirmation of spring and of the resurrection

By Sharon Whitehurst

The Easter Sundays of my lifetime have seldom been blessed with blue skies and gentle breezes. Early spring in the Champlain Valley of Vermont is a capricious season of grainy snow sulking in smeared swaths along muddy roadsides, of robins huddling against blasts of chilly wind, children squelching across soggy brown lawns.

JIM: The Columbia Post Office Building, 1907

By "Jim"

The Columbia Post Office Building, 1907

In early October, 1906, Mr. John Orion Russell (of Russell & Co. fame) "purchased a lot on the northeast side of the public square from the Sallee heirs," for which he paid the sum of $900, the equivalent of almost $22,000 in today's dollars.

A few days later, the October 17th News carried this announcement:

By Carol Perkins
I realized the first morning, while having breakfast in the dining room of the hotel, which overlooked the Sea of Galilee that I was a long way from home. Soon my friends and I would ride in a boat with many strangers and have worship service in the middle of the sea. This was no small event.

Quote of the Day: April 24, 2011

Making Plans
I've made making plans my life's work. So doing keeps my mind up and running without the strain of an actual load on it. And besides, I found out at an early age that if a fellow acts on his plans, 'hit don't give no relief.' Indeed, seems like soon as one plan is acted upon, two more pop up and and after a while, a fellow's mind gets plum worn down and foggy-like and there's no Geritol or Hadicol or Retonga or Dr. King's Marvelous Elixir for the brain. The Anonymous Philosopher, known but to CM.

Tom Chaney: No. R708 Think Globally, Act Locally

Of Writers and Their Books No. R708: Think Globally, Act Locally. First published in the Hart Co. News-Herald Sunday, 24 April 2005.
The next earlier column: Rising Tide on the Mississippi

By Tom Chaney

The slogan, "Think Globally, Act Locally" is an environmental call to action that has been a useful way to urge care for our habitat for decades. No good bemoaning the death of the Amazonian rain forests if one strips a hillside of trees for a house site in Hart County.

Bobby Spires recalls Great Adair Pinhooking practitioners

His father, Robert Spires, Ores Ferguson, Cajer Coomer, and Harold Mouser and other pinhookers provided a service, took risks -and sometimes, lickings
Comments re article 43903 Question Is pinhooking an art or a science

By Bob Spires

Having watched my Dad (Robert), Ores Ferguson, Cajer Coomer, Harold Mouser and others practice this skill many times, one day I asked my Dad why a farmer would sell outside the stockyard rather than sending his stock through the auction ring.

His answer was commonsense: The farmer gets cash on the spot; he doesn't have to wait hours for the auction when he could be doing other things; he doesn't have to pay the "sale bill" (auction commission); and he gets a guaranteed amount he might not get in the auction ring because of the risk in the sale climate on any day.

The pinhooker assumes the risk and the sale costs in hopes of making a profit. When that doesn't happen, my Dad and others would look at each other and say "Well, we took a lickin' but we'll keep on tickin." -Bob Spires, Murfreesboro, TN

More Penhooking tales from old Cane Valley days

It was considered a good thing to get one over on a penhooker, the OC says, relating one such story from old Cane Valley Days. The truth only, not the whole truth, was all that was required.

This one occurred in the late 40's, in Cane Valley, in the building now occupied by Taylors Farm Store.

Pinhooking always topic at Flatts' Little (Stockyards) Restaurant

It was writers' parents place across the road from the old Adair County Stockyards
Comments re article 43896 COF Pinhooking was business for racetrack fairgroundsBy Von Price

My parents had the "Little" eating place across the street from the Old Stockyard and I remember well hearing the farmers talking about "Pinhooking."They would bring their cattle in to sell and buyers would jump on the back of their trucks and bid on them before they would unload.

And I also remember that everyone would talk about the late Harold Mouser, that he was one of the best as was Bobby Hatcher.

Food: Might plan trip to Columbia, KY for Flan

With comment on Phillips-Thurman House/Claudia's Tea Room in Sonora, KY
Flan at Yuli & Mago Authentic Mexican Restaurant & Grill

Robert Stone writes:
Now this might make me plan a trip to Columbia. I'm very fond of flan.

I was in Sonora yesterday at the Phillips-Thurman House/Claudia's Tea Room. It's by reservation only but yesterday was a family reunion day. I first met Charles Thurman in September 1962 and I have been keeping up with his family all these years although not quite so well the last ten years. -Robert Stone
Wonderful idea you have. Hope you can come. Adair County is always on alert to be hospitable, especially to those here for Just Desserts. There are a lot of great foods to sample in Columbia. This one, the flan dish by creative Chef Jake, is one of the many reasons to visit Adair County for sweet treats. We've got so many we ought to have a Gray Line Tour Bus take people around for samplings. One of the great regrets of many visitors to Betty's is that they don't have room to eat Sand Pie after the big buffets, and have to get it to go. It's too bad CM's Shelbyville affiliates have already laid claim to Pie Sunday. What a prelude that would be to Adair County's Sunday Night Singings. -EW

Penhooking (Pinhooking): Commentary by Old Coddger

Old Coddger explains the variant spelling, "Penhooking." And brings up one of the primary areas for the enterprise, stockyards. Though penhookers prided themselves on being the takers, sometimes the tables were turned, and they became the takees. Some real life lessons were learned, as this story illustrates.

By Old Coddger

As I have been watching the comments and questions about pen hooking, I have seen no one else mention the "pen hookers" at the stockyards. (Thus my spelling PEN, as cattle in a pen). If you have never pulled up to a stockyard with some livestock on a truck and had several "pen hookers", jumping on your truck, making offers on what you had, asking what you would take, anything to close the deal before you unloaded and consigned your livestock to the market for sale. It was quite a show and a little scary for a kid from time to time as these guys would get quite loud trying to be the one that bought your stock..

Robert H. Stone: Lord of Mighty Actions


Link to audio at Cyberhymnal.com: Finlandia (Be Still My Soul words)

Lord of Mighty Actions
-a metrical arrangement from Psalm 118 (tune Finlandia). For Easter.
All praise to you, O Lord of mighty actions,
All praise to you, O Lord who raised us up.
All praise to you, O Lord of mighty actions,
All praise to you, O Lord, we did not die,
But now we live, proclaiming with rejoicing
That on this day you have delivered us.

Now open wide, O Lord, the gates of vict'ry,
We shall go in, O Lord, and praise your name.
We have in you, O Lord, defense and refuge,
You chastise but, O Lord, you answer us.
And make the stone the builders had rejected
Become the chief, the chosen cornerstone.

All praise to you, O Lord of mighty actions,
All praise to you, O Lord, who raises up.
All praise to you, O Lord of mighty actions,
All praise to you, O Lord, we shall not die,
And we shall live proclaiming with rejoicing
That all our days you will deliver us.

- Robert Stone, April 17, 1992. Words based upon the Revised English Bible. Tune: Finlandia by Jean Sibelius
This arrangement of Psalm 118:14-24 was made for Easter Sunday, April 19, 1992 for The Church of The Epiphany, Lebanon, Tennessee, one of the few metrical arrangements in a collection known as "The Cedar City Psalter." -Robert Stone

For years one of my least favorite signs of spring was the artificial grass adorning all of the Easter baskets the boys had every year during their childhood. It was nasty stuff, what with green strands showing up around the house for weeks after Easter, wrapping around the intake rollers on the vacuum cleaner.

Question: Is pinhooking an art or a science?

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
There are some real questions as to whether Pinhooking was is an art or a science. Maybe a little of both or were they practicing their craft? At any rate, they had to be one step ahead of the farmer concerning price and I've heard it said that a good pinhooker could weigh a heifer in the time it would take to turn a pickup truck off the highway onto the stockyard parking lot.

I do believe pinhooking is still being practiced but on a larger, less intimate scale. Certainly it is not on a grander scale for how could one ever out grand a grown man hanging on to pickup truck cattle racks while being dragged across a gravel parking lot in order to make an offer that the farmer just could not refuse. -Billy Joe Fudge

Jim, 103.5 years ago: Some of the news that was fit to print

Malicious cutting trial brought celebrity attorneys back to town. Wm. Dulworth sold $888 worth of ginseng (anybody know how much that is in today's dollars?). This "Jim" is a gem, should be read from start to finish, but the last item tops about anything ever. If one eats dessert first, read it first. This too brief piece is mind broadening, covering Oklahoma, Louisville, even far off Russell and Casey Counties. -CM

By "Jim"

A funny thing happened on my way to 1911 -- I overshot the mark and wound up in 1907 (specifically, September 25, 1907) and got so caught up in the goings-on I forgot to backtrack to 100 years ago. Such is the fate of those who have for too long breathed the thin air of the climes north of the Green River.

Kentucky Color - White Daffodils?

Click on headline for story plus photo(s)

By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester
Kentucky Division of Forestry

I'm not much of a flower man, but I do remember growing up that folks on "The Ridge" called the yellow daffodils that bloomed in early spring, March Lilies.

These white ones that bloomed in mid-April to early May, they called Field Lilies. Now I know, they aren't lilies but that is what my folks, friends and neighbors called them.

I had an island field of about 4 acres with a few of these growing in it. After a few years of tilling, the field was almost completely covered. What a sight that was with the green woods all around a carpet of white. -Billy Joe Fudge

COF: Pinhooking was business for racetrack, fairgrounds

Comments re article 43893. Reade Heskamp asks if pinhookers still practicing arCOF writes:
The OLD Scots and Irish usta tell tall tales of fabled individuals who could talk down the price of a horse of a mornin', buy it cheap, dress it nice and sell it dear by noon.

They oft referred to these mavens by the pejorative "pinhooker" but the truth be known many harbored a secret admiration for their skill. There were some who purposely went outta their way to be able to brag thet they had got the best of the local pinhooker.

Needless to say, these benighted souls were the meat and potatoes on the table of the skilled trader.

I gathered from the stories I listened to that the business was usually conducted at the local racetrack and/or fairgrounds.

I have no clue from whence the name derived.
