Quail they are on their way back at Joppa Maury Lewis writes: I walked outside in my yard in beautiful Joppa around 5pm and my husband said "Did you hear that quail?" I did a quail call and it answered me. That may not excite some people but it does me. My father raised quail and I love to watch them in the natural. I use to call them up in the yard when we lived in LA (lower Alabama).We have lived here five years and six months and this is the first time I have heard or seen a quail. --Maury Lewis 2011-06-21 18:39:12 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Whitehurst Diaries: Sharon W requests expert spider ID Wise males of the Whitehurst clan suggest avoidance. Latest chapter may be indicator that terrible spiders have affinity for Double Red Knockout Roses Click on headline for story and photo(s) By Sharon Whitehurst This creature in the three accompany photos turned up this morning as I weeded around a Double Red Knock-out Rose. She was not aggressive: seemed mainly concerned with trundling away from me into the taller grass. She was still there when I came back with the camera. I didn't touch her, but she rolled into a ball and showed her underside. I am being scolded by the males of the family who insist I was poking at a Black Widow spider and courting all kinds of injury. Perhaps long time residents of Adair County can inform me whether these are common. -Sharon Whitehurst See Lactrodectus in Wikipedia for a pretty good hint at what Sharon Whitehurst was photographing. 2011-06-21 13:54:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sharon Whitehurst - Whitehurst Diaries

JIM: Garlin, KY coming to the front, 1919 Even 100 years ago, prognosticators were foreseeing a bright future for this town, which has now come to fruition. But even the writers of these early 20th Century Adair County News letters might be amazed at just how important glorious Garlin, strategically located between Christine and Columbia, has become today, with its massive suburban residential developments, modern highway and street system, its two five-star restaurants, it's professional photographer and picture framer, and its radio station, its significance as the home of one of Adair County's liveliest church congregations, and as the home of the county's premier truck garden, Jake Willis, prop; while all the while retaining its indisputable geographic importance as arguably, maybe, perhaps, the westernmost terminus of fabled Burton Ridge, a contention decorously debated, today, in the civil discourse which has prevailed on The Ridge for full 35 years since pacification, in the region's post-fisticuff and post-pistol justice era. It's a town so secure in its rich history that no historical markers are needed to stroke local egos to remind of all the famed sheriffs and county court clerks, statesmen, mercantile captains, bankers, baseball heroes, educators, medical doctors, agricultural leaders, and NCAA Division I coaches who gained lasting fame beyond its comfortable borders. No hyperbole needed. Thank you. Besides, you probably didn't know how the town got its name, but you will after reading Jim's revelations, which follows, herewith. -CM (Where it's at) By "Jim A thumbnail sketch of Garlin, found in the July 11, 1922 Adair County News, followed by a 1903 newsletter. The little Village of Garlin, this county, is coming to the front. It contains besides a general store and post office, a broom factory and grist mill. The broom factory has just been installed by Mr. Ed Crawford, late of North Dakota. He is said to be an expert maker. The grist mill is run by Mr. E.T. Holmes.

If found please call at (270) 384-0708 and ask for Shelley or leave a message. They are a yearling pair (male and female) of India Blue Peafowl (peacocks). - Shelley DavisFind animals quick In CM Animals/Farm 2011-06-21 03:41:24 | Comments | Printable version
