I have had a white with brown spots, boxer type dog show up on Bill Turner Road this afternoon. She is afraid of the fireworks going off and very friendly. She has a collar and a Coffey Vet tag. Hope someone will claim her soon; my Yorkie is going nuts. Call Joe at (270) 634-0285. Joe

Thanks for the great material on duels, raids and other interesting stuff in Adair County's past. I recently downloaded a Kentucky history book from Google Free Books. It is A History of Kentucky by William B. Allen, published in 1872. It has a considerable amount of information on Southcentral Kentucky including Chapter 11, "History of Kentucky more Particularly Relating to Green County>" It's an interesting read and should be informative to your Milltown area readers and those in Green County. - Dave Rosenbaum

A side note on Gen Morgans stay in the metropolis of Cane Valley is that the Bridgewater House where Morgan spent the night and one other where some of his officers also stayed are still standing today.

The Bridgewater house is owned by some of the Bridgewater relatives and the other is where my mother still lives.

To be unhappy is the choice one makes
when being happy is ignored to seek
more power to ambush high ambition's stakes,
neglectful of the heart in valley bleak.

But having such a choice is freedom's root,
what constitutes its never dimming glow
maintaining strength though shadows in pursuit
on present hope cast doubts from long ago.

To melt one's individuality
into the cauldron of the multitude
will smooth identity so all agree
and dull the selfish wants till all subdued.

Defeat, euphoria? which will you seize?
Which way of living choose in times like these?

If you want a blessing, you need to hear Sharon sing. If you don't get a blessing from this, you will never get one. When she opens her mouth, the hair will stand up on the back of your neck. The angels in heaven could sing no better!! - Paula Pyles

Just wanted to thank Ed for his help in listing my ad for a building for the 127 sale. Got one shortly after listing posted. Thanks so much Ed. --Tamara Andrew

My female tabby cat is missing after a neighbor's Friday night fireworks on Tutt Street. She could have gone away from the noise and may have run toward Gate/Chevron, possibly.

It very much looks like the corn patch has been hit by a band of raccoons or could be a groundhog because both animals will ride the stalks down to get to ears of corn. - Lance Bean
