Near Disastrous Caving site was marshmallow roast venue Martha Berry writes: If the i of that cave is the same one that is on the farm that was owned by Bob White's father, we High School kids used to have picnics there.

Jones of Columbia as attorneys for Elrod & Company. On the other side were Gordon Montgomery of Columbia, Judge James Denton of Somerset, James R. Garnett of Columbia and Ben Smith of Somerset. The outcome is below. By Mike Watson The recent photographs of the Historic Adair County Courthouse have been excellent. My compliments to the several artists who took them. As my cousin, brother Jim, recently stated in a submission, our Courthouse has seen so much action since 1884. This wonderful building holds many exciting bits of history. If only it could and would reveal some of them, we would all be far richer today.

It was in the Adair County News as Bible true as any verse in Hezekiah.-CM By JIM "Their candles given out:" A near-disastrous Adair County caving expedition Some of the most gripping passages ever penned by Mark Twain, Adair County's world-famous "grandson of the Shire," appeared in his novel Tom Sawyer. These passages involve Tom and Miss Becky Thatcher (his petite amie du jour) and their harrowing experience in McDougal's Cave. A somewhat similar saga occurred in Adair County in (or about) 1876, the same year the world met Twain's Tom Sawyer and friends.
