Editorial: Support Adair County Printing Industry

Make January 5, 2012 Place a Print Order with an Adair County Printer Day; January Place a Print Order with an Adair County Printer Month, and 2012 Place a Print Order with an Adair County Printer Year.
An if you are an Adair Countian now living elsewhere - we hope you'll check out the opportunities to obtain the highest quality and best value from a fellow Adair Countian when you place your next order for printing

By Ed Waggener

Yesterday, talking with a local business person who was needing fast printing who was fretting because mission critical printing was not getting done, I suggested my brother's or any of a number of local printers to contact first.

It brought to mind, once again, how important it is to make it our business to know what local businesses do and to remind ourselves that almost any service is available in Adair County and we need only make a few inquiries to find that the need we have can be filled by a neighbor.

Tandy Withers is in Old Soldiers at Weed - or a look alike?

Rhonda West writes:
Could this photo have been made at least 10 years prior to 1911 as suggested by Judge Lawless? The reason I ask is that the gentleman that is 2nd from the left in the front row has an uncanny resemblence to my Great-Great Grandfather, James Tandy Withers, who also served in the Civil War and lived in Adair Co from 1875-1900. He died in 1901. Just hoping that someone out there could help identify these fine men. If it is not my GGGrandfather he must of had a "twin" out there. Thanks for submittng the photo and story. --Rhonda West

Mr Galbraith: Champion of pragmatism and common sense

The Wayfaring Stranger writes: It occurs to this wayfaring stranger that in Gatewood Galbraith's passing, the Commonwealth has lost her only honest politician - her most articulate, outspoken champion of pragmatism and common sense in government.

If ballots cast could be encased in glass and displayed on a shelf like trophies, votes for Mr. Galbraith would be chief among this wayfarer's treasured mementoes. - The WAYFARING STRANGER
