Remembering Muhammad Ali and an Adair County connection 
The historic Santa Fee Baptist Church, on Wheeler Hill Road, is an inspiring sight from any direction, but nowhere more so than from afar midway up Jobe Hill on Lasley Road; and in no season more than these shades of deep green days of Spring. It is inspiring, as well, because of many significant events in its naming and its history. The church has been home to many distinguished Adair Countians, Columbia's Sammie Hughes, a member of the church recalled a few years back when the photo was taken. He remembers it was once visited by the mother of Muhammad Ali at at time when Ali was known as Cassius Clay, who descended from the Gradys of Santa Fee and Gradyville, KY.

JIM: Car sales were booming in Adair County 100 years ago JIM finds fascinating connections to Adair County of today, though the idea of a railroad is not currently part of the Adair County goals; oughta be, but there has been no suggestion of building one since the late R. Hughes Walker suggested one from Columbia to Kentucky's other two important hotspots, New Hope and Louisville, KY. He leads with the 1916 equivalent of the Franklin Family Group and the then auto boom, interweaves it with nuggets of information about many of the Great Families of then and today, and ends with an item to wow coffee drinkers about the genius of two great businesses of today - both of which can claim common progenitors! Amazing. And he alludes to personal plans in a future incarnation. - CM Click on headline for complete story By JIM, By gosh Adair County Historian & History Cousin of Mike Watson All sorts of spicy bits (in the language of the day) graced the front page of the Adair County News a century ago this early June week. Autos were all the rage, with Messrs. Golan Butler and J.P. Beard the most recent purchasers of "Ford machines" and Dr. Jas. Taylor the proud new owner of a Ford runabout for "use in his practice." Noted the paper, "Columbia has been buying two cars a week upon average for several weeks."

Jon Halsey comments on Guaranteed Income for Every American In this essay, Jon Halsey points to a problem with many well meaning acts: Flawed government programs exacerbated by fundamental greed. Comments re article 83639 Ideas Link to WSJ story Guaranteed Income for Every American By Jon Halsey Personal commentary Several generations ago, when I was in the military, troops living off of the base received a monthly "Housing Allowance". Periodically this stipend. which never covered housing costs, was increased by a small amount to adjust for the COL or Cost of Living index. If the Housing Allowance was increased by $10., guess how much each and every landlord increased the rent they charged for that and every succeeding month. This phenomena was repeated across the local economy and soon all goods and services were increased by the same percentage.
