Sunrise clouds 1 Jul 2016 inspired him to stop for pictures Robert Cumming writes: There certainly was something inspiring viewing local cloud formations the first Saturday morning in July. I was driving east on KY 206 just north of the 76 intersection at 8AM when I saw such unusual intertwined cirrus-cumulonimbus cloud formations that I stopped in the middle of my lane (no traffic) to snap 4 cell phone pics! Unfortunately the resulting I-phone camera images didn't quite measure up to the reality of my mind's eye view! --Robert CummingComments re photo 67401 Beautiful Adair County Sunrise Sat 2 Jul 2016 2016-07-03 13:20:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

JIM: 100 years ago this week Exciting times, back then, with changes in the Columbia Fair management, work on the Stanford Pike, a new bakery, home construction underway, a huge furniture store opened, but there was frustration over the foot-dragging on the railroad to Columbia (a good cause today for a determined activist). An Esto resident moved to Columbia to aid men with automotive woes. Mr. Paul H. Hughes joined the classified advertising staff of the St. Louis Star. And Adair County lost a member of a the last of one of Adair County's first families. And young Clarance Jackman, spared in the War with Mexico, had his life cut short in World War II. Click headline for complete story of what was going on in Adair County 100 years ago. BY Jim The front page of the July 5, 1916 Adair County News had a potpourri of articles and insightful information for the casual and careful reader alike. The Columbia Fair was under new management The Columbia Fair, scheduled to open on August 22nd (later changed to August 15th) was under new management. Former Fair Association members R.F. Paull, J.B. Coffey, R.L. Smythe, and C.S. Harris were out. Mr. R.K. Young had just purchased Mr. Paull's one-fifth interest and of latter-named gentleman, the News remarked, "[He] joins the merrimaking with all his vim and enthusiasm and will prove a good man to the Association and to the public as well."

Basic math: Children need to learn to count. Period By Joyce Coomer In addition to children learning to count money, they also need to learn to count, period. We ordered a several piece box of food yesterday, with three additional pieces. We were charged for the three additional pieces but when we got home, discovered that not only were the three additional pieces of food NOT in the box, we were also one short of the number of pieces of food that were stated on the menu. In addition to learning to count, children (and most adults) need to learn to pay attention to what they're doing . . . not playing with their phones nor having frivolous conversations instead of paying attention to their work. 270-384-4495 2016-07-03 10:26:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

Another Angle: Proclaim Liberty This column, Another Angle. Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land was first published 10 years ago yesterday, 2 July 2006 in the Hart County News-Herald.The author also posted this column and so many others on ColumbiaMagazine.com. He died January 25, 2016. (See: Remembering Rev. Robert J. Stout, author of Another Angle). To see other articles by this author, enter "Rev. Joey N. Welsh," or "Another Angle," in the searchbox. The next earlier Another Angle in the series: Am I included, or am I included out? By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land People these days are familiar with many passages from the Old Testament books of Genesis and Exodus, but few 21st century Christians hear much about the book that comes next, Leviticus. Though it contains a scant few narrative stories, Leviticus primarily relates the detailed practices to be overseen by the Levites -- members of the tribe of Levi -- and the priests of the ancient Hebrews. To say that this section of Old Testament law is detailed is a major understatement. The book describes a holiness code, a religious reaction or practice in reply to nearly every conceivable aspect of ancient life.
