Charles Marshburn: Bare bear? Old goats? Charles Marshburn writes: The COF is aware that the rumor exists about numerous old goats being spotted in the Knifley area. I realize that the possibility of bear being seen in that area of the county is difficult to bear. Bare facts though are difficult to bear even by old goats in Knifley. No pun intended. - Charles MarshburnComment about: COF equivocates hard on idea of goats being better than a bear 2016-07-17 12:01:24 | Comments | Printable version

JIM: History found in old newspaper used to wrap 22 revolver Revelation for those recognizing a failing of CM for heretofore printing nary a word about these importantant moments in Adair County History: A singing; Mr. Wilmore is thrown; and Mr. Grissom describes his calf. An enlightening and highly entertaining compilation by a most unique observer of our times. - EW Click on headline for complete account) by JIM Toward the end of May 1916, the Adair County News published a letter written by native son James F. Logan, who then resided in Macomb, Illinois. The transcribed letter appears below, with the caveat that the date (May 28,1865) given for the found newspaper is incorrect by a score of years, as several of the men mentioned in the Zion item were yet lads in short pants in the spring of 1865. Melvin White, one of those mentioned and a frequent contributor to the News for many years, remarked in a letter penned some weeks later that "The first issue of [The] Columbia Spectator appeared about 1869, when I was twelve years of age." The year Mr. Logan likely meant was1885. Adair historian Mike Watson noted that Rollin Hurt and H.C. Connor ran The Spectator together from sometime in 1884 until May 1885.

Kentucky Color: Dunwoody GA and quality urban planning With spurt of growth in local economy, now is the time to update overall plan. When Billy Joe & Libby Fudge travel, they always look for the best ideas to bring back to Columbia. Last year they had another yet-to-be-acted-on-but-needs-to-be idea: Covered walkways a good idea for Columbia Click on headline for commentary with photo(s). By Billy Joe Fudge Dunwoody, Georgia and much of the Greater Atlanta Area is a visual testament to the importance of quality urban planning. Have they made mistakes over the years? Yes, but to drive and walk down their streets in most areas is a complete joy. Columbia/Adair County is experiencing growth and now is the time for County and City leaders, not just political but business, educational, religious and cultural leaders as well, to call for a Greater Downtown Columbia Urban Development Plan. There are millions of dollars available to communities such as ours but only if we have an overall plan. Billy Joe Fudge 2016-07-17 06:48:17 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
