Daily News for Saturday, February 2, 2019
Letter - could have been Cane Valley Bank Hunter Durham writes: None of the Stotts Phelps McQueary funeral home was never a part of a jail. The jail was a house with the jail attached which is where the current Adair County Regional Jail is. The best guess is that this was the bank in Cane Valley. Maybe the dedication of the building. --HHDComments re photo 82491 Mystery photo from Old Knifley collection 2019-02-02 14:35:55 | Comments | Printable version
Old Knifley photo - guessing it might be county jail Robert Cumming writes: Judging from the amount of bars on the building windows and porch it must be the county jail. The period dress of the crowd looks like late 1800s and possibly a public hanging event on the square. --Robert CummingComments re photo 82491 Mystery photo from Old Knifley collection 2019-02-02 14:33:10 | Comments | Printable version
Groundhog Day - sun would have allowed for morning shadow As this, February 2, is Groundhog Day 2019, we hope to have action pictures coming in. There's no question but what he would have seen his shadow in the sun of this morning in Adair County, so what's that mean here? Grandparents always say that if the shadow is present on this day, it means there will be six weeks of bad winter weather to come. And then there's this weather comment from JIM: "February will be a month of storms -- violent storms and blizzards, wind, rain, sleet, and snow will prevail, covering the entire country. The precipitation during the month will be the heaviest known in years, and will consist principally of sleet and snow, accompanied at times by heavy gales. The rainfall will be light and of short duration, except over the Southern and Gulf States."

Letter: White horse brings back spit, smack and wish Cynthia A. Meyer writes: When I was in elementary school, one of my readers had a story that if you see a white horse you are supposed to spit in your right hand, make a wish, and then hit your spitted hand with your left fist.
