Around Adair: It must have happened in Columbia Big thanks to Jacob Cowan for transcribing this Around Adair, which includes one of Dad's favorite topics, Columbia's claim to famed writer Mark Twain. His theory was based almost entirely on a single sentence in an out of print Jane Clemens biography, which he spun into a bit of local mythology over the years. Mention of the Dogwood Project would date this column in Fall 1977 or Spring 1978. --Pen By Ed Waggener Billy Beer hit Columbia over the weekend, from at least two directions. Real Democrats drank it, sang "Happy Days Are Here Again," and threatened to throw the cans on big Republicans' doorsteps. This is one area where Republicans just don't compete. Looks like they'd at least get a good pop wine. Another one for the Dogwood Project We now have pledges to buy at least 327 dogwoods. The latest to be added to the list is Don Moss of State Form Insurance, who is pledging not dogwoods, but money to buy dogwoods. He's putting up $50, and I'm counting that as 25 trees, but it could be as high as 100. And Mayrine Rogers' is committing to buy 50 trees. Others donating or buying trees so far are Mary Sullivan, Delaval, Fay McKinley, Dr. George Webb, Ed Waggener, Cora Young, and James Brock.

90 years ago: Roads, Water, the Fair, and a real hotel man As August made its advent and began the slow march toward summer's end, baseball great Babe Ruth tied one record and set another. Aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart surrendered a chance for victory in the first ever Women's Air Derby to help a fellow aviator and friendly competitor. The van guard of that "rough beast" later called the Great Depression continued its surreptitious slouch toward Wall Street and Main Street -- and the band played on. But meanwhile, back in The Shire... By JIM Without a doubt, excitement over the upcoming Fair (scheduled for the 13th through the 16th) already danced in the Adair County air that long ago early August. In additional to the sideshows, provided that year by the Ideal Amusement Company, and the usual local attractions -- races, horse shows, agricultural and household exhibitions, and kids' events -- Haag's Might Show, a circus that made an annual stop in Columbia for many years, would give two performances at the fairgrounds the last day. A front page blurb -- possibly a news item, possibly an ad -- stated of the circus in part, "Free parade at noon. Same clowns, same jokes. Do not miss it." The recent grading of Greensburg Road, the near-completion of same for Burkesville Road, and "the work of surveying the road from this place to the Russell County line,"commenced a few day earlier, brought cheers from the ever-progressive News. The paper pointed out that with these improvements in transportation, and to an even greater degree once the roads were surfaced, more people than ever would travel to the county seat and "Columbia will take on new life." Already, "The past few Sunday have found numerous people taking advantage of the new roads... A great many visitors from both [Burkesville and Greensburg] may be seen here, and also from Hardin, Warren, Barren, Larue, and other more distant towns."
