1919: A Flying Ship in Columbia By Mike Watson One of the earliest airplanes to land in the vicinity of Columbia came in the year 1919, just months before the end of the Great War, World War I. A Liberty Loan Drive was in progress across the nation and the drive for Adair County was scheduled to begin on the 21st day of April, 1919. The U.S. Government planned to send an airplane to town, expected to arrive on the 24th. Some predicted that the event would draw thousands of people to Columbia. Visitors were expected from all the surrounding counties, weather permitting. The airplane was to depart Camp Knox--now Fort Knox--early on the morning of the 24th and arrive over Columbia in a short time. Arriving here, it was scheduled to make some demonstrations over the Fair Grounds, refuel, then go to Jamestown, then Liberty, before returning to Columbia and back to its point of origin. A large tank of gasoline to be used for the airplane, to refuel upon arrival in Columbia, arrived the week before. Nothing but rain would stop the machine from flying, if the day was fair the plane would make the flight. When the big day arrived, thousands were in town.

January 3, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the January 3, 1978 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included some Adair County trivia, some Columbia trivia, the upcoming local inauguration ceremonies, and some words of wisdom from Rev. Eldon Trubee. --Pen By Ed Waggener A bit of geographical trivia What do Greenfield, Iowa; Kirksville, Missouri; Stillwell, Oklahoma; and Columbia, Kentucky, have in common? They are all the county seats of the Adair County in their respective state. Our Adair County, I would guess, is likely the oldest of the four Adair Counties in the United States. But it is the smallest of the four:
In numbers of people, our Adair County is the second, with a 1970 census of 13,037. Adair County, Iowa is the smallest. It has 9,487 people. Adair County, Oklahoma, had 15,141 in 1970. And Adair County, Missouri, had 22,472. I have never been to any of the other Adair Counties, but I mean to go.

High winds and thunderstorms left their marks By Linda Waggener The severe thunderstorm watch issued Saturday, January 11, 2020 for the afternoon, didn't prepare travelers around the Public Square in Columbia for the incident between the Chamber of Commerce and Walker Real Estate buildings that closed Burkesville Street for many hours. Burkesville Street from Stotts Construction to the Public Square had to be blocked off Saturday from the noon hour until after dark due to a power line pole damaged in the 40-60 mph winds. Traffic heading onto the Square was routed from Downey Eye Clinic to Reed Street just past SaveALot to Jamestown Street. Power was reported to have been off in the Egypt area of Adair County. More information will be available on the results of the high winds and heavy rains as received. 2020-01-12 06:39:28 | Comments | Printable version
Prayers continuing for Rep. John Bam Carney Larry Smith shares these words from Saturday night from Mark Carney about his brother Rep. John Bam Carney who was hospitalized over two weeks ago. "Bam has done good today. Keeping him sedated for the most part. He has been able to communicate with us on a couple of occasions today by winking. The reason they are keeping him sedated is they plan on going back in two more times to clean the infection out. His heart rate and blood pressure okay tonight. The blood doctor said today that his platelets were great and his blood was good today. He does have a little bit of fever tonight. "So as you pray for Bam, ask for fever to not get too high, for heart rate and blood pressure to stay in check, for the liver to improve, for kidneys to begin working in the days ahead and for the infection in the pancreas to improve and not get into any blood vessels or into the intestines and that all drain tubes continue to work as planned.
