Daily News for Sunday, September 27, 2020
August 14, 1979 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the August 14, 1979 issue of the Adair County News. Topics included a building boom in Columbia, a few stories from a 1909 issue of the News (making this a double-hop back in time), and speculation on whether the moped craze of the late 1970s would help or hurt the gas shortage. --Pen By Ed Waggener It happened at the Columbia Church of the Nazarene, Trilby Tupman said. The Sunday School class was being told about Jesus being a carpenter. The little fellows listened intently. Later, after the teacher finished with the story, she quizzed the kids on the lesson. "Now, the teacher asked, "who was the greatest carpenter who ever lived?" One bright eyed youngster raised his hand, "I know," he said. "Who?" the teacher asked. "Kendall Harvey," the youngster said. It was likely the second best answer the student could have given. Kendall Harvey, Mrs. Tupman's brother, is a cabinetmaker and carpenter of extraordinary skills, who builds everything from cabinets to entire houses to motor homes. My mother used to like to tell a similar story. She was teaching in a one-room school house.

Late Sept. 1920: A Detective, Duvetyne, and Sundry Other News The waning days of September 1920 found a politician on every stump; Westinghouse introducing the first commercially produced home radios, retailing for ten dollars (the equivalent of $130 a century later); and the Cleveland Indians and Brooklyn Dodgers atop their respective baseball leagues. But meanwhile, back in The Shire... By JIM Rev. J.M. Turner's revival at Bear Wallow came to a close with twenty-seven souls rescued, "one-half joining the United Brethren Church," the remainder choosing various other denominations. Meanwhile, Rev. J.N. Hoover of the Brethren in Christ closed services near Allen School-house and he and his singers moved their tent to Freedom Church, near the Roy community, and extended a cordial invitation to all to attend the services there. The News sharply addressed the Fiscal Court, set to meet in just a few days, in regard to the court house, sharply pointing out the wood work was "sadly in need of paint," as was the roof, and admonishing, "The building cost the county too much money to be neglected." Another contingent also caught heat on the front page, the boys guilty of "throwing explosives after night." Specifically named were "splitdevils," which, after being tossed on a recent night, had "burned holes in the tops of three automobiles." Sniped The News, "There is a law against this kind of sport and it should be enforced."
