This young man wowed our audience with some really fast piano action, along with some blues, and he will be back on the Big Dawg soon.

Columbia's Building Boom, 1903

By JIM

Adair County entered 1903 brimming with optimism, and Columbia found itself on the leading edge of a building boom, fueled in the main by the national economy and by the imminent arrival of the Lindsey Wilson Training School.

L.B. Hurt already had most of the lumber on the ground for a new residence, design not yet revealed, for the John Lowe family up on Jamestown Street Hill. In addition, Col. Hurt planned to erect two more residences nearby "on the hill, just above" Mr. Lowe's site, but on the other side of the street.

W.F. Jeffries & Sons Hardware moved into their brand new building on the exit corner of Jamestown Street just before the new year opened and only days afterward came news that Russell & Murrell had bought from Mont Cravens the lot between Jeffries and the Reed & Miller store (where Nell's Variety was located years later) with the intention of putting a grand new retail house there for their ever-increasing trade. That building never came to fruition on the site, but another one did.
