Letter: Picking up roadside trash Larry Clark writes: Garbage pickup for me is Wednesday. For the past three Wednesdays I have picked up four thirty-three gallon garbage bags full of trash. I start where you turn at Mt. Carmel Boat Ramp Road, along Bridgewater Road. Bottles, cans, broken glass ect. Someone threw three tires over the embankment. I can't get down there and get them. There was a box of beer, and whiskey bottles and other items. I did remove that. Still there is bunches of cans, and bottles down in My woods. People don't seem to care about the planet.Comments re: Just one of many bags of trash picked up Saturday 2023-07-13 13:56:21 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

An Addendum: Typhoid fever, 1931-1932 This article is supplemental to the longer piece here: Columbia and the long road to water works, 1929 - 1933 By JIM The first few months of 1932 saw no forward motion on the water works system, but a peripherally related issue came to the forefront in January and February. Adair County experienced sporadic outbreaks of typhoid fever throughout most of 1931 and into 1932. Near the end of 1931, a full-time County Health Department was formed with Adair native Dr. N.A. Mercer, then serving as head of the Casey County Health Department, hired in the same capacity locally. An article in the first 1932 edition of The News, in reporting this development, stated the primary goals of the unit as promotion of health education, improvement of sanitary conditions, prevention and control of communicable and venereal diseases, prenatal clinics, child health conferences, and the examination of school children. Of particular concern were "five diseases that are absolutely preventable: diphtheria, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, typhoid fever, and small-pox." Of these five ailments, Dr. Mercer immediately zeroed in on typhoid fever.

Columbia and the long road to water works, 1929 - 1933 Many individuals and many factors played vital roles in Columbia's advances in the earlier years of the 20th century, but perhaps no entity had greater impact than the Adair County News. Owner-publisher Charles S. Harris and long-time editor John Edward "J.E." Murrell relentlessly, unabashedly, thundered for progress in Columbia and Adair County from the bully pulpit of the paper. Whether the cause du jour was good roads, more bridges, increased commerce, modern conveniences, or better educational opportunities, The News stood foursquare for it, sometimes in the voice of a wise uncle, sometimes in that of a stern parent, sometimes -- ofttimes -- in that of the shrewd businessman pointing out the financial advantages, sometimes cajoling and sometimes shaming, but always, always, in favor of progress. Columbia and the long road to water works, 1929 - 1933 By JIM As early as 1902, C.S. Harris and the Adair County News began pounding the editorial pulpit in favor of water works for Columbia. In August that year, in reference to a recent interview with Eld. W.K. Azbill, the paper stated, "He [Azbill] mentions two lines that would be profitable to the men or company who would back them. We need water-works, [and] we need an electric plant." The electric plant loomed perhaps closer on the near-event horizon than anyone imagined; W.R. Myers brought that marvel to Columbia in 1904, albeit on a very limited basis and for just a few hours each evening. Citizens of the town had a much longer wait for the water works -- some thirty years and pocket change. With irregular frequency, the paper again and again brought up the notion of a city-wide water system over the next two and half decades, only to be ignored again and again. Finally, with what would prove to be incredibly bad timing, the City Council addressed the issue in the summer of 1929.
