JIM - Renaissance in Columbia 1898-1911 By JIM This is written in honor of Ed Waggener, who never met a progressive cause for Columbia and Adair County he didn't embrace. While researching and writing this article over the past several days, I've contemplated the delight with which Ed would have reported -- and cheered -- the incredible changes made on the square from 1898 through 1911, a 14-year span during which new buildings graced every quadrant of the square; and sidewalks, electricity, better educational opportunities, and improved telephony came to town. The following summary, by no means complete, covers some of the advances made during that halcyon era.

Carol Perkins: Job search in the modern economy Previously by Carol Perkins: Carol Perkins: Who am I to criticize? By Carol Perkins I have thought about a part-time job lately, and I think I have found one not only for me, but also for my friends. We can ride in a van together and hire a younger person to drive close to the event and let us out so we don't have to walk too far. We don't want to work every day, but we want to be paid well for the work we do. Finding that kind of job is almost impossible-almost. I recently learned online (which at first I found hard to believe) that there is a career opportunity that is not highly publicized. Possibly because of the skills involved; stamina, a loud voice, extensive travel, danger, personal harassment skills and creative sign making. The job can pay $150,000 a year, but that might require more working time than we want. It also requires extension travel, which we might like. There is danger involved, which scares me a little, but the end of the day financial gain might be worth taking a leap. I'll try to stay out of closed spaces with my fellow employees; they can close in. I'll let them do the harassing.

Digging up memories of Mr. Bud in Greater Bliss By Miss Victoria Browning Pike News from New Columbia/Greater Bliss Work on the new Magic Mart continues in the Pinewood Shopping Center. It would appear they are digging to install the fuel tanks. It's either that, or they are searching for The Sinkhole Dweller, "Bud Mullins," from my side of the road in the farming community of Greater Bliss, which is only a hop, skip, and jump from New Columbia. The girls at the Pampered Angus Ranch and I are keeping a close eye on what comes out of the excavating. We are hoping Bud has gone on to a better place, but we will be keeping a close eye at the back door for that ole feller in the creepy long black coat and hat that once appeared when I was a very bad little girl.
