Thumbnail Word-Sketch: C.S. Harris, 1861-1935 By JIM Charles Snow "C.S." Harris, born to A.W. and Frances Harris, made his advent near Jonesville, Lee County, Virginia on the last day of December 1861. C.S. came to Adair County, Ky. in the 1880s, where he met Margaret Scott "Maggie" Murrell; they were married in the late summer of 1888, and the couple owned and farmed property just past Russell's Creek, "one mile east of Columbia" on the Stanford Road. For a few years in the 1890s, he and Mr. W.F. Jeffries partnered in the Columbia firm that later became known as Jeffries & Sons Hardware. However, Mr. Harris is best remembered in Adair County as the founder and 20-year editor of the Adair County News, from its first issue in November 1897 until he sold the operation to Barksdale & Daisy Hamlett in the fall of 1917. Not quite a year and a half later, he, Maggie, and several of the children moved to near West Point, Mississippi, some 160 miles south-southeast of Memphis and not far removed from the Alabama state line. There, he continued farming for the remaining sixteen years of his life. During that time, his loquacious letters occasionally graced the pages of the Adair County newspaper, always with a good word for his old home and friends of so many years.
