By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Indians rushed for a season low 64 yards but passed for a season high 370 yards in what was one of the best offensive outings of the whole season.

Adair County at KDLA Archives Institute

By Mike Watson

The Kentucky Archives Institute, held at Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in Frankfort, was held on Friday, October 18, 2024.

For more than thirty-five years the staff at KDLA have hosted an institute where attendees may learn about the holdings of the Archives, how to use these valuable resources in research and more. The 2024 program was a little different as one of the sessions concentrated on how to deal with wet documents and other items--how to immediately salvage, how to store, and how to prepare for professional reclamation if called for. These photos are from this session and depict various teams working to triage photos, newspaper items, and much more.

Photos include from Adair County, Annita Dial and Mike Watson from the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center, and friend of the Research Center Ann J. Pennington of Danville who has deep roots in Adair County.

Both Ann Pennington and Mike Watson are currently serving on the Board of the Kentucky Friends of the Archives, Frankfort, KY.

Mt. Hope Separate Baptist Church celebrates 100 years

By Venus M. Popplewell

Jamestown, KY - Sunday marked a very special milestone for Mt. Hope Separate Baptist Church. The church "on a hill" celebrated its 100th anniversary. The ceremony, themed "Mt. Hope's Walk With Christ," reflected on the church's humble beginnings and revisited cherished memories spanning over a century.

"It's my honor to welcome you to our 100th-anniversary celebration," said Bro. Randy Brown who has pastored Mt. Hope Separate Baptist Church in Jamestown, Kentucky, for 15 years. "It is with great anticipation we celebrate this day. Over the past several months, many in our church have worked hard to prepare the information we are about to share with you - reflecting on the history of the past 100 years."

Sharon Harris of Columbia opened the ceremony by presenting her research on the church's early beginnings and the story behind its name.

"Brother Otha Lee Popplewell was our first minister and he said he named it "Mount" because we are on a hill and "Hope" for the generations to come," said Harris. "Our name has a meaning - we are the hope for the generations to come."
