I think my ancestor Mary Fudge would be surprised about a lot of things in this world 140 years after being laid to rest in the Rowetown Cemetery at Toria, Kentucky.


I am sure that the flowers blooming on her resting place in December would be among the many miracles that would fascinate her.

She would probably be happy that the Honeysuckle growing on her grave and nearby will bloom come hot weather, that many of her family and friends are laid to rest nearby, that the old Redbud that signaled the coming of Spring for so many years is resting peacefully near her headstone, that the squirrels have had plenty of Hickory nuts to eat this winter, that we still pay our respects, and that we are still looking in the direction her headstone points. -Billy Joe Fudge

One of these signs could save your life or the life of someone you love


(ADV) FFA Address Marker orders may be placed at Four Adair Co., KY businesses
We are announcing a new option to make it more convenient for people to place orders and pick up signs puchased from the Adair County FFA. Two local businesses have agreed to provide a location for people to place an order and pick up their sign when it is finished. You can now place an order at:


  • Day and Day Feed and Pet, 1011 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY

  • M & W Milling, 510 Short ST., Columbia, KY

  • Hardscratch Grocery, 7289 Hwy 55 South Road, Columbia, KY. In the Glensfork Community of Adair County. Phone (270) 384-4671

  • Burton Ace Hardware, 314 Campbellsville ST, Columbia, KY. Phone (270) 384-2696
We will pick up the orders every few days and call the person when the sign is ready to be picked up. Signs are still $15 and are a hot item for Chistmas since they fit perfectly into a large stocking. They are about the best gift I can think of for the person that already has everything and is hard to shop for. If a person wants a sign by Christmas, they will have to get their order in by December 15, 2010. which is the last day of school before break. Orders placed after this date will not likely be filled until after the New Year. -Kirby Hancock, Advisor, Adair County FFA
