Why isn't the name changed to Academic Co.?

Divers opinions and remarks from North, Way North -
of Green River, Tucker Ridge, Esto and Ono, KY


  • Opposes aggrandizement of outlaws/cowards

  • Reveals no hint of stance on Prof. Azbill's electric railway to Lebanon and Creelsboro, which CM supports

  • Tantilizes readers with promise of next installment; infers more coming on the glories of the Old Turners

  • About: With the tolling of the bells: A sad moment in Columbia history

To the Editor:

I much appreciate you running the Judge Baker / RAC Martin piece. As you know from our previous conversations, I feel pretty strongly about (against) the aggrandizement of outlaws/cowards. Also, I appreciate the plug for From Hope to Hilltop.

And too, many, many thanks for posting all the news about the incredible academic accomplishments of Adair County's young folks. I would think that by now there would (should) be a move afoot to change the name to Academic County!

I'll get the next installment of "100 years ago" to you tomorrow. I think a couple of your first wife's relatives are mentioned.

Thanks, Jim. Academic County, KY, does sound great. My first wife will be very appreciative iffen you mention some of the Old Turners. It'll tickle her mama no end. -Ed
