JIM sends AAA Public Service ad for new comers

For incomers and the more mehaineous native born but dumber'n a hammer who may not what has to be known about Tennessee Ridge. -CM

By "Jim"

The following is presented herewith as a public service by the Adair Assimilation Academy for the educfication of Adair Countians who weren't always "of here." It first appeared in the October 2, 1901 Adair County News

Tennessee Ridge

Some one may be interested in this part of the world--some of its people or its locality.Tennessee Ridge is so called from the fact, that most of its people or sojourners are originally from Tennessee, and you bet they are a good ways from there now.Part of the ridge is in the county of Casey and the other part in Adair, the Adair part being Republicans, mostly; but that doesn't mean the Ridge will always be Republican.Crops on the ridge are about an average, excepting Irish potatoes. They are no good. The people are industrious, law abiding citizens and principally good farmers, among whom I mention Thomas Sanders, Walker Absher, Thomas Mills, Wm. Odelburry Cooper, and others.

This wisdom offered to Headmaster Dr. Johnny Vaughan of the Adair Assimilation Academy following its narrow escape from the charnel house of history by Indiana Kentucky "Jim."
