Every moment inside the old courthouse is a history lesson. Like this one where Lash Davenport, 11, takes over the Judges bench in the historic Adair County Courthouse as many have in past. Was the last to preside here Judge/Executive R.L. Walker? Lash just needs a gavel. He is the son of Todd and Cayce Stockton Davenport and the grandson of Bill and Bonnie Davenport and of Joe and Candy Stockton Flowers. During his brief rule at the bench, Lash said, “I’ve decreed my little brother Emmett should sit down!” The boys were there with their parents setting up their booth for Christmas in Columbia tomorrow, December 2, 2017. - LW.
