Memorable Old Columbia: Homage to Carl H & L. Carroll 2011-06-12 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Columbia's homage to Carl Hutchison and Lewis Carroll: Both the clock on the historic Adair County Courthouse and the one on the Bank of Columbia were in perfect harmony Friday night and both were as right as the atomic clocks on cell phones at the time. But the Bank of Columbia clock runs. The courthouse clock is arrested at 7:35, maybe in homage to a legendary Columbia figure, Carl Hutchison, the longtime, official Keeper of the Clocks. And it also serves to bolster Adair County's rightful claim to being the cradle of American literature by virtue of being the place where Mark Twain is fervently believed to have been conceived. It's a literary reminder of "Alice in Wonderland," and the White Rabbit's answer to the clock question about which is better, one that is right twice a day or one which is right only once a year? Our Adair County Clock is the better one. It's right twice a day. -EW. Photo by Linda Waggener Permalink | Comments?
