Feedback: William Clay Jones, his unit are true public servants

To William Clay Jones and fellow National Guardsmen:

Just thought I would mention that Mr. Jones along with some more guys from his unit have been nice enough to assist the Adair County Band Boosters for the past few years with directing traffic at the Mark Twain Festival. These guys are true public servants and deserve our admiration. Thanks for all that you do!!!

Information wanted on photo of George Henry Nell home

Old picture believed to have once been a keepsake of Ottillia Elizabeth Scott Bell. It brings back memories of the writer's great aunt, and memories of a story of a woman who sang hymns and prayed to get through the terrible night when Big Creek swelled to create the worst natural disaster in Adair County History, the Gradyville Flood.

By Geniece Marcum

A fading photo was found among items which came from the Robert Winfield Scott family of Metcalfe County.

The back of the photo bears the inscription, " The George Henry Nell Home and Family"

The only connection we can find for it being there was that the Scotts' daughter, Ottillia Elizabeth Scott, married one Clayton Bell from Adair County on April 3, 1889.

GIGO Diary, for 2008-03-14: How to compost

Yesterday's GIGO was on yard waste: How it's good composting material, source of groundwater poison in landfills. Today, Barbara Armitage gives instructions on how to start a compost program for this summer's gardening.

And whether you garden or not , composting has benefits. -CM
