Jim sends links to two other Cane Valley articles By "Jim" There is a great article about Cane Valley, 1908, penned by "founder" Patrick Henry (P.H.) Bridgewater (1834-1912), appears in Cane Valley, Then and Now in Kentucky Kinfolks, taken from the Adair County News of May 13, 1908.The quote by Miss Blevins is priceless! The article lists the businesses in Cane Valley in that year. And seven Cane Valley advertisers were found in the pages of that Adair County News issue. Another Cane Valley article, this one written in early 1918, appeared on CM some years ago: Cyrus/Cane Valley, 1918, with ''On the Road'', tells of a warm visit by the writer of travelogues in those days, when he visited Cane Valley, KY, "on a cold, disagreeable day." 2010-02-25 06:32:46 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Economic Gardening can work in Columbia-Adair Co., KY Chairman of Economic Development Authority promotes plan to incubate businesses in Columbia and Adair Co., KY. Programs in Liberty, London, and Scottsville, KY are already underway, with overall great success. Adair County has trained, certified entrepreneurial coaches, a special entrepreneurial section at Adair Public Library, a unique resource in Lindsey Wilson College, backing of CJE and Mayor, and an Economic Development Authority and Chamber of Commerce set to be the driving force behind this grassroots, bootstrap plan to invigorate the local economy. By Doug McCammish Chairman, Columbia-Adair Co. Economic Development Authority In these difficult economic times when everyone is looking for jobs either for themselves or others, there are several interesting things going on, although not necessarily in Washington. Several states and communities are pursuing a strategy called "Economic Gardening" in which the objective is to support new and growing small businesses, rather than spend tax dollars trying to attract large factories. Others are recognizing that, contrary to what you might think, tough economic times seem to foster new product and service ideas . It is sort of a "given lemons, make lemonade" theme.

I noted the article about Ms Clara Smith Rodgers riding to Cane Valley on horseback to shop. This brought to mind a piece written by Lorena F. Jackson (a Farris family historian) that describes a horseback ride by Lavelle Farris Shepherd's father, Rollin Farris at four years of age. Thanks, s/Morris Shepherd As always, thanks, Mr. Shepherd, for the reminder of this delightful story by the late Lorena Farris Jackson, (1918-2004).
