In Memory of Elsa Bryant (May 23, 1910-February 21, 2008)


Dear Mom,


The 23rd of May, you would have been 100 years old. You looked forward to reaching 100, but you decided to go home sooner.

You always asked "What are you kids going to do for my 100th birthday?" and we said we were going to invite the whole town to celebrate your day.

Posting this notice is our way of letting everyone who knew you celebrate your memory.

We thank God for the 97 plus years of love and joy we had with you, and the fun and laughter you shared with everyone.

We are sure God is happy to have you back home with Him.

Love you still,
Del & Nan, Jo & David

Saturday school in Adair County, KY



2010-05-22 - Photo by Pen. West Fortune ST, Columbia, KY
Saturday school can't be all that bad. A student raced to the Adair County School bus on West High Street in Columbia early this morning for a very rare Saturday school day. A field trip to Beech Bend Park was scheduled for Adair County Middle School students, making some think that a 100% attendance might be possible today.

Mother cat and her three baby kittens available for adoption

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

A gray mother cat and her three baby kittens showed up at my front door this past Saturday morning. I know these precious little baby kittens did not follow their mother away from their home.

I suspect they have been dropped off by some careless indivdual. I have had numerous animals show up at my house in the last year or two. I love animals but I can't afford to feed every one that comes to my door. I take care of the ones that I have and if I want more I will ask for more.

If you have animals please take care of them and stop dumping them off around your neighborhood or wherever you please.

If you want this mother cat and her 3 babies please call me. (270) 384-5132. -Roxanne Roberts
