Jim: Patent pending: some Adair County inventors and inventions "Jim" has been doing what most people do this time of the year: Perusing patent files. and what he's found should change every Adair Countians pride and confidence forever. Ich Bin Ein Adair Countian will create a tighter choke, an icier spinal chill wherever it's uttered. Jim's research makes Menlo Park seem a two year old child's Leggo play room by comparison to the Great Laboratories of Adair County. The famous Invalid people conveyor, Sam Eubank's water pump, harness hangers, J.C. Eubank's tooth harrow, rated the best ever after a field test by the editor of the News; Jno. Eubank's snathe, which forever changed the the world of scything; the famed Amanda Go Pat automobile, great uncle Paul Waggener's unique and very convenient envelope, and perhaps as important as any, one none of us could ever forget George Hood's one man saw, which revolutionized the firewood industry for all times. All these and many more, inventoried below, are patented products of Adair County genius. By "Jim" (Researching in old newspapers can lead a body down some mighty strange side trails. Such is the case with the following, where one tantalizing morsel led to another. And another. And another. And.........) Adair Countians have never been known for a lack of industry or ingenuity. Never was this more evident than in the first two decades of the 20th century, or, more precisely, from the years 1903 through 1922, when several Adair Countians applied for and were granted patents for an astonishing array of inventions.

Hunter Durham remembers riding Greyhound, alone, at 9 Bus drivers looked after him along the way, on trips to Starks Building in Louisville to visit dentist Hunter Durham writes: I rode the bus from Columbia to Louisville and back with Mr. Henry Morgan and I believe the other bus driver was named Stewart. I would go at the age of 9 by myself to the dentist in Louisville where he worked on my braces at the Starks Building, catch a show on 4th Street and then get back on the bus at the bus station located at 5th and Broadway. We got involved with a bunch of bees which came into the bus north of Bardstown, a bus wreck just north of Lebanon, and I often stood by the driver as we traveled. The drivers took good care of me. The bus station then was at the Old Hotel on the Square. -HunterComments above re article 42498 The Greyhound A trip to 4th ST was like a trip to NYC 2011-02-17 10:18:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
John Walker remembers father driving Greyhound route Columbia Run, through Campbellsville, Lebanon, Springfield, Bardstown, and Fern Creek, ended in 1986, he remembers John Walker writes: I do remember when Greyhound had a route from Columbia to Louisville. My dad, Clifton Walker, drove a Greyhound bus from 1981 to 1987. He called the route from Columbia to Louisville the "Columbia Run". He drove that route part time, when the full-time driver, Joe Banks, I believe from Columbia, was either off work or driving another route. The route started in Columbia, then to Greensburg, Campbellsville, Lebanon, Springfield, Bardstown, Fern Creek, then finally to the bus station in Louisville.The Columbia Run ended I believe in 1986 because not enough people were using the route. -John WalkerComments re article 42492 Query Wants information on the Greyhound Bus in Columbia KY 2011-02-17 10:05:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
