It first appeared in the October 2, 1901 Tennessee Ridge Some one may be interested in this part of the world--some of its people or its locality.Tennessee Ridge is so called from the fact, that most of its people or sojourners are originally from Tennessee, and you bet they are a good ways from there now.Part of the ridge is in the county of Casey and the other part in Adair, the Adair part being Republicans, mostly; but that doesn't mean the Ridge will always be Republican.Crops on the ridge are about an average, excepting Irish potatoes. They are no good. The people are industrious, law abiding citizens and principally good farmers, among whom I mention Thomas Sanders, Walker Absher, Thomas Mills, Wm. Odelburry Cooper, and others. This wisdom offered to Headmaster Dr. Johnny Vaughan of the Adair Assimilation Academy following its narrow escape from the charnel house of history by 2011-08-29 14:57:57 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Charles Marshburn: Prohibition failed Charles Marshburn writes: Prohibition supposedly ended in 1933. It was a failed experiment. Bootleggers were put out of business? Not in dry counties that failed to see the light! They are still in business and folks are driving 25 miles or more to purchase alcohol, drink it on the way back and have accidents that would not have occurred if the alcohol was available locally that they are going to drink anyway. Common sense will eventually prevail. I have faith. - Charles MarshburnComments re article 46510 BJ Fudge sends one liner for use in todays Great Slider War 2011-08-29 05:00:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Dr. Smith recalls when Columbia had White Castle wannabe Comments re article 46490 Another progressive speaks up for White CastleRoger D Smith DMD writes: Ed, Just a comment on the lack of "Sliders" in good old Columbia. I remember going to a trailer type diner in the present area of Pizza Hut in the late 60's. It was at a time when I was out exploring the world and I was only there a couple of times, but I think the name was Scotties. I do remember that we had tiny, square burgers late at night made in the style of White Castle and Krystal.Thanks, Dr. Smith. Seems you're right, as usual. It was a memorable place, in many ways. The trailerhouse burger empire was the brainchild of a Wayne County doctor. Anyway, for a brief time, Monticello was challenging Louisville for the food franchising capital of the world at least in the trailerhouse burger joints category. And Columbia had it's own, In Walking Distance of Lindsey Wilson College. Maybe a reader will send more. Maybe a photo. -EW 2011-08-29 03:40:32 | Comments | Printable version
