The Whitehurst Diaries: A misty morning walkabout

Sharon Whitehurst has praise for the morning - a special time in all of Adair County, a daily epiphany for a Gradyvillian - on her morning walkabouts preceded by dialogues with Pebbles the Old Horse, but with the constant, though mostly reticent, companionship with Willis C. Whitehurst, the Renaissance Cat, who's at home at home in 'his' house, in his barn, his pastoral fields of study, or doing misinterpreted scientific reseach on hummingbirds. -CM

JIM: Invasion of the Tin Lizzies

Surely this qualifies as an entry in The World Record Book of Guinnesses

By "Jim"

From the August 23, 1905 Adair County News:Mr. Henry Coleman is the first gentleman in Columbia to purchase an automobile. It arrived two weeks ago and evenings after tea, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman can be seen in it, traversing our public streets. Mr. W.R. Myers, we understand, will be the next purchaser, and before a great while there will probably be a half dozen in town.

Gem from history from Jim
