This strikes a chord of sadness. How well I remember going to Dr. Nell's office. I remember Miss Jewel Grider also. I was a regular there due to asthma and allergies. They were like family to me. I know things have to change, but change brings back many memories. --Debbie Selby

Kentucky Color - One of a Kind?

Well travelled Great Wooded South and Kentucky Color Columnist says the 400-ft. long Black Shale, dry stacked retaining wall on Crocus Creek in the Republican School area is the only one he's ever seen. It very well could be another unique structure the likes of which are found only here, in the Adair County center of the Great Wooded South.

Chuck Hinman: IJMA 313 : Wardrobe mania

It's Just Me Again No. 313, by Chuck Hinman: Wardrobe mania -by- Chuck Hinman :: Connie's clothes -- colorful and stylish
The next earlier Chuck Hinman column is: Chuck Hinman: IJMA No. 098: The Watkins Man

By Chuck Hinman

One of the reason I chose the apartment where I live was the number and size of the clothes closets. Although Connie was living out her last days at a nearby nursing home, I kept and managed her daily wardrobe needs from where I lived.

My clothes occupied very little of the vast closet space. So what's new?

JIM: Ben Carter, Overland to Santa Fe - Part 5 of 5

EARLIER installments in this fascinating narrative written by an Adair Countian :


By JIM

In 1850, Adair County native Ben Carter, then a stripling lad of eighteen, took leave of the familial hearth and home in Breeding, Ky. and went west, briefly settling in Missouri until the spring of 1851, when he embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. Sixty years later, the Adair County News published a series of five letters from Mr. Carter which detailed his journey - an overland trip from Kansas City to Santa Fe.
