JIM: 100 years ago - Commencement in Columbia, 1913

Activities at Lindsey Wilson were over a week long
This installment of Commencement in Columbia covers activities at Lindsey Wilson. Next installment will be Commencement in Columbia, 1913, Part II: The Graded School

By JIM

Simply put, anyone in Columbia who complained of "nothing to do" in the middle weeks of May 1913 lived under a rock -- a very large, heavy rock -- especially considering the cornucopia of events featured free admission.

The festivities began with the annual Lindsey Wilson Field Day on Friday, May 9th and continued through the commencement service for the "County Graded School" class of 1913 on Thursday, May 22nd, with a whirlwind of activities between.

Adair County authors: Albert C. Wyckoff

A chance to learn more about Adair's rich literary heritage before attending the big book fair.
Adair County Book Fair, 2013, Second Annual sale and show, on June 1, 2013, 10am-3pmCT/11am-4pmETat the Historic Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY.

By Mike Watson

Rev. A.C. Wyckoff wrote books, primarily for the young readers of America, from the late 1920s through the early 1950s.

Boys all across the nation waited with anticipation for the next installment of the adventures of the courageous Mercer Boys, the mystery hunters.

These wonderful books were reprinted at least into the 1960s. Collectors still seek some of the more elusive volumes, particularly those that were not reprinted in the years after World War II, though most of the Mercer Boys series did have a new wave of readers in the 1950s.

Brother Wyckoff pastored the Presbyterian Church in Columbia from 1943 until his untimely death in 1953.

Happy Tails: May 19-25, 2013 is Dog Bite Prevention Week

I watched the Preakness Stakes on Saturday. Unfortunately we will go another year without a Triple Crown winner. Orb was the favorite and went off with even odds. (Now that's an oxymoron) and Oxbow, the horse who won the Derby, was a 15-1 shot. The previous day was the Black Eyed Susan stakes (the Preakness for the fillies). The favorite, Emollient, finished 6th place out of 7 and the race was won by FiftyShadesofHay, who was 2-1.

Jackson Brower remembers bands, Earl Napier bear-spotting

Headhunters had song about Celina, TN, which brings to mind Earl Napier's mostly derided bear spotting in Clay County, Tennessee. But Earl Napier was likely right, Jackson Brower thinks.
Comments re Carol Perkins: Great bands at Specks, Richmond, KY


By Jackson Brower

Great article by Carol Perkins. I'm unfamiliar with Speck's in Richmond, KY, but I did get a chance to see Exile in 1980, I believe, at the Club 68 in Lebanon.

Next earlier Chuck Hinman column - The Grocery Cart Story

By Chuck Hinman

You Did What?

Most of us men will live long enough to do something dumb enough to trigger a sarcastic "you did what" response from our wives. It is unavoidable so don't sulk when it happens. You are NOT abnormal!

The Diligent Heart: Margaret Vance Anderson

On May 17, 1954 the United States Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education that separate was not equal thus striking down the foundation of Jim Crow segregation.

Two years earlier Federal District Judge Robert L. Taylor had ruled in another case, McSwain vs. Anderson County, (Tennessee) that a suit to desegregate the schools in Clinton, Tennessee, was not justified and that Clinton segregation was not in violation of the law.
