JIM: A response (of sorts) to questions recently posed by Mr. Billy Joe Fudge JIM gives a fascinating account from past Adair County Fairs, but actually comes down hard on both sides of the notion that the presence of a carnival adversely affects moral rectitude, stating, equivocally: "As far as the collective moral rectitude of the fair-going crowd being an inverse function of the presence (or absence) of a carnival - that's a tough question, one better answered by the Great Minds of Adair." By JIM, who studies such matters The following is a response to a couple of Large Questions recently posed here A Question for Jim on moral rectitude, presence of carnivals by Mr. Billy Joe Fudge in regard to an earlier CM piece. The astute reader will note that the author, in best political fashion, uses many words to obfuscate the obvious: that he doesn't have a clue what might be the answers to Mr. Fudge's questions. My Swiss cheese memory (getting Swiss cheesier by the day, thanks in part, no doubt, to the ever-increasing amount of direct sunlight hitting my increasingly less hirsute pate), can not dredge up any recollection of having read about a carnival being a part of the Columbia / Adair County Fair during the first 20 years or thereabout of the last century.

Mike Watson: Old Joseph Turner settlement on Crocus Photo with complete story By Mike Watson Adair County Historian In searching through old photos I found this one (accompanying photo) of the Old Joseph Turner settlement on Crocus. I took this in the late 1970s or early 1980s, not many years prior to the devastating fire that completely destroyed all evidence, save for the chimneys. Constructed of log, with parts of it going back to the first Turners on the site, it was one of the oldest buildings in that end of the county.
