JIM: 110 years ago: A tale of love's labor lost - and found 'I will marry you or die,' the young bride from Pellyton country told her intended spouse, after an initial scheme to elope to Jeffersonville, IN, was thwarted by Louisville police at the request of her father Click on headline for complete fascinating accounty by JIM By JIM Around noon on a late September day in 1905, Miss Ethyl Rubarts, a resident of the Eunice community, was taken into custody as she departed a train at the 10th Street Station, Louisville, her offense being the heinous crime of wishing to marry the man she loved, Mr. Joe Thomas, a farmer of the Pellyton country. Mr. Thomas, a lad of about 23 summers, had been paying suit to Miss Rubarts for some two years with no objection from her father, G.W. Rubarts, Jr., until a short time earlier when the young couple broached the subject of marriage. Since she was but 17, parental consent was required. Not only did Mr. Rubarts adamantly refuse to give the consent, he forbade Mr. Thomas from paying call to his only daughter, and thus came about the scheme to elope to Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Sandra VanArsdale: Adair County Schools - It's about priorities Sandra VanArsdale writes: Buying the books isn't really the issue!! If a list of books used were offered to the parents and the cost for buying them, I would gladly go purchase my daughters books. But, they don't even offer you the information or opportunity to buy them. However, when the presence of the grounds appearances come before the actual education of the child, it is a problem. --Sandra VanArsdaleComments re: Gerald Doss: Bought own books in the 1950s 2015-09-20 08:41:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Brandon Burns sends complaint about CM headline Brandon Burns writes: Not sure why a headline needed to be created for my response stating my job then my thoughts. My reply to previous post was my thoughts that this site needs to be more information based then opinion giving. The comparison was thoughts of my own, I do not see the need for it to come across as "the LWC Bowling staff believes..." Nor do I feel this is consistent with headlines in replies for other posters. Our job is not who we are, it is what we do. - Brandon BurnsComments re article 77813 Lindsey Wilson Bowling coach compares CM to topix 2015-09-20 08:12:41 | Comments | Printable version

Lindsey Wilson Bowling coach compares CM to topix Brandon Burns writes: The problem with asking elected officials or politicians about community issues is they always give politically correct answers instead of saying what they believe. I would be more interested in seeing the entire details on what the vote was meant to be for. Contract particulars? Reasons for altercations in extension from previous contracts? Columbiamagazine use to be a good news source for information. Sadly, it is fastly becoming another gossip site like the infamous topix. Get back to providing information and limit the opinion giving. Public meetings are suppose to serve that purpose. --Brandon BurnsComments re article 77795 George Kolbenschlag Where are elected officials on school leadership 2015-09-20 07:44:51 | Comments | Printable version

Gerald Doss: Bought own books in the 1950s The Superintendent's contract renewal issue Gerald Doss writes: Ed, I went to high school in the fifties and we had to buy our own books. I'm sure you did also. So when did the superintendent become responsible for kids not having books? If we needed supplies, we went and bought them. The super has never furnished books and supplies that I know of - I bought things like that for my kids when they went to school. - Gerald DossThanks Gerald Doss - I do remember buying books in high school - and selling them to the next class when I was through. In graded school, the books were furnished. We live in a different age, where many books are available online to students. A problem with that is that forbidden annotations in the books were useful historical resources. Ups and downs of romances could be traced all the way to marriage there. My favorite inscription was a girl's inscription, "I love (name of boy) for every and always." which I stole to write to Linda on occasion, "I love Linda Reid Marcum for every and always." - EW 2015-09-20 05:37:13 | Comments | Printable version

Tom Chaney: The Hero Takes No Crap Of Writers And Their Books: The Hero Takes No Crap. Tom says one virtue is complexity of character as well as relationships between and among characters. Leonard’s westerns have this virtue. This column first appeared 10 October 2010. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Conversations: Alan Vance at The Gallery By Tom Chaney The Hero Takes No Crap For years my eyes have been skipping over Elmore Leonard whether it be on the western or the mystery shelf. Don't know of a reason, just that I had not read him and had no incentive to do so. So, it took me aback just a bit when I picked up a Leonard western and fell right into it -- we get so soon old and so late smart.
