JIM: 100 years ago, mid October 1915 Snow and heavy rains plagued Adair County 100 years ago about this time of year, as today, it was a time of a great many revivals and church news was big; the Sandusky Brothers, agents for Ford automobiles, advertised a car for $461; a new planing mill was built in White City; and Lindsey Wilson was preparing for its first-ever football game, set for October 23, 2015 Click on headline for news of Adair County 100 years ago. By JIM Mid-October 1915 found Adair County in the midst of a cold snap with long time News correspondent W.M. Wilmore reporting snow within the metes and bounds of Gradyville. Preceding the snow, heavy rains had fallen. The paper reported "Pelham Branch was higher last week than ever known before," and Mr. Wilmore stated the same about Big Creek. Weather notwithstanding, there were enough goings-on reported in the October 13th edition to sate the heartiest of news appetites. The Fiscal Court had just spent thirty-five hundred dollars on road equipment, most notably a roller, engine, grader, and rock crusher, and openly congratulated itself for making a shrewd deal. The News, ever a champion of improved transportation, endorsed the expenditure, optimistically opining "the outlook is good for making better roads in Adair County."

Tom Chaney: Literature and the Plague Of Writers And Their Books: Literature and the Plague. Tom discusses Katherine Anne Porter who in 1939 published the novella Pale Horse, Pale Rider in which she recounted her pull toward death from influence. This column first appeared 21 November 2010. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: The First Black Novel (More than Likely) By Tom Chaney Literature and the Plague A few weeks back I wrote about John M. Barry's compelling study of The Great Influenza. I was struck, as was he, by how few writers in their fiction have dealt directly with the influenza epidemic. Mary McCarthy lost both parents in November 1918. "She said almost nothing of the epidemic." John Dos Passos was ill with influenza in his early twenties. He barely alludes to it in his fiction. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Faulkner pretty much ignore it. Only Katherine Anne Porter meets the monster head on. She was a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News in Denver when both she and her fiancé contracted the disease.
