JIM - Mrs. Berg Visits Columbia: The Rest of the Story

"And thus is the story of the young agnostic who, shortly before leaving Columbia, spoke to the News, in a charming Garrison Keillor / Powder Milk biscuit sort of way: "The hack ride from Campbellsville over here caused me to think that Columbia was an out of the way place, and I feared the meeting would a failure, but after seeing the town and becoming acquainted with many of the residents, I knew it would be a success. Why, you have a city and your people have city ways. I have never been in a community where I found more intelligence. Every body is educated, even the small boys and girls. You have miles of concrete [sidewalks] and the large majority of homes are beautiful and attractive, and the hospitality of the residents is unexcelled. I just tell you I am in love with Columbia, and my husband and father are with me in this expression."

Betsy Fausnaugh comments on county's surplus sale

Betsy Fausnaugh writes:
Just was wondering where the sale of these items was listed in advance. Also seems that if the junk mower and other metal junked items were taken to the recycler, the county would get more money, than the few dollars they got. Or is this not feasible? Inquiring minds across Big Creek are wondering. --Betsy Fausnaugh
