Cheryl Tillery and Jerry Rados of Willie Nell Road near Gradyville were at the Farmer's Market on the Square today. The devices Jerry is holding are 'boot pulls.' Should have asked whether he had made them, bought them at the market. For sure, the internationally know sword and knife maker could manufacture them if he set his mind to it. Cheryl is President of the Tebb's Bend Battlefield Association. - EW

Garden Club needs 50 bags of sand for Trabue House project

By Maury Lewis

The ACGC ( Adair County Garden Club) is replacing the sand between the bricks in the garden at the Trabue house. If any of the magazine readers have any bags or partial bags of sand left over from projects your home or business or church have done we could use them.

We have used play sand and paver sand and they both seem to be working we just need a lot more sand. We calculated about 50 bags would finish the job.

Knowing the difference between Fitz- and Kirk- patricks. Links

With apologies to the Fitzpatricks, for a brief post as Kirkpatricks. Very early this morning, the article about the visit of Archbishop Joseph Edward Kurtz to the Church of the Good Shepherd at 8amCT, Sun 25 Jun 2017, the author's surname was momentarily listed as Kirkpatrick, when in fact it is Fitzpatrick. Here are some links which may help others to distinguish between the two: Maybe ours was a common mistake, but not one easily forgivable by genealogists or family members, we'd suspect. Maybe readers can help.

By Sabine Eastham
Director of International Student Programs Lindsey Wilson College

Yes - summer break!! Usually a sign of relief and anticipation of good times to come - have you ever wondered what international students are doing during the long American summer break?

Most of them share the relief and anticipation of good times to come, they get to fly home, and/ or have the opportunity to travel extensively. Others will stay on campus; financial reasons, the need or wish to take additional classes, completing program requirements like an Internship, athletic training requirements, on campus employment and the wish to volunteer for programs like "Upward Bound" - for some it is a little bit of all.
