More on the Alhambra and Cozy Theatres Click on headline for story with two photos, one of Cozy, the other of the Alhambra - which may not be the photo(s) to which Teri Close Tidwell refers. Teri Close Tidwell writes: I want to make a clarification to Larry's information in the caption below the picture. My father, Robert Close, ran both the Cozy and the Alhambra theaters until they were sold by the Sanders estate at auction in Feb. 1964. My mother, Ina Elizabeth Sanders Close, was one of four daughters of Paul Sanders, who with his father bought the Alhambra in 1922. My grandmother, Cornelia Jones Sanders, built the Cozy in the early '40s. Just wanted to clarify.Thank you, --Teri Close Tidwell 2017-07-11 14:47:09 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Kenny Absher lauds ACSO, State & County employees Kenny Absher I think Sheriff Moss and his staff do a tremendous job for the citizens of Adair County without a lot of credit and as we all know those who talk too much get heard the least, but I do think a little more reporting is needed. Also the State and County employees who mow the road right of ways do a job above and beyond their limited budgets. Thank all of you. - Kenny Absher Comments re article 91555 ACSO reports 3 arrests DUI allegations 911 Jul 2017 2017-07-11 10:43:57 | Comments | Printable version

Patent for the Triplett and Scott repeater carbine Yesterday, Rollin Knifley tipped us off to an interesting bit of Columbia history: Triplett & Scott repeater carbine invented by Adair Countians. Rollin wrote, "According to Wikipedia, the weapon is called the Triplett and Scott repeater carbine. It says the weapon was invented by Louis Triplett and William Scott of Columbia KY. It was issued to the Kentucky Home Guard Troops to protect the supply lines of the Union Army under General Sherman's command." Now, reader Michael Potter tracked down a copy of the original patent for the Triplett and Scott repeater carbine (PDF). Letters Patent 45,361 was awarded to Louis Triplett of Columbia, Kentucky on December 6, 1864, for "improvement in magazine or self-loading fire-arms." The PDF contains drawings and several pages describing the invention. 2017-07-11 10:30:13 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
