Early January 1924: Odds & ends from 95 years ago

In early 1924, America roared. Flappers flapped, drinkers imbibed bathtub gin, moonshine whisky, and bootleg bourbon, and the likes of Louie Armstrong and Bessie Smith drove the jazz age to new heights.

But meanwhile, back in The Shire. . .


By Jim

January 1924 ushered in cold weather, the coldest in six years, according to several residents, with thermometers registering from two to nine below across Columbia. Wryly observed the paper in the Tuesday, January 8 edition, "We would say something about the cold wave that struck last week, but we concluded that it would not be news as every body was made acquainted with it's pinching waves."

Still, things promised to heat up on the Burkesville Road exit corner of the Square.

KY AG joins appeal of Texas health care ruling

By Terry Sebastian/Crystal Staley

Frankfort, KY - Attorney General Andy Beshear has joined with a group of attorneys general on Thursday to appeal a federal judge's Dec. 14 ruling that threatens the health care coverage for over 1.3 million Kentuckians.

Beshear said his action is to prevent key health benefits from being stripped away from Kentuckians with pre-existing conditions, protect seniors' prescription drug discounts and prohibit companies from charging women and seniors more for their coverage.

The filing moves the defense of the ACA from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, allowing the attorneys general to appeal the federal judge's earlier ruling that the ACA is unconstitutional.

Letter: Help needed from Columbia City Council on Wain Street

To the Columbia City Council and Mayor Pam Hoots:

What would be the possibilities of having a white center stripe added to my Wain Street? It is fairly narrow but two cars can meet and pass, that is if they are good drivers!

Now for Oak Street you could not add a center stripe because neither side would be wide enough for a car to stay on their side, it is just to narrow and has at least three spots that vehicles have to stop and let oncoming traffic come through just because it's over a culvert or there is a wall on both sides making too small for two to meet and pass!
