September 29, 1981 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the September 29, 1981 issue of the Adair County News. It included a history of Hill's Jolly Time Popcorn Company, which dominated the Public Square for a time in the late 1930s. Alumni of the business included T.P. "Cotton" Phelps, John Burr and Bill Walker. --Pen By Ed Waggener Successful graduates abound Many Adair Countians, when asked about their degrees, answer, "I went through the School of Hard Knocks." Others admit that they learned what they know by graduating from the Old Kroger Store, from the F & M Grill, and now, many say they have come through Houchens' U. There is a small but elite set of alumni from a little known firm which flourished in Columbia during the late 1930's. It was "Hill's Jolly Time Popcorn Company." Lawrence Hill, Ruth Hill Wells' uncle, who now lives in Lexington, owned the business. He was as entrepreneurial as any who ever lived here. As a boy, he developed a chain of popcorn stands. The poppers were of his own design and were fabricated at Walker Stove Company, on Reed Street in Columbia. Frank Cole, (who later bought the business and renamed it Cole's Tin Shop, the name it thrives under today) under the proprietorship of Charles Cole, built the poppers.

Secretary Adams updates legislature on general election By Miranda Combs Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams testified this week before the Interim Joint Committee on Appropriations & Revenue, offering legislators an update on his efforts to ensure a safe and successful general election. Secretary Adams' full remarks are below. Mr. Chairman, members of the committee, good afternoon. Let me first observe that, over the past several months, a lot of legislators have come up to me and said, "You know, Adams, I was wrong about you." Unfortunately, all of those legislators have been Republicans.... [laughter] In all seriousness, Kentuckians of all political persuasions should be pleased with how we've run our elections this year. As I testified on July 28, in our primary election we gave voters options, we had high turnout, we had no spike in COVID-19 cases, and we had no evidence of vote fraud. Challenged by out-of-state haters, we proved them wrong and became a national success story. My goal for the general election has been to keep what worked well and improve what didn't. Governor Beshear agreed with this goal and we spent about a month working through details. The template plan we worked off of came from a bipartisan group of county clerks and members of the State Board of Elections. To be sure, the final agreement helps Democrats. It also helps Republicans. It also helps Independents, Libertarians and any other voter who wants to participate safely in this election.
