Early October 1900: Milliners, hotels, a tinner, and... Early October 1900 found the Brooklyn Superbas, a team for which soon-to-be Adair resident E.B. "Cy" Barger would later play -- with the National League baseball title locked up with three games left in the season. In North Carolina, brothers Orville and Wilbur quietly started a revolution in travel -- and warfare -- with their early experimentation with manned gliders. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the British electorate saw merit in 25-year-old Winston Churchill and voted him in as a Member of Parliament. But meanwhile, back in The Shire... By JIM Commerce seemed aboom. No fewer than three hotels in the county -- the Conover, on the exit corner of Greensburg Street; the Hancock, just off the Square on the entry side of Burkesville Street, and the Wilmore Hotel in downtown Gradyville -- offered service to the traveling public. J.W. Coffey, blacksmith and woodworker, offered all repairs in his line of work; carried "wagon and buggy tires, rims, spokes and all kinds of bolts;" and guaranteed satisfaction with his work. Gordon Montgomery, attorney at law with an office over Paull Drug (near the west corner of the Square) practiced in Adair and surrounding counties; Dr. M.O. Sallee, Dentist, invited business ("Careful attention given to mechanical and prosthetic dentistry. . .") at his quarters over Hughes, Coffey, & Hunter, near the south corner. Meanwhile, Hughes, Coffey, & Hunter had $7,000 worth of merchandise they wanted to sell for cash, everything from caps to Queenswear, from hardware to hosiery, from gents' furnishings to groceries, "In fact, everything kept in a general store."
