Museum Piece. Remember these old Fitzgibbon coal burning boilers? This one, not is use, is still in place in the Adair County Middle School, originally built as Adair County High School. Mr. Jones did not say when the old boiler was replaced. Maybe a reader will know more about it, and may have information of it's value as a collectible or scrap material. - EW Comments | Permalink

Friendly faces abound along Adair County byways, none with a more pleasing 'cow-tenance' - to borrow from Jim's, "Cowlumbia" invention - than these two naturals, seemingly waiting to 'have their picture took,' with no fuss or coaching. - EW Comments | Permalink
