Memorable Old Columbia: Homage to Carl H & L. Carroll 2011-06-12 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Columbia's homage to Carl Hutchison and Lewis Carroll: Both the clock on the historic Adair County Courthouse and the one on the Bank of Columbia were in perfect harmony Friday night and both were as right as the atomic clocks on cell phones at the time. But the Bank of Columbia clock runs. The courthouse clock is arrested at 7:35, maybe in homage to a legendary Columbia figure, Carl Hutchison, the longtime, official Keeper of the Clocks. And it also serves to bolster Adair County's rightful claim to being the cradle of American literature by virtue of being the place where Mark Twain is fervently believed to have been conceived. It's a literary reminder of "Alice in Wonderland," and the White Rabbit's answer to the clock question about which is better, one that is right twice a day or one which is right only once a year? Our Adair County Clock is the better one. It's right twice a day. -EW. Photo by Linda Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

That undefeated Rotary Club Little League team ca 1954 2011-06-11 - 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Joe Allison. The Rotary Club Little League and the Merchants Team were given a big parade in downtown Columbia in what Dr. Ron Rogers believes was the year 1954. The teams rode the American La France Fire truck, the 1954 equivalent of today's Ladder 1. The photo is part of the Dr. Ron Rogers collections. The truck appears to be parked in the traffic lanes in a area in front of the Bank of Columbia. The adults standing are, left Joe Johnson coach of the undefeated Rotary Club team, and Brooks Coomer, center coach of the Merchants team. The name of the third adult was not known at posting.The names of all the players haven't been collected, but will be added as received. The boys were treated to an inspiring speech by Adair County's most famous baseball player of all times and a great uncle of Dr. Rogers, Eros Bolivar "Cy" Barger. Barger was a native of Jamestown, KY. He spent his post professional baseball years in Columbia and is buried in the Columbia City Cemetery. See Cy Barger in Wikipedia. In the background, the building with the sign S.E. Kelsay, is the still familiar building now housing Wid Harris' Town Barber Shop and Mouser Real Estate. Thanks to Dr. Ron Rogers and Alan Reed for this photo and information. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
