Rolling Store article reminded me of home By Linda Waggener Billy Joe Fudge's article about Grissom's Rolling Store in Adair County brought back memories of the one that served my grandparent's home on our gravel road between Sulphur Well and Center, KY in northern Metcalfe County. A Mr. Honeycutt was the driver of our truck that looked very much like the description of Mr. Grissom's store, from about the same time frame, I think, mid-1950s. I can picture Grandma Alice Bell Royce Marcum's basket of eggs I'd helped her collect from the hen house held in the crook of her arm. She had it and her purse ready to trade for some supplies from his store. We'd look up into the back of the store and he'd be able to hand down what we asked for from his inventory. We'd head back into the house as he drove on toward Center. I was so curious and had to check out every item, slowing her down. She called me Meddlesomejack. 2023-09-21 21:02:11 | Comments | Printable version

LWC gives back to the community on Malvina Farkle Day By Venus Popplewell LWC Director of Public Relations Lindsey Wilson College senior Sydney Wilson from Campbellsville, Kentucky, had never participated in the college's Malvina Farkle Day until this year. Because she has been a commuter student, Wilson said she always skipped the college's day of community service. That changed this year when Wilson was one of more than two dozen students in LWC's education program who took part in the day. "I attended the breakfast kick-off ceremony in the dining center," said Wilson who spent the morning assisting teachers at the Adair County Primary Center. "It was chaotic and loud, but it was fun to see everybody up that early and coming together to participate." Malvina Farkle Day is named in memory of a mythical Lindsey Wilson alumna and staff member who lived a life of service and fun. Classes are dismissed for the day while students spend the morning working on community service projects. The afternoon includes campus games and activities.
