ADAIR COUNTY, AS A POLITICAL
DIVISION OF THE STATE.

4NOs ts
On December 9, 1903, the fol-
lowing portion of the then coun-
ty of Adair, was, by an act of
the legislature, cut off from
Adair, and added to the county
of Wayne: Beginning at the
mouth of Wolfe Creek, and
thence up the same to the line
of Pulaski county; thence south
with the line of Pulaski, to the
Cumberland river, and thence
with the river to the beginning"
On December 16, 1905, an act
of the General Assembly became
a law, which corrected and es-
tablished the line between Cum
berland and Adair counties, in
the following words: Begin.
ming at the mouth of Black Fish
Creek, on Cumberland river, and
thence a due north course to the
old line between said counties;
thence with the said old line
westwardly to the line of Bar
rem county,"
On November ID, 1906, the
county of Casey, was formed out
of the western portion of Lin
coin county, and in the statute
creating it, its territory is, thus,
described: Beginning on the
Lincoln and Pulaski line, where,
by running at right angles from
it, will just include in the new
county, Joseph Dismukes, on the
head of Indian Creek; thence a
direct line to the mouth of Pine
Lick Creek; thence to the great
suck on Carpenters Creek, leav.
ing Joseph McCormick's in the
old county; thence a direct line
to the great road west of Car.
penter's Station, leaving George
Carpenter in the old county
thence along the foot of the

where the county line crosses

line between Mercer, Washing

people of that time, which ar
entirely unknown to the presen
generation. After the formation
of Casey county, in the year
1906, the boundaries of Adai
county appear to have been a

leads from Columbia to Burks.
vile, short distance beyond the
present dwelling house of John
Wisdom, and about seventeen
miles from Columbia; thence in
an eastern direction and crossing
Crocus, just north of the present
John Bledsoe residence, near the
mouth of Sand Lick: thence in
the same direction, to where the
present line between Adair and
Russell intersects it; thence up
the Cumberland to where Wolfe
Creek empties into it; thence up
Wolfe Creek, to where the Pu-
laski county line then crossed it;
thence with the line Of Pulaski,
to the present line of Casey
county; thence with the Casey
line a course N. 45 degrees West
to Green river, at the old Jeffer-
son county corner; thence cross
ing Green river, and with the
line of Casey county. which was,
formerly, the line between Lin
coin and Jefferson, and Lincoln
and Nelson, and Lincoln and
Green, to the ridge, which d.
vides the waters of Casey's
Creek from those of the Rolling
Fork of Salt river; thence to the
head of the ridge between Cas-
ey's Creek and Robinson's Creek;
thence with said ridge, to Green
river; and thence with it to the
beginning.
The above territory embraced
a large portion of Russell county,
and about one-third or more of
Metcalfe county. Such remain
ed the boundary of the. scounty,
until in the year, 1925, when the
county of Russell was created
out of the territory of Adair,
Cumberland and Wayne. The
boundary of Russell, as describ-
ed in the legislative act which
created it, was as follows: BE
ginning on the Adair and Casey
county line, one mile southwark
ly, from William Jones', horizon
tai measure; thence a straight
line to the east end of Aaron
Williams (deceased) lane; thence
to Zachariah Collins, leaving sale
Collins in the old county; Themes
to a point on Crocus Creek, ont
mile below James Duncan's run
so as to leave Henry Antle ant
Adam Miller in the old county
thence to point on the Cumber
land river, one mile above tn,
Rock House, etc." The remain
der of the boundary is not given
as the portion above, describe
the line between Russell an,
Adair counties, except that tn
line between Russell and Adai
counties, stops at its intersection
with the old line between Adai
and Cumberland, and does no
extend to the Cumberland river
Caleb Ricketts,, a surveyor o
much distinction in Adair coun
ty, ran and marked the line.

Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,
Answering yours of the 18th
regarding the proposed date for
administration of hog cholera in
ocnlation. beg to advise that Oct
18th is thoroughly satisfactory.
and I will therefore make arran-
gements in a definite way
to have some one with you on
that date. Inasmucllas, accord ding
to our understanding, this is to
be a demo nstration, it would be
advisable not to have more than
three or four hogs represented
by one farm or one live stock
owner.
The demonstration in practi-
cal way, following the result of
this serum would proba bly, mean
subsequent visitation by some
one connected with the serum
plant of this Department in the
way of general incubation thro.
ughont the community This fea-
ture of the work to be demonst-
rated on the Is of the month, as
we have done in the past, is more
of an educational matter to con
vince the farmers that the serum
inoculation is the only undisput-
able method to prevent hog cho-
lera TO Nuke it possible to raise
swine without fearoftheir losses.
Yours truly,
