  • Looking Back Mcnairy County Independent 1950
    Looking Back McNairy County Independent 1950 Transcribed by Nancy Wardlow Kennedy Proofed and setup by Peggy Derryberry Gould Pictures included in these newspapers are in a separate folder It was impossible to list everything that happened and all the people - but I tried. I did not add all the visitations, like ‘Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith were visiting in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Plunk,’ or I would still be typing. I did try to list all gatherings, school and church events and obits. I was asked once why a certain community’s news was not listed and I stated that community did not have any news published. Included is all community news included in the paper, except those that just listed the visitation (as mentioned above.) I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed transcribing. JANUARY 6, 1950 Report shows 17,569 bales of cotton were ginned in McNairy County in 1949. This figure is 3,588 bales short from the previous year. Sheriff Kirkpatrick and deputies, I.W. Randolph, W.E. Randolph, Willie Smith and Rosco Garrison, and patrolmen Gattis and McClearen been busy the last few weeks bringing in more whiskey stills. A 24 barrel outfit found and destroyed near old Purdy. One person in the Michie area arrested for possession of seven gallons of wildcat whiskey. One man arrested at the State Line for possession of 4 pints whiskey. Sheriff and deputies, along with Laney Smith, brought in an eight barrel outfit from the Rose Creek area. Seven of the barrels had been cooked off.

  • The Work of Denny (1936), Smith (1949, 1953), and Wolfe (1953) Suggest the Significance of Periglacial Processes That Once Occurred in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
    B-12 WEDGE-SHAPED STRUCTURES IN BEDROCK AND DRIFT, CENTRAL NEW YORK STATE P. Jay Fleisher SUNY, College at Oneonta INTRODUCTION 'Wedge-shaped structures resembling ice-wedge casts and fossil ice veins have been found in both bedrock and drift hosts on the eastern Appalachian Plateau of central New York. These features are exposed in the walls of four separate borrow pits at three different localities within the upper Susquehanna River drainage, south of the Mohawk Valley and northwest of the Catskill Mountains. All three localities are within otsego County and can be found on the Milford, Richfield Springs and Mt. Vision quadiangles. The index map of figure 1 illustrates the location of each site as well as their general topographic setting. Based on their respective locations they are referred to as the Crum­ horn Mountain, Fitch-Metcalf, and Laurens-Nt. Vision sites. The purpose of this paper is to review the physical characteris­ tics and occurrences of these wedge structures and consider what, if \ &ny, paleoclimatic significance they hold. A review of the literature indicates that previous authors have reported many features in various parts of the northeast as being related to periglacial processes. The main question under consideration is whether the structures discussed here are in any way related to permafrost processes. A variety of permafrost and frost related features have been reported for the New Fngland area by Denny (1951), Kaye (1960), and Keteff (1961). The work of Denny (1936), Smith (1949, 1953), and Wolfe (1953) suggest the significance of periglacial processes that once occurred in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
