Four years into his marriage, Adams realized that having a local post office would be a convenience in helping him to sell articles to out-of-town newspapers. Adams and 12 other residents who joined Adams in petitioning for a post office were authorized to start one, on condition that the community have a name. They picked Big Laurel, apparently unaware that another Big Laurel was already established just 50 miles east, in Virginia. The two communities have often been confused with each other ever since.

Reporting on this issue should have been rendered needless years ago, since cockfighting has been illegal at the federal level throughout the U. Tragically, the big groups that raised millions of dollars during the effort to ban cockfighting declared victory and went home once laws were passed to make it illegal.
