The two main characters travel to the west to open up a new dentist practice and find themselves saving the day against the hostile Indians. Thunderbird made another appearance in 1936 in the film For the Service, wherein he played Chief Big Bear.

The school's mascot is the billy goat and its athletic teams' nickname is the "Billies". Formerly the teams were known as the Hillbillies, but only for three years in the "Ma and Pa Kettle" movie era. An early publication of the school in the 1920s was The Goat's Gazette, showing that the original team name did refer to the goat, not "hillbillies." In 1910, the basketball team went undefeated, beating the University of Oregon's second team as well as Springfield and Eugene high schools.

The Clarksville Volunteers were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League (KITTY League) from 1910 to 1915 and in 1916. They were located in Clarksville, Tennessee, and played their home games at League Park. The team operated under various names over their six-year run: the Volunteers in their first and last years (1910 and 1916), the Clarksville Billies (1911), Clarksville Rebels (1912), and Clarksville Boosters (1913–1914). They won the KITTY League pennant in 1912.

The first Europeans were part of the Mormon migration to Utah, and the first of these was the Pace family, who migrated from Nauvoo, Illinois, reaching Thistle in 1848. Fifth-generation descendants of the Pace settlers continued to operate a family-owned cattle ranch until the town was evacuated. Other settlers included Mormons who originally settled elsewhere in Utah but subsequently arrived to homestead fertile ground on Billies Mountain, on the north wall of the canyon. Among them was the mountain's presumed namesake, William Johnson.

Trams and other vehicles on East Street, Rockhampton, 1923 Rockhampton Council Tramways was a steam tram service which was operated by Rockhampton City Council from 1909 until 1939 in the city of Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia. Rockhampton was the only regional city in the state of Queensland to have had a tram service. The line has since been rebuilt and is operated as a tourist attraction by the Archer Park Rail Museum.Nicholson, Judy; Rocky's Puffing Billies: A History of the Rockhampton Steam Trams, printed by Capcopy, 1988.

East Tennessee Blues is an American old-time fiddle song, which dates back to the early 20th century. Written by Charlie Bowman (born in Gray Station, in East Tennessee), it was first recorded by Al Hopkins, (aka The Hill Billies) in 1926. Well-known bluegrass artists, such as Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, and Tommy Jackson have released versions of the song. A mainstay of bluegrass music, the song continues to be performed by singers such as Sierra Hull and the Steep Canyon Rangers, as well as the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass Pride Band.

Still, they became The Hill Billies, and although they soon had qualms about the name (Alderman would later say, "Hillbilly was not only a funny word; it was a fighting word."), fellow musician Ernest Stoneman encouraged them to keep it: "Well, boys, you have come up with a good one. Nobody could beat it." With Hopkins' doctor brother dead, there was no reason to stay in Galax, and the band based itself in Washington, D.C., where they soon became regulars on WRC; on the radio, Hopkins mother sang with them on the ballads.

The Dutch Landrace has been known in the Netherlands since the seventeenth century, and was common until the early twentieth century, when Swiss Saanen and Toggenburg goats were imported in large numbers and cross-bred with local stock. By 1958 only one pair of the goats remained, and attempts to find others were unsuccessful. Because the descendants of these two goats were heavily inbred, the decision was taken to cross-breed them with a number of unrelated goats. Numbers grew, and by 2020 there were some 2000 nannies and 200 billies.

Back on board Dickersion where the fire had burst forth again, Bunchs fire and rescue party — aided by a contingent from Crosley — succeeded in getting gasoline-driven handy-billies in operation to battle them. Bunch passed a towline and three fire hoses across to Dickerson and began to tow her, while men cut away Dickersons port-side boats to lessen the list. Soon, however, the towline and hoses parted, and the salvagers lost their hard-won gains when the fires broke out with renewed vigor as a result.

During this time, the state stationed two full-time watches at the cuts, who would close the road while falling rocks were cleared. The cut through Billies Mountain was described by the construction crews as a new, man-made mountain pass. The pending completion of the again- rebuilt US‑6/US‑89, with properly laid asphalt and stable rock cuts, was announced in November 1984, 18 months after the closure of the original alignment. Starting in 1993, the Utah Department of Transportation began discussions with former Thistle residents to build a memorial to the town.

In a new, Class B Southeastern League took the field, with six teams — representing Montgomery, Alabama; Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida; and Albany, Columbus and Savannah, Georgia. Although this league would be periodically shut down by the Great Depression and World War II, it continued as a Class B circuit, four levels below Major League Baseball, through . Its lineup of teams in its final season included the champion Pensacola Fliers, Meridian Millers, Montgomery Rebels, Jackson Senators, Vicksburg Billies, Selma Cloverleafs, Gadsden Pilots and Anniston Rams. Both Gadsden and Anniston withdrew from the league before the end of the season.

He still played some concerts with Bad Manners at larger venues, along with some new musicians and a few other original band members. In 1988, Bloodvessel licensed the Blue Beat Records name and logo, and ran the record label from an old houseboat in Hackney. Blue Beat issued a number of releases, notably by Bad Manners, Napoleon Solo, Buster's Allstars, and the Billies, but the label folded in 1990. Bloodvessel has appeared in the 1987 films Out of Order and Sammy and Rosie Get Laid before landing a part in an episode of Boon in 1990.

Following her first appearance on WBRE, Allen went to WORK in York, Pennsylvania, and was a vocalist on Shorty Fincher's radio show Prairie Pals. In 1943 she moved to New York City and performed on Denver Darling's Swing Billies pseudo- western radio show. In 1944 she became a regular on Zebe Carver's Hill Country Jamboree show, which led to an offer of her own show the same year. The half- hour program, Prairie Stars on WOV in New York, aired six nights a week and was so popular that Country Music magazine named her the most famous country music personality in Manhattan.

He averaged 24.3 points in the 1958–59 season and earned EBA Rookie of the Year honors. He played twelve seasons in the league, primarily for the Billies and the Sunbury Mercuries, and was the all-time leading scorer in the league's history (prior to it becoming the Continental Basketball Association in 1977) and won the league MVP award in 1966. In 1995, McCoy was named to the CBA's 50th anniversary team. After the conclusion of his playing career, McCoy served as a teacher and head boys' coach for John Harris High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from 1971 to 1983.

Manners was born in San Francisco but raised in Los Angeles, where he attended Fairfax High School and learned to play fiddle, banjo, and piano. He played in a traveling revue for a time before joining several Western swing groups. In the 1930s he came to lead a group called The Beverly Hill Billies, who were a popular radio attraction long before the TV show of the same name became a hit. Manners's show, featuring himself on accordion and organ, mixed comedy with Western Swing and was broadcast on Los Angeles's KMPC as well as in New York City.

During this time, Clifton met and played music with artists such as A.P. Carter, The Stanley Brothers, and Woodie Guthrie, to name just a few. He had many connections throughout old-time, bluegrass, country, and folk music - which reflected his unique repertoire and sound. His singing style was deemed to have more of a folk revivalist influence rather than a "hillbilly" sound - which was the popular sound of the previous years. Because the instrumental style of his band had more of a "contemporary bluegrass" sound along with his "folk revivalist" vocals, he was deemed one of the first "city-billies" in bluegrass music.

The band's performance was during the third consecutive year at which they had played at the venue (although in 1993 only as a warm up for The Tragically Hip / The Samples.). Guitarist Tim Reynolds guested with the band during the entire show. Most of the songs featured were from the band's most recent album Under the Table and Dreaming. "Ants Marching," "Satellite," "Seek Up," "Recently," and "Tripping Billies" originally appeared on the band's first album, Remember Two Things, while "Proudest Monkey," "Two Step," "Lie in Our Graves," and "Drive In Drive Out" would not appear as studio recordings until the release of Crash in 1996.

Probe Records, relocated to Bluecoat Chambers in 2010 Probe Records is a small independent record shop in Liverpool, England. Founded in 1971 by Geoff Davies, the shop was originally located on Clarence Street, off Brownlow Hill with a second location soon opened in the basement of Silly Billies clothes shop. The shop relocated in 1976 to Button Street around the corner from Eric's Club on Mathew Street and found itself at the centre of the city's emerging punk and new wave music scene, acting as a supporter of local independent bands and musicians. Davies admitted that he was far more a music enthusiast than he was a businessman.

In his senior season, McCoy broke out, scoring 27.3 points per game – good for second in the Big Ten Conference behind Robin Freeman of Ohio State. At the close of his senior campaign, McCoy was named a third-team All-American by both the Associated Press and United Press International and was selected first-team All-Big Ten. After the close of his college career, McCoy was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks in the 1956 NBA draft. However, he was also drafted into the U.S. Army and served in the military, resuming his basketball career with the Williamsport Billies of the Eastern Basketball Association (EBA) in 1958.

The breed appears to be of ancient origin. While it shares some characteristics with the Swiss Toggenburger, notably the "Swiss markings" (white facial stripes, white lower limbs and peri-anal area), it was already established well before the importation of Toggenburg billies to the area, documented from the years before and after the Second World War. A painting from about 1760 by the Milanese painter Francesco Londonio (1723–1786) shows a goat of Bionda dell'Adamello type, with typical coat and facial markings. The Bionda dell'Adamello is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders.

Under the Table and Dreaming and its follow-up album, Crash, brought the band a Grammy Award and four additional Grammy nominations. The band won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group for "So Much to Say". In addition, the band was nominated for the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group and the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Short Form for "What Would You Say", and was nominated for the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album for Crash and the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song for "Too Much". The band achieved hits with "Crash into Me", "Too Much", and "Tripping Billies".

The first novel of the same name, Heaven, commences with Heaven and her family's pitiful struggle against poverty in the hills of the West Virginia mountains. Heaven, her father Luke Casteel, her stepmother Sarah, her four half brothers and sisters, Tom, Fanny, Keith and Our Jane, and her grandparents live in a one bedroom shack in the Willies, the mountains above the town Winnerow. Scorned by the people of the valley as being "hill-billies" and "hill scum", Heaven's pride remains intact, although she is wounded by her father, who ignores her as if she does not exist while lavishing attention on the other children. One night, Heaven's granny takes her to the graveyard and shows her a gravestone with the word "Angel" carved upon it.

The film's original title was Mellodicks, which Marcus found repugnant. He offered $50 to any employee of RKO who could come up with a better title. While he received numerous suggestions, he finally settled on the picture's final title, which had been a generic title around the RKO lot for years. In all, Marcus produced the final six films made by duo between 1934 and 1937, the others being The Rainmakers (1935), Silly Billies (1936), Mummy's Boys (1936), and High Flyers (1937). Marcus would continue in his dual role at the studio for the 1935-36 season, scheduled to produce 36 shorts as well as three feature films. In May 1936, RKO exercised their option on Marcus, extending his contract.

Thomas Woodley "Woody" Abernathy (October 16, 1908 - February 11, 1961) was a professional baseball player whose career spanned 13 seasons in minor league baseball.

Clarksville, Tennessee, had been previously represented in the Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League by the Clarksville Villagers in 1903 and the Clarksville Grays in 1904. From 1910 to 1916 the city fielded a team known as the Clarksville Volunteers (1910 and 1916), Clarksville Billies (1911), Clarksville Rebels (1912), and Clarksville Boosters (1913–1914). After a 39-year absence, Clarksville returned to the KITTY League in 1946 with the Colts, who played their home games at Goodrich Park. They lost their season opener, 11–0, to the Hopkinsville Hoppers before a home audience of around 3,000 people on May 8. The Colts gained their first win the next evening, beating the Hoppers 11–6. Clarksville ended their first season in fifth place, just missing the playoffs, with a record of 58–67 (.464). The team became known as the Clarksville Colts in 1947. They accumulated a record of 40–83 (.

The poem begins: > When chapman billies leave the street, > And neibors, neibors, meet; > As market days are wearing late, > And folk begin to tak the gate, > While we sit bousing at the nappy, > An' getting fou and happy, > We think na on the lang Scots miles, > The mosses, waters, slaps and stiles, > That lie between us and our hame, > Where sits our sulky, sullen dame, > Gathering her brows like gathering storm, > Nursing her wrath to keep it warm. > After Burns has located us geographically: > (Auld Ayr, wham ne'er a town surpasses, > For honest men and bonnie lasses). (a quote that gave Ayr United F.C. their nickname "the honest men"), Tam sits and drinks with his friends, and the reader is regaled with a dark prophecy of Tam's wife Kate: > She prophesied that late or soon, > Thou wad be found, deep drown'd in Doon, > Or catch'd wi' warlocks in the mirk, > By Alloway's auld, haunted kirk. > Tam's wife, Kate, is portrayed as an authority to be feared.
