The town of Waters (Montgomery County) changed its name to Pine Ridge in honor of Lum and Abner, characters created by comedians Chet Lauck and partner Tuffy Goff and based on the people of Waters and Mena (Polk County). Their Lum and Abner radio program was one of the longest-running and most popular programs ever on radio.
