There are a lot of bee suppliers in the South East all of which would be close enough to ship and some may be close enough for you to drive and pick up. I don't know how far it is to Clarkson KY because I don't know where in Western TN you are, but it can't be more then 250 miles and it could be much less. Walter T. Kelly is there and has bees for pickup. You have to order them and arrange for a pickup date. Plenty of suppliers will ship to you. http://www.beesource.com/suppliers/usbees.htm has a list of package bee suppliers. I'd try any in the south east part of the country. GA, SC, FL, KY, MS all should be within easy postal distances.
If you ask around you might find some beekeepers. If you have no idea where to start, try the County Ag Extension office. They probably know of some beekeepers who might be willing to sell you a hive or a nuc.
