Anyone who thinks the Houston County Court House is a lavish, spacious, facility should have been on the “walkthrough” tour county commissioners and the media were “‘treated” to last Tuesday.

There’s a saying folks used to recite back during the Depression, “we were so poor that when we butchered a pig, the only thing we didn’t process was the squeak.” That old saying came to mind, as we made our way through the building, and I could see how every single square foot of space was being utilized to its fullest. There’s nothing but “squeak” left.
