Macon-Bibb County’s elections supervisor is warning voters to do a little homework before heading to the polls to make sure they receive the correct ballot and vote for the right candidates.
The names of a chain gang guard with a horse-drawn wagon, a fire inspector and a Prohibition-era police detective now are etched in three black granite monuments in Macon’s Public Safety Memorial Park. Each year around May 15 and Sept. 11, the community gathers at the memorial on Mulberry Street to remember local lives lost in service.
