It was basketball season and I was in eighth grade. Our team's record was 7-1 and we were playing william lenoir middle school today, who had beat us the first game of the season.

Each county is governed by a five-member Commissioners Court, which consists of a County Judge (elected at-large) and four Commissioners (elected from single-member precincts).

government A rural county government would make for an excellent political structure while giving the residents common services. It would also give private businesses opportunities for maintenance, healthcare, waste disposal services, and recreational services, which would not only bring business and jobs but more citizens as well.
