Handicapped by a poor turnout and the absence of its sponsor, the long awaited Nashville Convention convened under a cloud on Jun. 30, 1850. The unprecedented get-together was the pet project of John C. Calhoun, the larger-than-life colossus who had dominated Dixie politics for decades.
Monday morning, we held the Commissioners’ Court meeting, and several items of interest were on the agenda. First was the swearing in of David Yarbrough as the new Justice of the Peace for Precinct 4. David brings a tremendous amount of law enforcement experience to the office having just retired from the DPS in May. He is a Rockdale native and someone who has spent a majority of his time as a trooper right here in Milam County. We welcome Judge Yarbrough and wish him well as he continues working for the people of Milam County.
