, If you want to vote in Fayette's upcoming municipal elections and you haven't registered to vote yet, time is running out.

You must be registered by Monday, Oct. 4 in order to vote in the Nov. 2 election.

That's no reason not to register after that, though. Registering after Oct. 4 simply means you miss the Nov. 2 vote, but can participate in all elections after that.

There's no length of residency requirement to register in Fayette County. You must simply be a resident of the county to register.

For information, phone the elections office at 770-460-5730, extension 454.

, The old Dorsey home place on Long Avenue in Fayetteville will be spared from the wrecking ball for at least another 30 days.

After a recommendation from the Fayette County Historical Society and from official county historian Carolyn Cary, the County Commission Thursday voted to wait a month to see if Main Street Fayetteville officials can come up with a plan to save the historic house, which is in the path of construction of a new jail and court complex.

The house was first owned by John Manson Dorsey, a Civil War veteran wounded at Gettysburg. Dorsey was the son of Solomon Dorsey, one of the early owners of the Holliday-Dorsey-Fife house.

The home has added historical significance because it is the only one in Fayette known to have been worked on by famed architect Neel Reid.
