It’s December and Christmas is just around the corner!  Most folks are scrambling to get it all together before the big day arrives and praying that they can keep themselves together until torn wrapping paper is thrown out, the leftovers are distributed to guests and sent away, and they can fall peacefully into bed. It is such a wonderful, crazy time of the year.

On Hickory Hill Road in the Stonehurst subdivision sits an abandoned mobile home, burned so badly that the south end of the trailer has no shell, the interior visible from the street.

Next door sits a neatly kept mobile home with a for sale sign in the yard.

Stonehurst resident Jim Edds told the Henry County Fiscal Court last month that the abandoned mobile home makes it very difficult for the owners of the property next door to sell their home.

Edds said the owner is frequently absent, and not paying property tax.
