“Around 1:57 am, Saturday morning I was woken by rapid gunfire. I hear gunfire almost every other day in my community. I thought someone was shooting at a coon or a skunk. but I heard about 15 shots. That morning, I got up to the Police at the 600 block of Allday Street, which had been shot up by someone driving by with a 9mm. pistol. Atlanta Police are investigating the shooting. No one was hurt, but there were two children inside the house. The occupant of the house has no idea who would be shooting up their home, they are upset and hope Atlanta Police can find out who has done this.”
Hughes Springs, located in the western edge of Cass county, has a distinctive history of two beginnings associated with ever-flowing mineral waters, Indian villages, and far-seeing white people who appreciated the vast store of natural resources in that area.
A local Atlanta business sponsored two community fundraising events this past weekend. Cass County Fitness Center conducted a bake sale and then held a first time bench press weight-lifting competition in order to support member Wayne Wright and his medical expenses. With another community effort at the same time, the fitness center also concluded a food gathering contribution that filled a long shelf in the workout center with food and then was given to the Harvest House Food pantry of Atlanta.
