We think a lot of people don’t know about illegal gerrymandering.

That’s what happened in Sparta in the late ’80s, and it was one of the reasons the economy broke down. Remember downtown was blooming.

March, 6, 2026: Georgia House approved House Bill 1166 … INTERESTING …

Fox 103.5 FM... Big changes are on the horizon for Georgia’s housing scene, especially in Gordon County. On March 6, 2026, the Georgia House approved House Bill 1166, a groundbreaking law that will allow accessory dwelling units (ADUs) throughout the state. This bill permits homeowners to construct secondary buildings of 400 square feet or less on their property, effectively bypassing local zoning restrictions that have historically limited smaller, more affordable living options. For Calhoun, this timing is especially crucial. The city recently faced a significant legal defeat against the nonprofit Tiny House Hand Up. For years, Calhoun upheld a zoning rule that banned any new single-family homes smaller than 1,150 square feet. In August 2025, a judge from the Gordon County Superior Court declared that the city’s restriction was unconstitutional, paving the way for a community of cottages sized between 540 and 600 square feet. This new state law takes it a step further, potentially removing local governments' ability to prevent these "tiny homes" if they fit within the 400-square-foot limit. Proponents argue that this change is essential due to the soaring home prices in Gordon County, which have left many residents unable to afford traditional housing. On the flip side, critics are concerned about how this will affect local infrastructure and neighborhood density. As the bill moves to the Senate, officials in Calhoun and Gordon County need to get ready for a future where "smaller" is no longer considered "illegal." Stay tuned to Fox 103.5 for the latest local updates and the best hits from the 80s, 90s, and today.

Do you know that Booker T. Washington had tight relationships with Hancock County? 4 - we know about …

“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good just because it’s accepted by a majority.” — Booker T. Washington This powerful reminder still hits hard today. In a world where trending opinions can drown out moral courage, we’re called to stand on principle, not popularity. Truth doesn’t need a crowd to validate it; it just needs people brave enough to live it, speak it, and defend it with integrity. May we never trade our **conscience** for acceptance or our convictions for comfort. Right is right, even if you stand alone—and wrong is wrong, even when the whole world co-signs it.

Peach County proudly honors Henry Alexander Hunt, a transformative educator and trailblazer whose leadership helped shape Fort Valley State University and uplift Black farmers and students across rural Georgia. Born in 1866 in Sparta, Georgia, Hunt graduated from Atlanta University and began his career dedicated to practical education and economic progress for Black communities.

In 1904, Hunt became principal of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School, then a small institution with limited resources. Over his 34 year tenure, he expanded the school’s campus, strengthened its curriculum, and emphasized vocational and agricultural training rooted in hands on learning tailored to local needs. His work dramatically increased educational opportunities for Black youth at a time when segregation severely limited access to quality schooling.

Hunt’s influence extended well beyond the classroom. He championed modern farming techniques for Black farmers, organized educational outreach programs, and worked with state and federal leaders to address rural economic challenges. In 1930, the NAACP awarded him the Spingarn Medal, recognizing his visionary leadership in education and rural advancement.

His legacy lives on through the growth of Fort Valley State University, the continued recognition of Hunt High School’s historic role, and the Henry A. Hunt Memorial Library that bears his name on campus.
Peach County celebrates Henry Alexander Hunt for his unwavering commitment to education, community empowerment, and economic opportunity: a true bridge builder whose work changed lives and strengthened our region. 🍑
