Well, no. they said. Sure enough, singer Lee Greenwood plopped down at their table with what Lee described “as a beautiful lady from Atlanta he’s dating.” Murphey played to a packed house and got an ovation from Greenwood and the house following his final song...

What's the beef? Well, who knows when Rome’s Mary Louise Levr and Marietta's Phillip Herron square off. They’re brother and sister- Forsyth County sails through its 1989 audit, best in 17 years By Kristin Jeffries Staff Writer Forsyth County has passed its audit of 1989 figures with a nearly perfect score. With a budget of $10,837,246, the county’s expenditures were $10,861,506 in 1989. a difference of $24,260. “The county’s in real good shape. The best it’s ever been in my 17-year tenure here,” said accountant and auditor Wayne I. Bowen of Wayne I. Bowen & Assoc, of Gainesville. A few departments were over bud get, but many came in under and that balanced it out, said County Adminis trator Donald Major. “It’s a cooperative effort One per son can’t get all the glory for it. All the department heads were extremely cooperative and the board of com missioners themselves watched over it very carefully,” said Major. The county brought in $6,802,021 in property taxes while its was budget ed for $4,080,576. Taxes from both 1988 and 1987 were received. The county also received $1,034,454 in grants and reimburse PEARLE vision center WE HONOR ALL COMPETITOR COUPONS* *No other discounts apply.

Open only a few months, the Roswell Road T-Bird’s - occupying a space where Theo's, Chi Chi’s and other restaurant concepts had failed drew good crowds for promotions, but sparse gatherings the rest of the week ... Ironically, as the Roswell Road T-Bird’s folds, a mile or so south on Roswell Road, The Big Kahuna opens tonight where Confetti used to be. The Big Kahuna, designed jn a casual beach club atmosphere, would surely have competed with T-Bird's for Roswell Road customers. The Water and Sewer Department, on the other hand, had a total reve nue of $704,000 while the commis sioners had expected to bring in $984,000. In this relatively new endeavor the county took a $63,000 "book” loss which includes depreciation of fixed assets. In the account set aside for 1 per cent water lines the county paid $1,423,000 to Cumming for water and spent 1,828,000 on new water lines. This account was si ightly over budget $835,000, but had $1,037,000 left in its account at the end of the year. As a result of this year’s audit Bow en suggested the Tax Commissioner's Office accounting system be re vamped to include daily cash inter nal control and a monthly record of cash on hand and cash owed. “The tax office handled in excess of s2l million in 1989,” Bowen said. The first quarter of this year prom ises more of the same fiscal management. The county government is budget ed to spend $1,027,067 per month in 1990 and has averaged expenditures of $902,816 per month through April. 4^ DAWSONVILLE POOL ROOM Come In and See Our Photo Collection Of Dawson County Racing Hero BILL ELLIOTT Dawsonville, GA. 265-2792 FAX SENDING $3.00/PG RECEIVING 51.50/PG | MAIL | PLUS 689-SHIP MERCHANTS SQUARE 9:00 AM-6:00 PM MON-FRI 9:000 AM-1:00 PM SAT STATE FARM _ Family Insurance Ctecfyiip '••i Slew 'er— sa-'j* WnoM -'wan- e Cr^ve, It s the simple way to answer any questions about your family insurance protection.
