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

, 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.
