LOUISBURG -- The Franklin County Fire Marshal has issued a ban on open burning in Franklin County until the statewide burn ban has been rescinded. Because of the continued hazardous fire conditions and the continuing drought, Franklin County Fire Marshal Trey Evans has issued a burn ban under the authority granted by the Franklin County Code of Ordinances regulating open burning. The burn ban prohibits all open burning within the unincorporated areas of Franklin County that are within 100 feet of a structure.
Franklin County native Felecia Massenburg was recently recognized by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. for her 50 years of sorority membership. The Induction to 'Golden Soror' celebration was held in Richmond, Va. where nearly 4,000 members of the sorority gathered for the 72nd Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference of the sorority.
