Franklinton Mayor Darwin Sharp looks at a temporary patch installed where the Hancock Street repair occurred. He said permanent pavement will soon be laid down to make the road smooth once again.
A lengthy downtown Franklinton detour is now over.
Following repairs to a leaking gas pipe, barricades at the corner of Hancock and Washington Street were removed on Thursday.
Town workers were forced to wait for a replacement pipe because the original leaking pipe was manufactured back in the 1950’s. A replacement pipe had to be found that would fit perfectly into the ancient pipeline.
Franklinton Mayor Darwin Sharp was at the scene of the repair. He said he was extremely glad that an appropriate replacement was found for the leaking pipe.

Years ago, my good friend Mary Pratt told me she would ask her father, Walker Percy, why he had to watch the news each morning. He said it was to see who got off the world while they were sleeping.

Luke 8:1-3
"And it came to pass afterwards, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others which ministered unto him of their substance," Luke 8:1-3.
