Adams fatally shot after long feud with Jones family
In Georgia, Robert Adams was killed in his field amid a long running feud with Porter Jones’s family.

Nearby, Whigham and Cairo contest Grady county courthouse funding, with Whigham residents pledging substantial support to keep taxes aligned with neighboring counties.
