Future project: In the June term of 1843, Jones County Court of pleas and Quarter Sessions Ordered that Benjamin Askew be appointed a commission to have a stock erected on the Jail lot and repair the grates in the jail windows.

The photo is an example photo of a stock at the Southport Old Jail. Would love to find someone to build one for us in Trenton.
