Today is the day set aside to honor working folks in the United States.  Labor Day has been a Federal holiday since 1894, when President Grover Cleveland signed an act declaring Labor Day as a national holiday. 

Today, banks and the U.S. Post Office along with Federal, state and local government agencies will be closed in honor of the holiday.

The Summerville, Trion, Menlo and Lyerly city governments, along with the Chattooga County Commissioner and other county government offices will all be closed.

If you have an emergency today with a utility service, you should contact Chattooga 911.
