Subject: Colonel Gerald Totten, USMC(ret.) – The passing of a hero.

Southern Supreme

The best homegrown business in Chatham County is located a few miles south of Harper’s Crossroads in the SW corner of the county.  You can take 902 past Bear Creek to Harper’s Xroads, go 1/4 mile west and turn south at the sign.  Go a mile or so south to next intersection, turn left at sign.  Southern Supreme is a few miles down that road.  However, it is closed after the holiday peak season and reason for its existence.  It opens sometime around Halloween for the holidays.
