You can tell how popular pork products are through this old sign on a barn near Soperton, Ga. We remember the smoky tastiness of barbecue and Brunswick stew from rural Treutlen County from childhood. The photo is by VanishingSouthGeorgia.com photographer Brian Brown.
The county, almost in the middle of Georgia, is home to about 6,700 people, two-thirds of whom are white. Some 26 percent of the population live at or below the federal poverty line.
