J. Pat Baughman Presents

The Great

Confederate Colony Land Rush!

 

Your chance to buy a beautiful piece of property

in a lovely Confederate-oriented neighborhood

at AUCTION

… and help further the work of

The Southern Legal Resource Center!

 

For Southern loyalists, it’s the chance of a lifetime – the opportunity to live among other Southern patriots, in a picture book setting, and benefit the work of the SLRC, the only law firm concerned solely with defending Confederate heritage!

 

 

J. Pat’s Confederate Colony is located on Pea Ridge near Lawrenceburg, TN, in the geographical center of the Confederacy. It’s in rolling countryside where clear, cold, spring-fed creeks ripple among hills and hollows filled with stand of beech, hickory, oak and poplar.  And it just happens to be in one of the lowest cost-of-living areas in the South.

 

Here you can build your own home, exactly to suit your family’s own needs and wishes.  (Conventional restrictions apply as to noise abatement and number and types of animals allowable.  The only architectural restriction, in keeping with the Confederate Colony’s vision and purpose, is on “modern” exterior design.  There are no inspections to deal with, other than a standard health department check – water is by spring or well and the sewage system is individual septic tank.  Electrical systems, of course, must conform to local codes.)  You may use your own contractor, or J. Pat will contract your home for you using Amish and other local craftsmen to keep costs under 10 cents per board foot!  Want to build-it-yourself?  The Colony has miter and table saws, air hammers, trailers, and even its own backhoe, road grader and dump truck available for use in your construction.  The Colony even makes its own concrete from local sand and gravel!

 

The Confederate Colony offers several exciting extras to residents, including a beautiful park on Spring Creek featuring fishing, a swimming hole, and even a waterfall.  There are also hiking and bridle trails.  A community meeting house, Capt. Bill Forrest Memorial Hall, is also under construction.  And In keeping with the Confederate tradition of truly representative government, ownership of property in the Confederate Colony entitles you to be a voting member of the  Colony Council, the owners’ association which sets and protects reasonable community rules and regulations.

 

About the property being offered

 

The property being offered at auction is 3 wooded acres fronting on Confederate Way and Forrest Trail (see map [hyperlink to map on scv website] or at www.confederatecolony.org).  The lot has a level building site surrounded by tall trees next to Forrest Trail.  It is triangular in shape, with a lovely little hollow on one side of the triangle.  This parcel is valued at $8,500.00.

 

BUT BEST OF ALL:  The amount of your bid may be applied to ANY available property in the Confederate Colony!  If, after exploring our site (or visiting in person) you wish to trade sites or purchase additional acreage, the amount of your bid can simply be applied to the price of the lot(s) of your choice!

 

How to bid on this exciting offer

 

        From this website, click “contacts”, choose “Executive Director” from the dropdown department menu, and send us a message containing the amount of your bid.*  Or visit the Confederate Colony website (www.confederatecolony.org) check out the plot map  and send your e-mail bid from there.  Bidders will be entered on a special e-mail list and you will be kept informed of bidding progress so that you may bid again using the same procedure.  BIDDING WILL CEASE AT MIDNIGHT, FRIDAY, MARCH 25th, 2005.  AN OPENING BID OF $2,000 HAS ALREADY BEEN RECEIVED. THERE IS A RESERVE PRICE OF $6,000.00

 

*Bids must be received in increments of $500.

Last week and next week: On the Road Again …

 

On Wednesday, Kirk and his two oldest sons were on hand in Columbia, TN, for the chancery court hearing in the matter of the SCV General Executive Council case.  On Sunday, he and  Roger will journey to Prattville, AL, to brief the SCV’s Alabama Division on the status of White v. Nichols, the Lawrence County schools case.  On March 18, Kirk will be in Jacksonville, FL, for oral arguments in the FAA case (see Case Notes). Roger and H.K. are on standby to go to Charlotte in connection with the city’s removal of the Confederate flag from Elmwood Cemetery, which the SLRC has already warned them is probably legally actionable.

             Meanwhile,  Roger has received our consultants’ 2005 fundraising plan and is preparing to send it to the Board of Directors.  His comment:  “This is a fantastic plan to raise desperately needed funds for the SLRC.  Now all we need is the money to implement it.”

 

CASE NOTES

 

FAA: Oral Arguments for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals are scheduled for 3-18-05 in Jacksonville, FL.

 

 

Lawrence County: Motion for Summary Judgment has been filed and we are waiting to hear back from the judge in the US Dist. Court for the Northern Dist. of AL. Feeling really good about this case.

 

Jaqueline Duty: Pre-Trial Discovery Scheduling Order hearing set in Ashland, KY for Monday, March 28.

 

 

Several ongoing school investigations, including:

 

Jackson County, MO--Justin Williams (young SCV officer) has received 2 F's on projects including the Confederate flag and one project was even destroyed by the principal.

 

 Green County, KY--one young man's mother contacted us because one student in the school was offended by the flag therefore the school initiated a schoolwide ban to appease this one girl. We have contacted the school on this family's behalf.
