I had gone to school with a girl who worked at the jewelers. She asked what I was doing now, and I jokingly said that I was in the fencing business. The owner of the store bought a fence from me! I put an ad in the Smokey Mountain Trader and work started coming in. In June of 1992, I quit my factory job, got married and officially went into the fencing business, all in the same month!” Starting out, the company did farm and ranch fencing. Mike said “we were the first around here offering that kind of fencing.” Mike added that he had one helper in the beginning, and within a year he had

Honey & Hem, Together in Style
Honey & Hem is one of Rogersville’s newest businesses, having opened in late July. It is located at 7138 Highway 11W, Suite 2. Meshia Cheatham is the owner. She opened the shop because she saw the need for a clothing store in Rogersville. Honey and Hem specializes in plus-size ladies and big and tall men’s clothing. Meshia is a Hawkins County native, and grew up in Mooresburg, where she still lives. She still works full-time in addition to running the shop. Meshia said “I opened a plus-size shop because everyone needs to feel beautiful and confident in clothes they love. As a plus-size woman, I know that feeling good about how you look is important. There isn’t a lot of clothing to choose from in the area.” Meshia’s faith is a driving force in her business. Cards, devotionals, Bible bookmarks and Bible story books are available. There is also a jar with a sign that reads “Tell me about your Jesus.” Kids can put a note in the jar, or quote a Bible verse or sing a song to get a small prize.
