MRS. W. J. BRASWELL, Society Editor PHONE 131
All I know is
Ladies Attend
Tour Of Homes
Mrs. Frances Goffe, Mrs. W. S.
B. North, Mrs. Louise Braswell
and Mrs. J. E. Davidson formed
a group from Fort Valley who at- i
tended the Tour of Homes in
Madison last Wednesday, April
29. They Goffe’s were the luncheon guests |
of Mrs. sister, Mrs. Paul
Ponder, in Madison. Century-old
places were visited by the many
visitors who attended the tour.
The Madisonian, the city news
paper, carried pictures of the 11— [
year old Madison Presbyterian
Church where Mrs. Woodrow Wil
son, the former Miss Ellen Axson,
worshipped under the ministry of
her father pastor, 1866-1867; the
Madisonian Building where the
sixth oldest newspaper in Georga
is published. During the War Be
tween the States the Madisonian
was a daily publication, and is
now a leading weekly in Georgia.
On display was the first type
writer to be used in Morgan Coun- j
ty, the exact age not known, but I
said to be at least seventy years
old. It was manufactured in Con
necticutt by the Williams Type
writer Company. Also was pictur
ed the home of Rebecca Latimer
Fetlon, first woman Senator.

her time or bemoaning her confinement. God made her a mo
ther and that was what she meant to be.
Poems and songs have been written about mothers. Great
sculptors and artists have painted motherhood at its best. My
mother has never been written about, sung about, nor had her
portrait painted. But, she is the embodiment of all they say and
do. She represents motherhood itself and alt it encompasses.
Where else could you find such serenity of expression on one who
has had her share of this life’s burdens? Where else could you
find a mother who gave any more of herself to her tasks?
There is a song. “Give of Yourself to The Master”, and in
giving ourselves to the Master we must give of ourselves to all
that we can. That is what my mother did. She gave of herself
so much she did not have time to go to beauty parlors, smoke
cigarettes, or imbibe cocktails. My mother has never been to
a beauty parlor (she never bad to), she has never smoked a cig¬
arette, or even tasted a cocktail. No wonder her face is unlined
with wrinkles—she never concerned herself with this world’s
earthly pleasures.
On Sunday she was not able to sit on the front, row with us
in the church where my father was superintendent of the Sunday
School—but her 12 did, all dressed by her in nice clothes made
by her. When I gave the Welcoming address in the seventh grade
my mother could not attend-—she was not feeling well. I look back
now and attribute it to the beautiful hem-stitched crepe de chine
dress which I proudly wore. When I gave the Farewell address
my senior year she was sick in bed and I know now it was from
the preparations she made for my farewell party to the graduat¬
ing class. She gave of herself so much to what she did she was
never able to enjoy the results.
Whenever 1 think of that song, “I Want to Marry a Girl
Like Dear Old Dad” I think of my mother because I don’t be¬
lieve anyone fits that song anymore becomingly than my Papa’s
Alice—my mother!
My mother is now 76 grand years old; she has lived her
three-score and ten years and lived them well. She has fought
a good fight and kept the faith. She has already bequeathed me
my legacy—a dean mind, a pure heart, and the presence of God
constantly abiding. These things she has already bestowed on
me. For what more could I ask?
look beyond
the price tag!
