TOUR
GEORGIA
BAINBRIDGE, Georgia
(PRN)--A meandering auto
tour from this southwest
Georgia city affords
unexpected sidelights to any
vacation trip in this part of the
Peach State.
During a leisurely one-day
tour covering approximately
200 miles, you can encounter
a wide range of sights from
modem 20th century dams to
picturesque 19th century
covered bridges to centuries
old Indian mounds. You visit
three state parks, and two of
the major reservoirs on the
Chattahoochee River.
Leaving your base at
Bainbridge, you head west
along Georgia 253 for Lake
Seminole. On the north shore
of the sprawling, man-made
reservoir on the
Chattahoochee River are two
state parks-Seminole and
Fairchild. If you yen to swim,
boat or fish, Lake Seminole is
the place for you. The lake is
noted for its lunker
largemouth black bass.
Turning north on Georgia
39 you head for Donalsonville
and then follow U.S. 84 to the
little hamlet of Saffold, where
you shift to Georgia 363 and
again head northward. You are
driving the by-ways of Early
County and if you are alert,
you spot the signs announcing
the presence of two covered
bridges both in good state of
preservation, and both still in
use. One crosses Coheelee
Creek not far from the hamlet
of Hilton, while the other
spans Sawhatchee Creek nor
far from Blakely.

Atlanta road Gainesville, Ga. phone 536-531;
you rejoin Georgia 39, and
northwest of the town
encounter Kolomoki Mounds
State Park preserving some of
the oldest Indian Mounds in
the state.
However, the centerpiece
of the park is undoubtedly the
Temple Mound, largest of the
seven rising from the billiard
table-flat land. It is 56 feet
high and covers an area the
size of a football field.
Archaeologists estimate that it
was built in the 12th and 13th
centuries as a setting for
unknown religious ceremonies.
Continuing northward on
Georgia 39, you come to Fort
Gaines the site of the Walter
F. George Dam on the
Chattahoochee River.
Fort Gaines is the northern
most point of your circle tour.
Here you pickup Georgia 37,
and meander eastward through
the farm lands southwest
Georgia via such little towns as
Suttons Corner, Edison,
Morgan, Leary and Elmodel
until you reach Newton on the
Flint River, a primitive stream
that eventually joins the
Chattahoochee River at Lake
Seminole.
You follow Georgia 91
southwards past Hoggard Mill,
and three miles south of this
little community swing onto
Georgia 253 to return to
Bainbridge paralleling, but
infrequently seeing the river.
For a glimpse of a little
known part of southwest,
Georgia, the Tourist Division
of the Georgia Department of
Industry and Trade suggests
you make the circle swing
from Bainbridge.

Commenting on the
symbolism of the carving,
Senator Talmadge said:

an indelible memorial to a
critical period in the
forging of our country...a time
of conflict, which, though
tragic, gave birth to the united
nation we have become.”
The dedication program, as
outlined by Senator Talmadge,
will include a series of events
spanning several days. These
events include a formal
reception at the Georgia
Governor’s mansion for
governors, senators,
congressmen and other
officials from the 13 former
Confederate States who will
be special guests for the
dedication, and the planned
issuance of a commemorative
postage stamp by the Post
Office Department timed to
coincide with the dedication.
The last-minute habit.
Christmas is a time for giving. And that’s
good. But the crunch and crawl of Christmas
time can be too much of a good thing. Peace
and goodwill don’t come easily, especially
at Christmas, nowadays. But maybe we can
help a little.
That’s why we’ve tried to make our
Christmas Club the best of all possible
Christmas Clubs. Join today and next year
