Welcome
Neighbor!
M. S. M.
“If from cherished child
hood scenes
Fate and fortune have
brought you here,
And your heart still home
ward leans;
Remember — New friends
with time grow dear.
Your joys, your sorrows are
of ours a part,
So, help us to know you
that we may share
This experience of Life,
with open heart;
Welcome Neighbor! We’re
glad you are here.”
In addition to a cordial wel
come, our newcomers this week
are given, along with us, a brand
new year! There is something
a little more than special about
the idea of having a New Year
in which to establish a new home.
But, to all of us the New Year
brings new challenges and oppor
tunities; a little more wisdom
from past experiences; and hope
fully, deeper understanding and
greater tolerance. May He who
gives us all our new beginnings,
keep us close within His Will
and Love throughout the New
Year; that our lives may reflect
Him in all our ways, is our pra
yer.

In this day of neon-lit motels
dotting the highways, an old
- country hotel is a ra
rity. Every small town used to
have one to accommodate travel
ing men and new arrivals. Now
most of them have gone the way
of the General Store with its
pot-bellied stove where debates
and news bulletings were cooked
up before television provided th
ese services.

March, 1964, Bibb has leased
the hotel to two former em

employed a resident manager to
operate the hotel and its dining

The hotel started out appro

what year it opened. According
to Bibb historian Henry Pittman it
was probably built in 1918, the

known guests who made his home
there for more than 30 years—
Roy Perkins, now of Athens—
thought it was built in 1920. Re
corder correspondent and Por
terdale social worker Mae Hard
man wrote a feature story on Feb.
10, 1956 about Mr. Perkins, who
was described as a “beloved ci
tizen” of Porterdale. He worked
for 32 years at Callaway and Co.
store, making friends with three
generations of Bibb families and
becoming a prominent part of
community life. Mr. Perkins, a
bachelor, lived that entire time
at the Welaunee. In the 1956
story he said the Welaunee Hotel
was three years old when he mov
ed to Porterdale in August, 1923.
Mr. Perkins by the way, once
estimated that he had eated a
total of 24,000 eggs at the Wel
aunee.
Bibb people remember Mr.
Perkins with affection, as well
as some of the hotel’s early re
sident managers. They all re

figured out a story that seemed
logical to him. He told question
ers that Bibb built the hotel as a
lodging place for employees com
ing in from the country who, in
the days of few autos and bad
roads, found it hard to commute
from their farms to the mill every
day. Historian Pittman had
reached almost the same con
clusion. He though the building
was put up to house new employ
ees at the two fast-growing plants
where housing was scarce.

agement took over and changed
the name to Porterdale Hotel,

its hugh brick fireplace into a
dining room. With its panelled
walls, brass chandeliers, br

this is the main room where par
