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.”
Mr. and Mrs. Charles M.
Crawford and children, Jenny 9,
“Chuck” 5, and Lisa 4, come to
us from Watkinsville, in our nei
ghboring county of Oconee, to
make their home at 5135 West
Drive, N. E.
Mrs. Crawford, a native of
Watkinsville, is one of those
clever homemakers who is able
to also pursue a business career;
and is with the local branch of
Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany. When she finds leisure
time she enjoys fishing; and says
cooking is her favorite home
making hobby. Mr. Crawford,
also a Watkinsville native, is
with General Motors in Atlanta.
Fishing, spectator sports and
hunting top his list of hobbies.
The Crawfords are members of
the Christian denomination.
From Farrar have recently
come Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Kelly,
to make their future home in
the former Luther Carson home
in Newborn. But they surely are
not strangers in our midst, for
they have lived in nearby Jas
per County, and in and around
Mansfield most of their lives;
and have many relatives among
us, among whom are two grand
children in Covington-Mrs. Ho
mer Sharp, Jr., and Kenneth
Davis.
Mrs. Kelly was reared in
Mansfield, although born in Jas
per County. She is currently
recuperating from a recent heart
attack, and making satisfactory
progress. She loves flowers,
and finds sewing a relaxing hobby.
Mr. Kelly, retired, is a native of
Jasper County. He still likes to
garden, enjoys fishing and hunt
ing. They have seven children;
W. C. Kelly, Newborn; Mrs. Jeff
Armstrong, East Point; A. N.
Kelly, Jr., and Terrell Kelly,
Forest Park; Mrs. Joe Davis,
Covington; Mrs. Dozier Davis,
Porterdale; and Alfred D. Kelly,
Pennington. The Kellys are
members of Shiloh Baptist
Church in Jasper County.
Both the “homecomers” and
the “newcomers” make valuable
contributions to the community.
Those who have known Newton
County in the yester years keep
us aware of the “Rock from which
we were hewn”, and the heritage
that is ours; and those to whom
we trust this will soon also feel
like “home”, open new vistas
to us with their interests, talents
and dreams. They all will find
a cordial welcome awaiting them
in whatever activities claim their
Interests, in the community of
which they are now an integral
part.
