Of course "Old Trusty" deserved
the tributes paid it, but really there
was also a .** -rious purpose coupled
with idea. I confess that th? first
time my eyes beheld Milledgv-
ville, 27 year* ago, my enthusiasm
and admiration was stirred by the
beautiful plan of the city—its grand
and wide old streets with their glori
fied names—the many historic fea
ture place* that forced recollections
of day* gone by, when the city meant
so much to our Stat© and Nation.
I can not better illustrate my fecl-
ihg* about Milledgeville and Bald
win County than quote, verbatin
it literatim the short speech I made
at the cJo*e of the old Trusty dinner
that was worked up for the express
purpose to give opportunity for such
remark*—I reprint from the Union
Recorder.
"In bidding goodbye to hi* guests
I>r. Tigner said—

after you have pondered and you

Who created this old City and for

beautifully?—Who erected the grand

sion?—Who start d up the State

for the capital city of their State. I Drawn in open court, this January
he way they laid their plan to 9th, 1928,

es for public uses, with brand
straight streets and having them
iuch dignified and patriotic

th? city of Milledgeville enthusiastic
plaudit* from any one who will
glance at the plan they wrought and
give the proper interpretation to
what surely was in the minds of the
Commissioners a* they studiously
and seriously went to their work.
Now, the citizens in recognition
of the services rendered, have givm
to these fine old street* a wull&wnven
new suit of clothe*—and you may
know, that Thomas Jefferson, John
Hancock, General Anthony Wayne.
Gen ral Nathaniel Green, General
Elijah Clarke. General Richard Mont-

’iia and the others, bless their hearts
—are feeling better.
The p.nple of Milledgeville are
