ly LB. MOORE
Monday, February 3rd, was
anmygoary of my birthday. I pass
ed the day at my heme, as ill-health
and prevailing weather conditions
prevented my going to the Jnion-
Recorder office where I have spent
> many years of my life.
It was natural, under these cir
cumstances, for me to recall the
memories of the years that have
past, and to meditate on the past,
present and future.
During the year that has just
gone I have been in ill health, and
1 have not beer* able to engage to
any great extent In my work,
and associate personally with my
friends and the people of Milledge-
ville and Baldwin county as I have
beer, accustomed to do all during the
years of my life. Of course, this has
brought deep regret to me.
As I meditate on these things, my
memory carries me “back to days that
have long passed, at it recalls the
names and faces cf those who l
knew in my younger years, and who
took a part in the religious, business
professional, civic and social life
of the city. With a few exceptions
all of them have passed away. Even
the great majority of my boyhood
friends have gone to join the in
numerable throng in the great be
yond. But as I have come along the
years I have tried to learn to know
and keep in touch with those who
have been born and grown to ma
turity here, and these who have
come to this community to make
their homes. I hope I have won their
confidence and respect.
While changes in the population
and citizenship have come, there
have also been changes in the ma
terial things that have effected the
life of the community.

During the years I have i*ved the
Georgia Military and G. S. C. W.
Colleges have been established; the
Milledgeville State Hospital has
grown into the large institution It
is today from two or three buildings;
Allen's Invalid Home lias been
builded; the State Farm and the
Boys Training School located in the
county; the four banks organized;
water and sewerage system laid;
electric power and lights, gss and
telephones have come into use, auto

which were not dreamed cf In my
early years have come into existence:
I have seen a new court house and
city hall erected; the side walks,
streets and roads paved; modem
