Beautiful homes such as this antebellum mansion will be
open to the public during the “Century of Beauty” tour of homes
and gardens in Georgia. One hundred years of charming, gracious
living typified in one hundred lovely homes and gardens—old and
new—spanning a complete century. Georgia Department of Com

GEORGIA HOMES AND GARDENS
“A Century of Beauty”—this is the theme for the 1961
tour of Georgia homes and gardens. Savannah, St. Simons and
Sea Island were featured in March. Spring pilgrimages to
Albany, Macon and Atlanta are scheduled during the weeks of
April. Many homes and gardens, both modern and traditional,
will open their doors and gates, offering the charms of gracious
living to visitors.
Albany’s tour on April 2 includes homes of many styles,
from Spanish and New Orleans variations to Colonial, Early
American and antebellum Southern designs. Each home ex
quisitely features the furniture and decor of its particular period
in history.
Formal and informal gardens of azaleas, camellias, spring
roses, lillies and boxwoods fuse together in a delightful array,
typifying springtime in South Georgia.
Visitors will receive information and instructions at the
Albany Garden Center. The homes and gardens will be open
from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tour price is 2 dollars per visitor.
Macon will display her middle Georgia hospitality on April 9
from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Contemporary and early South architec
ture are spotlighted here, as well as a home combining both East
and West in design.
Headquarters for the Macon tour will be the Macon Garden
Center, 730 College Street. Fee for the tour is 1 dollar.
A cosmopolitan view of homes and gardens in Atlanta will
be held April 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and April 16 from
2 p.m. to 6 p.m Headquarters will be Hart’s Peachtree Restau
rant, 2882 Peachtree Rd, N.E.
These elegant Atlanta homes, each a perfection of its own
style, also house antiques and valuable collections of painting.
Each’ home may be visited for the price of 50 cents or for $2.50
collectively.
Atlanta is featuring an added attraction on these two days.
The Commerce Club, one of the most beautiful men’s clubs in
America, will be opened to the ladies for the first time. The
Penthouse, also in the Commerce Building, is listed on the
Atlanta Tour. Tour price for each is 75 cents.
Although several of Georgia’s interesting cities will not
sponsor regular garden tours this year, historical landmarks and
beauty spots throughout Georgia will be open to the public
almost any day during the spring season.
As the seasons change their wardrobes, freshen up your
winter-chilled spirits by visiting these lovely homes and gardens.
There’s no better way to catch spring fever.

Through Georgia

Special Guest Columnist
(Editor's Note: This column is
j guest written by an outstanding
Georgia newspaperman, Tom SeL
! lers, columnist on the staff of
1 the Columbus Ledger. Mr. Sellers
I also is chairman of the Colum
j bus-Muscogee Civil War Cenden-
I nial Committee, sponsor of the
I event which he describes. This is
the second of a two-part series.)
The Gallant City
Columbus has good reason to
Ibe proud of its role in the co
ilossal spectacle of 100 years ago.
; The city entered the war a rela
jtively small town of 9,000 souls,
but due to its long distance from
I the fighting fronts and its plent-
I iful supply of water power, it
quickly became one of the most
important industrial centers south
of Richmond. Among the plants
‘ that boomed here were clothing
| factories, shoe shops, a tannery,
| and the renowned sworj factory
i operated by Louis Haiman and
‘ Brother.
i The city produced two Con
i federate gunboats, the ironclad
i “Muscogee” (also called “Jack-
Ison”) and the wooden “Chatta-
I hoochee.” These were built at
I the Naval Iron Works near the
Chattahoochee River.
In 1864 Columbus became a
great hospital point. The stream
of wounded soldiers from the
fierce fighting in North Georgia
early that year led to a critical
overcrowding of Confederate hos
! pitals in Atlanta anj Dalton. Co
lumbus, being apparently im
mune from federal raids, had an
advantage over those cities. So in
February 1864, this city was se
lected as the site of a 1,500-bed
। army hosiptal.
Eight buildings on Broad Street,
including two saloons and a
courthouse, were rented and
equipped, and by May 1,350 pati
ents were quartered in the city.
One of the largest convalescent
hospitals in the Confederacy was
constructed on the edge of town
at the site of Camp Montgomery,
an 1861 training ground. Dr.
Francis O. Ticknor, well-known
■ poet and author of “Little Giffen
of Tennessee,” was the chief, sur
geon of that hospital. His poem
was based on an incident involv
ing a young soldier named New
ton Giffen who was nursed
back to health by Dr. Ticknor’s
wife and her two sisters at his
Columbus plantation, Torch Hill.
Some 17 military units were
formed in Columbus -and partici
pated in the war. It was said the
city sent as many soldiers per
centage-wise of population as any
community in the South. A num
ber of Confederate generals left
from here, including General
Henry L. (Old Rock) Benning,

and sens Wayne and Troy left
Thursday for Castle Air Force
Base, California after visiting
Mrs. Davis’ parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Stonewall Stokes in Alamo and
Sgt. Davis’ parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. T. Davis in High Point, N.C.
for whom Fort Benning is named,
and General Paul J. Semmes.
The latter was a captain at the
start of the conflict and com
mander of the Columbus Guards.
He was killed in the Battle of
Gettysburg, July 1863, and his
body was returned to old Lin
wood Cemetery, where services
are held each year to honor the
gray-clad dead.
The Battle of Columbus, April
16. 1865, is believed to be the
last fight of any consequence
east of the Mississippi River. Not
long after the war, a group of
Columbus ladies started the
movement which became a South
wide observance, Confederate
Memorial Day, April 26.
This year, on that date, the
gallantry of the heroes in that
moSt-tragic of conflicts will once
again loom large in the minds
of the people of Columbus, who
are showing that the deeds of
such intrepid ancestors can never
really be forgotten.
If men be good, government
cannot be bad.-—William Penn.

While babies don’t actually stir the pot, they do play an
important part in the development of baby foods. For example,
more than 2500 babies were given a chance to taste-test a brand
new protein dinner containing proteins from the three richest
animal sources—meat, egg yolk and milk. These dinners offer 24
percent more protein and 31 percent more nutritional value than
comparable dinners tested. One big question remained: Would
babies really enjoy the taste of this highly nutritional product?
Beef, lamb and chicken blends were taste-tested and then tested)
again, until Beech-Nut was satisfied that any baby would love the
final recipe. Not a single upset tummy could be attributed to the
dinners. Today, thanks to babies themselves, these new pootem
dinners can be found in any leading food store.
