THE BEDINGFIELD INN AT LUMPKIN was an early 19th
century stagecoach stop. (PRN)
TOUR
GEORGIA
LUMPKIN (PRN) - It
would be difficult to find a
section of Georgia with a more
intriguing array of attractions
than the Lumpkin area. And
they are hardly more than a
stone’s throw from one
another.
In one day the traveler can
easily visit the Bedingfield Inn,
follow the Stagecoach Trail,
explore Canyons and Florence
Marina, and discover Westville.
Bedingfield Inn, a hardy
survivor of the period when
Lumpkin was a frontier town,
has been restored and
furnished by the Stewart
County Historical
Commission. Built about 1836
by Dr. Bryan Bedingfield, the
Inn served as a family
residence as well as a stopping
place for stagecoaches. It was
approximately a day’s travel
from Columbus on the north
and Fort Gaines and Cuthbert
on the south.
The Bedingfield Inn isopen
Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m.; Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5
p.m.; and weekdays by
appointment.
A side trip to Providence
Canyons is an easy drive and
affords a look at one of
Georgia’s natural wonders in
living color-43 different soils
creating a vivid variety of
hues. Believed to be about 150
years old, the canyons cover
several thousand acres and are
around 200 feet deep. Often
called Georgia’s Little Grand
Canyon, the area is presently
being considered as a site for a
state park.
Further west is Florence
her home in Morristai, Fla.,
after an extended visit with
her grandparents, Mr.andMrs.
W. N. Hart. Mr. and Mrs. 0.
H. Glisson, James and Obie
of Sacramento, Calif., were vis
itors of the Hart family the past
week end.
Mr. and Mrs. Calvin C. John
son of Plant City, Fla., spent
the week end with the latter’s
mother, Mrs. James B. Sumner.
Mrs. William Fields, Jeanine
and Malinda and Mrs. Lillie
Mae Fields spent Tuesday in
Macon. The Fields family have
as their guest Mrs. Dollie Lowe
of Hollywood, Fla.
Mr. and Mrs. John Bailey,
Malinda and Jeane of Grand
Rapids, Mich., visited Mr. and
Mrs. Marcus Bridges.
Mrs. J. M. Pope and daugh
ter, Mrs. Howard Sharpe of
Lyons, spent Thursday in Sa
vannah.
Mrs. Lester Perkins and
Tina, Mr. and Mrs. Lawson
Bridges, Juanita and Janet of
Warner Robins, and Mrs. E. A.
Reich and Terry of Macon,
were guests last week of Mrs.
0. S. Bridges.
Mrs. Lillie Mae Fields
attended the funeral ofheraunt,
Mrs. M. D. Wilson in Doerun.
> Mr. and Mrs. Joe B. Mercer
attended the funeral services
of the former’s brother-in-law,
Mr. John Dominery in Dublin,.
Sunday, August 8.
Mrs. Olin Bridges and Wal
ter, Misses Winona and Katie
Marina, a popular boating and
fishing base. Once a busy
community centered on
cotton ginning, its landing
originally was dredged to
permit river steamers to pick
up cotton.
About a half mile south of
Lumpkin is Westville, where
the visitor is again transported
back to the last century, this
time for a look at a
functioning farm village. Here
today’s craftsmen demonstrate
the skills of yesterday, when
one person still transformed
raw materials into a finished
product. In a reconstruction
of original settings, one can
watch the making of quilts,
pottery, bricks, baskets and
shingles, as well as
demonstrations of community
services such as carpentry and
blacksmithing. And in the
farmhouse kitchens of
Westville, fireplace cooking is
still an art to be enjoyed.
Westville is open Wednesday,
through Saturday from 11
a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday from 1
p.m. to 5 p.m.
The Stagecoach Trail winds
through the area, spotlighting
houses built in the 1830-1850
period. Such homes are
privately owned and are
marked by a small stagecoach
sign in front.
Lumpkin and its scenic side
trips offer an enticing day-long
excursion for an adventurous
family. The Department of
Industry and Trade, Tourist
Division, thinks you would
enjoy an exploration of this
historic section of southwest
Georgia.

Goals For Georgia
During the past several weeks
open meetings for local citizens'
and their delegates have been
held in the 19 planning regions
of the state. Pastors and re

have been turning out in large
numbers to discuss future de
velopments and to plan goals
for Georgia. The participants
see in these activities, not some
political gimmick, but a sin
cere opportunity for the service
of people.
Os the program areas being
discussed, the ones most pop

Eggcellent Idea§
GEORGIA EGG COMMISSION
MISS MILDRED HUFF, HOME ECONOMIST
ATLANTA (PRN) - Last week I inherited a Presto cooker.
Having grown up on pressure cooked foods, I was most excited
about my new piece of equipment, but equally apprehensive as
to using it myself, since so many explosive stories are circulated.
However, I read the instruction manual, put a chicken in the
pot, and carefully fastened the lid.
With eyes glued to the steam vent, 1 turned on the stove. Sure
enough, within a minute the steam was merrily hissing out in a
fairly consistent stream. The big moment was at hand-it was
time to slip on the pressure gauge.
Lo, just as the book had said, the indicator level began to rise,
each red ring signifying 5 pounds of pressure. Within seconds
(by the clock, in my anxiety it seemed like hours), it reached
the “cook” position. I lowered the heat and set the timer for 20
minutes.
I pulled up the kitchen stool and watched the cooker
intently, feeling somewhat like the early Bendix washing
machine owners my mother used to describe.
R-R-Ring! The timer bell snapped me out of the hypnotic
trance.
Rechecking the instruction book, I turned off the stove and
lifted the Presto and tiptoed with it to the sink. As the cool
water trickled over the lid, each red line disappeared back into
the gauge.
“When the indicator has disappeared, remove the gauge.
Never remove lid first.” I followed the manual to the letter.- -
No explosion! As 1 unsnapped the lid, the most marvelous
moist, aroma filled the air. Steam saturated with the richness of
chicken, wine, and spices. There was the beautiful bird nestled
among the juices of artichokes and onions -a real gourmet
treat.
Looking at the clock - all this glory in only 25 minutes! My
very own pressure cooking success.
In the week following that success, I have cooked everything
in the cabinets, vegetable crisper, freezer, and have made three
additional trips to the super market.
I’ll never stew in the kitchen again. Why did I ever wait so
long to try a Presto?
Pressure Cooker Chicken-Gourmet Style
3-4 pound stewing or baking chicken
‘/2 cup white wine or vermouth
1 can artichokes and juice
1 chicken bouillon cube
3 onions, peeled
1 stalk celery, cut in half
salt
6-8 fresh mushrooms, optional
Sprinkle chicken with salt and paprika, then put all
ingredients in the pot. Snap on cover and cook according to
pressure cooker manual. When done, remove chicken and
vegetables. Thicken stock with flour to make gravy. Serve with
rice.
If you don’t have a Presto, use a heavy pan with a tight fitting
lid and simmer 20-30 minutes per pound, adding extra water
whenever necessary.
If you have any questions or recipes you would like to share
please write me: Georgia Egg Commission, 1687 Tullie Circle,
N.E., Suite 118, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
counsel of Jesus Himself:
"Blessed are the merciful, for
they stall obtain mercy
Happy are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the
children of God.’’ Matthew
5:7-9.
A few of the questions being
discussed are these: Should the
state develop a program for
involving young people in fight
ing the problems of pollution?
Should the state set up, on a
community level, comprehen
sive mental health facilities to
deal with the mental health
problems of Georgians?
Should the department of Edu
cation provide diversified, con
tinuing education programs for
all adults?
Should the schools make use
of part-time personnel, such
as doctors, lawyers, business
men, actors, writers, and com
posers to enrich educational
experiences?
Should the skills of retired
people be used to help solve
social, governmental and other
problems confronting the state
in a kind of “Peace Corps”
program for the elderly?
These are stimulating ques
tions, questions that will help
many citizens shift from neg
ative criticism to positive
action as Christian witnesses
of God’s love and service for
people.
Our LordHimselfgives us the
lead: "Judge not, that you may
not be Msed.” Matthew 7:1.
WhatsoeMsr you do to the least
of My brethern, you do unto
Me. Matthew 25:40.
God bless you now.

WHEAT FEEDING
Extensive use of wheat for
livestock feed has been a dead
issue in the U.S. for the past 20
years. But now it has come
very much alive. The upsurge
of wheat feeding became ap
parent a couple of years ago
when it suddenly soared to 176 ’
million bushels. This was more
than three times the amount
used in 1967-68. During the
year ending June 30, 1971, the
use of wheat for livestock feed
may reach 235 million bushels.
