“Marrol,” an antebellum home featured on Madison’s Christmas
Tour of Homes December 4 and 5, was once a Confederate
hospital (PRN)
TOUR
GEORGIA
MADISON (PRN) - In
1845. wrote historian George
White, Madison was “the
wealthiest and most
aristocratic village along the
stagecoach route between
Charleston and New Orleans.”
Years later, the “aristocratic
village” survived the onslaught
of Sherman due to the
intervention of Senator Joshua
Hill, a prominent local citizen
and a close friend of the
northern general’s brother
John. Senator Hill was known
to be a strong opposition to
secession.
At any rate, this quiet little
town born in 1809 has
managed to preserve its share
of beautiful antebellum
mansions, eight of which will
be open to the public
December 4 and 5, from 1 to
5 p.m.
One highlight of this year’s
Christmas Tour is a close hand
look at the renovation of
Casulon Plantation. Owned by
the Morgan County Historical
Society. Inc., this manor
house, along with some 16
acres, was a gift from the
Armstrong Corporation.
Originally part of a
10.000-acre plantation,
Casulon is perhaps the last of
its kind in Georgia.
“Thurleston,” a classic
triple-gabled house built in
1813 and moved eight miles to
its present location, has not
been opened publicly in 14
years. Os special interest here
are rare and exotic plants and
trees - including palms -
surrounding the house and its
three-acre lake. Heirloom

abound in this traditional
home.
Newly restored and
christened “Marrol,” one
unusual Madison home
boasting columns on pedestals
once served as a Confederate
hospital. It was built more
than a decade prior to the
Civil War.
Another house recently
renovated and open on the
holiday tour is “Villa Dean,”
built in 1820 and once
occupied by descendants of
Francis Scott Key. Here are
classic examples of
architectural techniques which
retain the heritage of
yesterday blended with
modern comforts of today.
Particularly attractive is a
mammoth kitchen done in
150-year-old heart of pine and
graced with an open hearth
fireplace.
Wittich House, which will
serve as tour headquarters, is
an original settler’s cottage
said to be of the Federal
period prior to 1810,
complete with Williamburg
details including beaded
siding. It was saved from
destruction by the Morgan
County Historical Society and
moved to its present site at
South Main Street.
Tickets may be purchased

In the olden days. Dad kept
strict discipline by applying
his razor strap to the seat of
trouble, but today's father,
with his electric razor, is at
a decided advantage as a dis
ciplinarian
One reason some of us
have a measure of good left
in us, is because we haven t
distributed much of it so far.
OyiBMKjM
In 1931,
it took 13 cents’ worth of electricity
to roast a 12-pound turkey.
Today it takes just seven cents.
Os course, the turkeys were tougher in ’3l. And the
ovens weren’t as hot. But the biggest reason it costs
less today is that the price you pay for electricity
is lower.
Forty years ago, our average residential price
per kilowatt-hour was 5.6 cents. But it’s just 1.7
cents today. At that price, you can bake a pumpkin
pic for less than four cents. Make your own cranberry
muffins for two cents. And do the dishes afterward
for less than two cents.
Compared to 1931, most prices are higher. But
not ours. Just measure the value you get against the
price you pay. We think you’ll agree. Electricity con
tinues to be a bargain. The biggest bargain in your
family budget. In any season.

Where Character
Counts
A friend tells of living in
France for a school year and
the puzzling question which
feced his three teenagers as
they attended a French school.
They were typical American
High School youngsters. The
so-called “culture shock” of a
new land, new ways and new
friends made them question
themselves, their values, and
their new surroundings. They
all spent many an evening at
the supper table trying to figure
out what created the order of
popularity among French stu
dents.
They discovered the usual
criterion of highschool success
did not count in France! Clothes
meant nothing, for everyone
wore slacks, jeans and
sweaters. Athletic prowess
counted for little; it was viewed
as an interesting personal ac
complishment and little more.
Dating as we know it, and “so
cial” popularity hardly existed,
and liad notldng to do with
determining the esteem in which
a boy or girl was held. Yet
esteem there was, and a clear
rank of influence and moral
authority among the French stu
dents.
At last the Americans con
cluded that your rank depends
on “what kind of person you
are.” It was an insight worth
the whole trip, our friend con
fides - the realization tivat the
inner reality called character
is what actually counted.
RESOLUTION: May all par
ents, students and teachers
think for themselves and think
correctly in preparing classes,
studying diligently, organizing
study habits and home atmos
phere, treasuring honesty,
character and respect for all.
SCRIPTURE: "Jesus began
to teach in the synagogue. Many
when they heard Him were
astonished saying, “Where did
He get all this wisdom? Is not
this the carpenter?” Mark 6:3.
PRAYER: Lord, a new car
without a motor is worthless.
Let me not be a genius without
character.
God bless you now

This is the time of year the
"string savers" come into their
own. If you carefully unwrapped
Christmas gifts last year, then
folded papers and rolled up
ribbons, now's the time to look
over your savings. You can make
ribbons look and feel like new.
even tie like new, with spray
sizing. Magic sizing, sprayed
on as you press, turns last year's
limp loot into "like new" trim
mings for this year's gifts.
