Marshallville invites public to attend festival
Come, July 2, 1994 to historic
Marshallville! The city extends an
invitation to all who trace their
heritage to this beautiful little
middle Georgia town in the north
eastern portion of Macon County;
as well as to those who love
history, festivals and returning to
yesteryear for a brief interlude.
Located on the Andersonville Trail
(Hwy 49) the city is well known
for the Crape Myrtles which are
planted on both sides of the road
approaching from the south. These
plantings along with beautiful
camellias, dogwoods and ancient
oaks which line the streets in front
of grand old homes give evidence to
the fact that beauty and horticulture
have always been significant to the
people of this region. Come,
experience the warm hospitality
which abounds in true southern
tradition!
Settled in the mid 1820’s,
Marshallville remains a rural
farming community, the names of
its early families still prevail as
some fourth generations and adopted
“newcomers” continue to farm the
rich earth surrounding the area. A
place of culture and hospitality, its
heritage is rich due to the statewide
and regional contributions of its
citizens for the past 170 years.
In 1932, the Memorial Highway
Association, led by Dr. John
Donald Wade, planted the crape
myrtles along Hwy 49 as a

Veteran encourages others
to fight for health care rights
Unless veterans stand together
and present a united effort they can
expect the availability of medical
care and financial entitlements to be
reduced, Commissioner of Veterans
Affairs Pete Wheeler told the
attendees at the Veterans of Foreign
Wars of the United States state
convention.
Wheeler said that the
administration’s current budget calls
for a loss of 4,000 jobs in VA
health care employees during fiscal
year 1995 and over 25,000
personnel would be cut over the
next five years.
“These cuts could not come at a
more inopportune time,” Wheeler
said.
“Under health care reform, the
VA will have to compete with
commercial service providers. With
current staffing levels, VA
hospitals and outpatient clinics
cannot provide services to all
veterans who now seek care,” the
Commissioner stated. “How can
the VA compete in the future if its
resources are reduced.”
The commissioner said that
legislation passed by the House of
beauty of this small town USA and
its pastoral setting, relive a little of
the past, see old friends and join in
the celebration of her heritage and
her promising future. Follow the
Andersonville Trail (Ga. Hwy 49)

from Fort Valley, or take 1-75 exit
42 then travel 13 miles west on

Representatives would exempt the

personnel reductions for the next
five years beginning in October.
