This picture was drawn from the cupola of the Hay House in the late 1880's. Notice Georgia Ave., Mulberry Street, Mulberry Methodist Church, 1st Pres Church, and the 1st Baptist Church. St. Joseph's Church has not yet been built. What a wonderful drawing of early Macon!

During the month of June, the Cannonball House will present "Dark Roses and Black Crape", 19th century Mourning customs. See this beautiful Greek Revival home as it would have looked at the death of a family member, complete with all the funeral decortations that would have adorned a home of this period. Learn the customs and traditions, as well as superstitions that were so much a part of the death experience. Admission is $6 for adults, $5 for seniors, $3 for students, and includes a tour of the 1853 Greek Revival home.

"Lizzie's Likings"- "When I was a boy," said a very prosy long-winded orator to his friend, " I used to talk in my sleep." " And now" said his friend, "you sleep in your talk." But somehow that didn't seem to be just exactly the point the orator was going to make. :)

"Lizzie's Likings" - No thought, no word, no act of man ever dies. They are immortal as his own soul. He will be sure to find them again somewhere. Somewhere in this world he will meet their fruits in part: somewhere in the future life he will meet their gathered harvests. It may, and it may not, be a pleasant one to look upon.

"Lizzie's Likings" - "Despair was never yet so deep, In sinking as in seeming: Despair is hope but fallen asleep, For better chances of dreaming."

"Lizzie's Likings" - THE JACKET OF GRAY - Fold it up carefully, lay it aside, tenderly touch it, look on it with pride - For dear to our hearts must it be evermore, The jacket of gray our loved soldier wore. by Mrs. C. A. Ball

"Lizzie's Likings" - "Jim, have you seen John's wife?" "Yes, I've seen her." "Is she as thin as the boys say she is?" "I should say so. She looks like a string of buttons."
