Now for the conclusion of this History Lesson regarding Middle Georgia. I quote from the Plaque on this Landmark Structure in Central City Park, Macon, Georgia:

"While in the City to attend a reunion of Confederate Veterans, Jefferson Davis, Ex-President of the Confederate States of America, addressed the Veterans from this Speakers Stand on Wednesday, October 26, 1887. On the following Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Davis held a levee for children, greeting thousands of them from this stand. Mr. Davis stood near the Center, resting his hand on a small table, while Mrs. Davis sat at his left."

Please note the following definition of the word levee: "A Morning Reception held by a Sovereign or Person of high rank when rising from bed."
