Cuthbert is a town of about 4000 located in Southwest Georgia, along US Highway 82 near the intersection with US Highway 27. Cuthbert is in a predominantly agricultural area and is the county seat of Randolph County. The Randolph County Courthouse was built by the Atlanta architectural firm of Kimball, Wheeler and Parkins using the Queen Anne style of architecture. It was built in 1886 replacing two earlier courthouses. Interestingly, this is the second county in Georgia named after a Virginia statesman named Randolph. The first one changed the name after Randolph sponsored a piece of legislation that angered many people in Georgia.

My latest visit to Cuthbert was to the farm of one of my sister's old friends from college. This is a fairly typical farm in Southern Georgia. Of special note is the spring fed pond in Photo 4 which was dug in 1940 and was used by a local church for baptisms. There was also about a 3 foot alligator in the irrigation pond.

pictured is the randolph county confederate memorial. the memorial has a common standing solder motif but what makes this statue unique is that the solder is saluting.
