Back Yonder ; _AND | NOW - - Athens was enjoying a mild Jan pary back in 1828, inspiring the editor of The Athenian to remark that for ten days the thermometer had ranged from 64 to 76, “a de gree of heat seldom if ever known at this sason of the year”. A savannah newspaper reported that the Pride of Indig was in bloom and green peas as well as fresh <had were on the market. The general store of Shaw and Edwards must have been stuck with 5 lot of seal-skin caps as they were vigorousty pushing them in their advertisements along with announcements that a col jection of books to suit every read er's taste had just arrived at their establishment, < Over their games of back- . gammon the women of Athens no doubt gossiped about the nzstounding” performer who soon was to appear iat the lo cal theater, This fellow, ac cording to his press agent, would go into a hot 'oven arm ed with a bottle of wine and a 2 baked chicken, remaining “therein until he has eaten and drunk the same". Then he would emerge in a cloud of smoke, Or, perhaps, the fem inine residents of the ‘towh were telling each other of hav ing just bought the loveliest powder ipuff and box at Shaw and Edwards, or a new pair of “Do black and fancy coloured prunelias’, (cloth-topped shoes) at the same emporium, Every conceivable human want could be satisfied at Shaw and Ed wards. Serious-minded customers could find there books on theology, history, biography, geography, as well as the works of Mrs. Opie, Byron, Goldsmith and James Fen nimore Cooper. In its medicinal department this store advertises all sorts of nostrumse including paregoric and laudanum. The lat ter drug seems to have been a popular home remedy at the time judging by the openness with which it is advertised. The State of Georgia prohibited its open sale about twenty-five years ago. Many people hecame addicts to the drug. Musical instruments of every de scription were on sale at Sha.wl and Edwards and here the house wife could stock up on groceries, or gentlemen of #he day might procure the latest type of beaver hat, boots, or other wearing ap parel. Steel vazors and elastie razor straps were to be had at the same place where chess and backgammen boards were also on display. For intellectual diversion the scholarly ilk of the community might engage in such debates as that then raging within the col umns of The Athenidn between “Pulsat” and “Amicus Scientias” over the existence of a subter raneous stream flowing from the sea into the bowels of the earth where “Pulsat” contended the salt water was changed to fresh dur- Ing its course under the ground. These two gladiators, like a couple of desperately earnest gamecocks in a deserted barnyard quietly, but with hereulean determination ac companied by the flow of many words, go at each other from day to day, requiring from two to four columns of The Athenian for their firm but courteous thrusts, never descending, however, to an un gentlemanly level. The civie-minded among the mopulace were rejoicing upon the establishment of 5 direct mail be tween “this place and Daniels ville”, ; . | (To Be Continued) | MEETING TOMORROW WILL DECIDE FATE OF LEGION PROJECT A meeting which will probably decide the fate of the Legion re creational center program on Lump kin street’will be held at the Geor gian hotel tomorrow night at 8 Oclock.

DESCRIPTION GIVEN Detectives to Trace Hand- Drawn Map Designating Bank Found on Man. } : LATE FLASH : DECATUR, Ga.—(AP)—Se curities, charred currency and charters of a number of banks in Georgia and Tennesses were l unearthed by Dekalb county police today near the spot where they fought a gun battle with five men Friday night. : Securities from a Riesville, , Tenn., bank and from Ham ilton nationai banx in Chatta nooga were included in the find, it was said by George B. Jack son of the county police office. Bank charters ‘of the bank of l lla, at lla, Ga., the Jasper coun ty bank of Monticello and a bank ‘in Madisonville, Tean., were also found, Jackson said W. O. Parker ' Chief of Dekalbh county police set convicts at work digging near fthe spot where bunglar tools were found after the gun battle Friday. The papers were found buried about 20 feet from where the safeblowing tools were discovered, ; Three men were arrested and two es caped in the encounter. Police listed the three men being held as Frank Miller, of Dallas Texas, George Brunson, Hamilton, Ga,, and George Gray, ! of New Orleans. With the arrest of three gunmen by DeKalb police late Friday night following 5 machine gun duel in which two others escaped, Athens police and county officers today believed they had received the first break in the recent attempt to rob the Hubert Banking com pany. They also expressed belief that solution to the robbery last week of the Bank of Ila would come rapidly. The three men captured were George Gray, who described him gelf as a New Orleans salesman, and of whom you will read more about in this story; George Brun son, Hamilton, Ga., and Frank Miller, Dallas, Texas. In the bullet-riddled auto offi cers found Texas and Illinois li cense plates and complete safe blowing equipment. From the time the attempt was made unsuccessfully to rob the Hubert bank, officers have felt the attempt was only one of a series being perpetrated by some outside gang recently operating in the state. Many small Georgia banks have been robbed in the past month in an epidemic of safe loot ings. Map Important ‘ On one of the men arrested of ficers found a detailed, hamd-J drawn map of north Georgia, show ing turns, cross-roads and a bank 98.6 miles from Atlanta. Totalling | the distance from Atlanta to Ath ens and from Athens to Ila, by wlay of Danielsville, one finds the dis tances correspond almost to the dot. ‘ Reading the story of the arrest in the Atlanta papers Sunday, a Banner-Herald reporter had a hunch the men might have been the gang that robbed the Ila bank and attemptéd to rob the Hubert bank. | The pictures were shown em-: ployes of the Hubert bank and one of the three was singled out'\ (Continued on page three) Luke Lea Attends Funeral of Mother RALEIGH, N C— () —Luke Lea, former United States sena tor from Tennessee, left the North Carolina state prsion under guarc shortly before 10 a. m. today en route to Nashville to attend fun eral services for his mother.
