Discovery Comes When the Workmen I .......»>-••*«»" Building in Atlanta j _ | The “lost cornerstone of Georgia Ma¬ sons has been found. Forgotten by all but the oldest members of the order, its recovery hoped for but little ex¬ pected, the prized stone was unearthed Friday by workmen digging the wall foundations of the new -Palmer build¬ ing being erected cm the site of the old Bijou theatre, at the corner of Marietta and Forsyth streets. By Hip merest chance it was saved after being dug up. Too heavy to re¬ move intact, the Htone was ordered split. As it came asunder under heavy blows of the hammer the workmen were astonished to find that in the cen¬ ter was a cavity containing Masonic literature, newspapers and miscellane¬ ous articles, some of the documents damaged by the slow decay of time, hut others in a state of perfect pre¬ servation. Nearly sixty-three years ago. on August 11. 1859. the granite cube _ was set in its place with Masonic ceremonies. The building. when completed, was to have been used as a temple. Financial difficulties de¬ layed construction. Two years Inter turbulent times came with the Civil war. The unfinished structure was beaten and battered. The site passed into other hands. Years later when the debris was cleared to build the DeGive opera house, the stone was not resurrected and Masons virtually gave it up as lost.. When found Fri¬ day it was several feet below the -theet level. its contents will he presented in the museum at the Masonic temple on Peacht reestreet. i TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Uj,;.
