by another tIrn taken in the case
OF w. b. Lyons and his son, Archie
Lyens, now in the Glynn county Jail
awaiting trial at the June session of
the superior court for the murder of

at all in this county.
Attorneys representing the ex-sheriff

the supreme court seeking to prevent
the trial of the prisoners in this coun-
ty. Objection is raised to the trial in
this county on the ground that attor-
neys representing the defendants did
not agree to the trial in this county
and that an objection to a change of
venue was filed.
Just what will be the recult of the

probable that the supreme court will

Some people think skyscraper

there's still enough left to catch fire

So in the near future tower about
six stories in height will be erected
