cynical humorist. He went to the
trouble of drawing a large picture
burlesquing Atlanta from the City
Hall to the last garbage dump beyond
"Pittsburg."

In one corner was a large building
marked Hot Air Factory" Next to
it was the City Hall. called THE
House of Mystery" and on top of the
building sat a doubtful bird mark

ture showed three stragglers passing
out of a gate with the remark:
Griffin amt SO bad after all"
