FRANKLIN, GEORGIA HEARS FIRST RADIO MESSAGES ON JULY 2nd

Franklin, Ga is not on a railroad line, hardly on a telephone line, and 
roads are just barely passable but it has been demonstrated that Franklin is 
right in line of the aerial waves which carry wireless messages. Saturday 
last, Mr. E.C. Etchison of Fairfax, Ala., brought his radio outfit, which he 
quickly installed at the home of his father-in-law Dr. J.W. Daniel, when all 
who called had the pleasure to hear the sporting news, the crop reports, and 
the delightful concerts broadcast by the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta 
Constitution and other broadcasting stations. It was the first time radio 
messages had been heard in Heard County but we expect soon to see a number 
of home outfits installed. The Franklin News and Banner.
