The recent news of an escaped rattlesnake from the Atlanta Zoo that ended up dead on the front porch of a Grant Park home reminded me of a classic Athens Banner Herald column from the legendary Dan Magill three years ago. Sometime in the 1930s Magill and his childhood friend, Herschel Carithers, promoted a snake fight on the tennis courts, then located in front of LeConte Hall.
Classic.
Carithers' rattler went down.
