Newspaper clippings books: All books are hard cover, 8 1/2 X 11 inches and color matched by county. This is the first book of it's kind by this compiler. While extracting Georgia newspapers, the compiler observed that those papers contained many articles about Alabama. In the early part of the nineteenth century, many settlers moving west traveled through (or from) Georgia to Alabama and often from there to points further west. Since there were very few papers in Alabama in the early days, the information contained in Georgia papers should prove to be of value to researchers. This book contains extracts from newspapers across Georgia, but primarily those from Macon, Milledgeville and Columbus. These extracts consist of deaths, marriages, legal notices, sheriff's sales, elections, grand juries, unclaimed letters remaining in various post offices, etc.
