Cuthbert Evening Notes Mark Political Clash and Local Crime
In a late issue from Cuthbert dated November 5 1870 readers see a sprawling political rant debating Nelson Tift for Congress and C L Hoyl for Senate. The paper covers Bullock Georgia elections and a Dawson row shooting involving Col Ames, plus national tidbits of Prussia's empire move and Grant in New York. It notes a Fulton County tax relief ruling and Clayton county winning a state product premium. The Banner of the South at Augusta shifts to agricultural political focus.
