Georgia banner. April 18, 1856, Image 1
James A. and Frank M. Welch founded the Transcript in 1840 as Newnan’s fourth newspaper. In that same year, the masthead changed to the Georgia Banner with Saxon M. Anderson as the printer. Later, this title became the Georgia Banner and Sentinel. During the antebellum period, the paper served as the legal organ for Coweta, Heard, Carroll, and Meriwether counties. The newspaper ceased publication during the Civil War, but the Welch family played a major role in the founding and continuation of the Newnan Herald in the post-war years.
