South-western news. August 6, 1856, Image 1
William B. Guerry, with assistance from J. E. Mercer, founded the South-western News in Americus in 1855 and edited the newspaper until 1860. Reverend A. A. Robinson was the paper’s next editor for about a year before leaving to join the Confederate army. On June 1, 1861, Atlanta’s Daily Locomotive editor A. B. Seals purchased the South-western News. Seals changed the masthead to the Americus Weekly Post and continued as editor and owner until the newspaper ceased publication in 1862.
