CENTRAL GEORGIAN, Sandersville, Georgia, June 5, 1861
* Confederate title from the Civil War
* The Lincoln Administration
In our over 30 years in the rare newspaper business this is the very first time we have ever had a newspaper from this small Georgia town, current population less than 7,000. The ftpg. has a bigoted report headed "A Colored Scene on the Road to Washington" (see photos), which is followed by a report headed: "A Big Gun Fight" which includes: "...speculating upon the timing of the opening of the fire upon Fort Pickens, says: 'But commence when it will, I don't think I risk much in saying that in 60 hours after the first gun is fired there will not be a Yankee left in Fort Pickens...". Pg. 2 has a wealth of reports concerning the Civil War including: "The Washington Rifles at Home" "Tariff of the Confederate States" "Farmers and the Confederate Loan" "Doctors of Georgia" "The Fight at Acquia Creek" which includes: "The ball has been opened by the Lincoln government in this section of Virginia..." with more on the battle (see photos). A short report is headed: "The Fight at Fairfax", and "Seizure of a British Vessel" Other items include: "The Southern Soldiers" "Unusual Patriotism" "A Warning to Our Enemies" "Reported Purchase of Arms for the South in Birmingham" "Tariff of the Confederate States" and "Patriotism in Baldwin" and likely other tidbits. Most of the bkpg. is taken up with ads. The very top of the front leaf has a 3/4 by 1 1/2 inch piece removed, not close to any text or ink. Complete in 4 pgs., a few ink smears on the ftpg. only, generally in very nice, clean condition.
