* First KKK assassination in Georgia

The front page has a notable report titled: "The Georgia Military Outrage". This reports on the assassination of G. W. Ashburn who was a Georgia politician assassinated by the Ku Klux Klan in Columbus, Georgia for his pro-African-American sentiments. He was the first murder victim of the Klan in Georgia. The report is extensive, taking over 1 1/2 columns.
Four pages, 3 old tape mends inside, otherwise very nice condition.
