Thanks, Larry for this answer. Maybe others could mention other newspapers that Pike County might have been covered in. Upson County had these. The early issues are not complete, but beginning in l870 all issues are on microfilm. They're on microfilm in Thomaston Archives as well as U of GA Upson Pilot (Weekly which existed from 1858-1864?) Microfilm covers Dec 2, 1858-Jan 11, 1862 Thomaston Herald (later Georgia Herald) (weekly) Dec 9, 1869-1879? Upson Enterprise (weekly 1878-1879) Microfilm: Mar 26, 1878 - Nov 15, 1879. Thomaston Times Nov 22, 1879 (Early issues called Upson Co Pilot) From: "Lanny Cauthen" <lcauthen@mindspring.com> To: "Crilley" <varcsix@hot.rr.com> Subject: Re: [GAPIKE] 1870 Newspaper Pike Co Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 20:31:20 -0400 X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 I don't know why UGA doesn't have Pike Co. newspapers on microfilm. But recently I went to the library in Zebulon, and the librarian told me that the earliest newspaper in their collection was from 1888. She didn't believe that Pike Co. had a newspaper before then. Until 1920 Barnesville was in Pike Co. I believe some of their newspapers are on microfilm. Also, nearby Griffin has newspapers which date earlier. Lanny Cauthen Virginia Crilley
