1913 Georgian front page

The Atlanta Georgian was a daily afternoon newspaper in Atlanta, Georgia. It was struggling when William Randolph Hearst purchased it in 1912 (his ninth newspaper property) and it was transformed into a yellow press making it much more successful if less respected. In 1939, James M. Cox purchased it at the same time as the Atlanta Journal and the Georgian was immediately closed down.
