Newspaper Articles about Butts County and it's people.


Don Bankston has been transcribing newspaper articles for several years and has come to the final roll of microfilm for Butts County Newspapers. On it was a list of newspapers, which is included here for your information. Due to the fact that is was close to 100 years after the publications before the microfilming began, many issues were missing.
