146th Birthday September 2011 — The Newnan Times-Herald/MyConnection — 1B By W. WINSTON SKINNER [email protected] The Newnan Times-Herald has a rich and vibrant history, but the newspaper is also up to date when it comes to technology. Today, the newspaper’s new digital edition is being rolled out. The digital edi- tion will have a number of new and innovative features that will appeal to readers in Coweta County and in other places. It is accessed through the newspaper’s website at www.times-herald.com. Just click on the newspaper logo at the top right of the home page. Joey Howard, Times- Herald classified advertising manager, was checking the website of The Nashville Tennessean sometime in 2009 and was impressed with the digital edition there. The Times-Herald’s new digital edition is done in conjunc- tion with Tecnavia Press, Inc., the company that does online editions for such newspapers as The Tennessean, USA Today and The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Founded in 1975, Tecnavia has offices in Burnsville, Minnesota, and in Lugano, Switzerland. The level of technology at Tecnavia is advanced. Looking through the digital edition online in one of the functions mimics the experi- ence of “turning the pages” of the print newspaper. “It’s the closest thing we can give our readers to an actual experience of reading the paper digitally,” Howard said. The new software also offers various page view and text view options, and allows the viewer to enlarge the page for easier reading. “You can click on the story, and it will come up exactly as it looks in the newspaper,” Howard said. That function is a great one for people who want to clip something for a scrapbook. The reader can also choose to see the story in a plain text format. In addition, the digital edi- tion will offer a voice reader function, which will read the story in six languages — English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Dutch. A search function is part of the digital edition. There is also an e-Notify function that may be activated to get an automated message when there is a story about a topic of interest. The Times-Herald also is available in e-book format. The digital edition can be accessed via a computer or mobile device — as well as on an Amazon Kindle, a Sony Reader, a Nook Reader and an iPhone/iPod. Jonathan Melville, the newspaper’s IT coordinator, said that if the edition is not accessible by iPad by Sept. 9, it will be soon. “We’re work- ing hard at it,” he said. Naomi Jackson, Times- Herald circulation director, said the digital edition will include everything produced by the newspaper staff. Such extras as USA Weekend, the Sunday color comics section and advertising inserts will not be part of the online product. “If you are a paid print edi- tion subscriber, you will have a digital edition for free,” Jackson said. She said sub- scribers who do not already have them soon will get “a user name and password” to access the digital edition. Colleen D. Mitchell, the newspaper’s sales and mar- keting director, pointed to the digital edition as one more facet of what sub- scribers to the newspaper get. In addition to the print and digital editions 365 days a year, subscribers also get the Coweta Living guide annually and six issues of Newnan-Coweta Magazine per year. “You’re getting a tremen- dous amount for your money. It’s really a good deal,” Jackson added. “We do have subscribers for the digital edition only,” Jackson said. She said most of them are former Coweta County residents who now live in other states but want to keep up with what is hap- pening in this area. In addition to the digital edition, the newspaper also has added a new, updated photo gallery. The photo service is now handled through MyCapture, which is a division of Second Street in St. Louis, Mo. “It’s more pleasing to the eye visually — a more pleas- ing experience in looking for photos and albums,” Howard said. Mitchell noted the new photo gallery program also offers “new and different products” featuring images from The Times-Herald. Such items as T-shirts, mousepads, buttons, mag- nets, coffee mugs, aprons, playing cards, coasters and Christmas ornaments are available with any picture from The Times-Herald’s photo gallery collection. Howard noted that includes “thousands of unpublished pictures” as well as those that appear in the newspaper. Recently, The Times-Herald was ranked seventh among MyCapture galleries — with 6,500-7,000 pageviews for two consecu- tive weeks. The new gallery page was launched in July. Photos from August 2007-June 2011 can be accessed through a link on the gallery page.

A LOOK AT THE PAST , STEPPING INTO THE FUTURE By W. WINSTON SKINNER [email protected] Coweta County’s local daily newspaper was formed through the combining of two older newspapers. The Newnan Herald was a Coweta institution for 70 years before The Newnan Times was established. The papers were competitors for a decade before they were combined. The Newnan Herald was founded by two attorneys, J.S. Bigby and J.C. Wootten, and the first issue came off the presses on Sept. 9, 1865 — exactly five months after the Civil War ended. The four-page weekly — the first paper started in Georgia after the Civil War — cost $3 per year and was pub- lished on Saturday. Soon after the first Herald hit the streets, Bigby — who became active in local politics — sold his interest in the paper to James A. Welch. Following the deaths of Welch and Wootten, the Herald was edited by A.B. Cates, a native of Tennessee and a Confederate veteran. Cates ran the Herald until late 1886 or early 1887 when the Herald consolidated with the Coweta Advertiser, which had been published by W.W. Wadsworth, a Methodist minis- ter. After the merger of the Herald and Wadsworth’s jour- nal, the newspaper became known as The Herald and Advertiser. James E. Brown, who later became known as Judge Brown after his appoint- ment as a U.S. Commissioner, became editor. He served for four decades and was known for his insightful editorials. Brown was born in Marion County in 1854. Before coming to Newnan, he founded the Henry County Weekly in 1877. “Coweta County Chronicles” related that Brown served as editor there until 1886 when he came to Newnan as editor of the Advertiser, coming to the Herald and Advertiser after the merger. Brown married a Newnan woman, Kate Milner, in 1883. In 1912, Brown sold the Herald and Advertiser to Rhodes McPhail “after having guided its fortunes for nearly 25 years,” according to “Chronicles.” The sale did not last, however. “The Herald peo- ple wanted James E. Brown and James E. Brown wanted to return to his accustomed place — which he did with Ellis M. Carpenter as an assistant,” the county history reported. In 1915, the Herald and Advertiser absorbed another rival, the Newnan News, and the paper again became known as the Newnan Herald. “Chronicles” reported, “The owners of the News are part owners of the Herald, and the owners of the Herald happy to have devoured a troublesome rival.” Among those serving as business manager during Brown’s tenure were Edgar T. Whatley, Thomas S. Parrott and Oren William Passavant. Passavant also served as editor in 1911 and 1912 in Brown’s absence. Passavant purchased the paper on Brown’s retirement in 1928, serving as editor until 1936. In 1933 the paper was cited for honorable mention in editorial competition. Passavant, who was born in Uniontown, Pa., in 1882, came to Newnan to live in 1906 and married Edgar Means North. The news staff in the early 1930s consisted of Passavant and a young woman named Roberta Lyndon, later Roberta Mayes of Atlanta. “I worked from 1934 until 1936 — when I came to Atlanta,” Mayes recalled in a 1988 interview. “I was a little of everything. Mr. Passavant didn’t have a large staff,” Mayes said. She remembered Passavant as “a marvelous person to work for.” In 1936, Passavant sold the paper to Hanson G. Ford. During the four years that Ford operated the Herald, his wife, Dorothy Gardner Ford, a descendant of Newnan’s Cole Newspaper’s history starts right after Civil War’s end The Newnan Herald had been born in the aftermath of one war and entered a new era as World War II came to a close. In October 1946, the Herald was acquired from MacNabb by Evan W. Thomasson and James J. Thomasson, publishers of the Newnan Times. The Newnan Times and The Newnan Herald were published separately for about a year after the Thomassons bought the Herald. The first issue of The Newnan Times-Herald was published on Dec. 24, 1947.

A LOOK AT THE PAST, STEPPING INTO THE FUTURE
By W. WINSTON [email protected]
Coweta County’s local dailynewspaper was formedthrough the combining of twoolder newspapers.
The Newnan Herald was aCoweta institution for 70 yearsbefore The Newnan Times wasestablished. The papers werecompetitors for a decadebefore they were combined.
The Newnan Herald wasfounded by two attorneys, J.S.Bigby and J.C. Wootten, and thefirst issue came off the presseson Sept. 9, 1865 — exactly fivemonths after the Civil Warended. The four-page weekly— the first paper started inGeorgia after the Civil War —cost $3 per year and was pub-lished on Saturday.
Soon after the first Heraldhit the streets, Bigby — whobecame active in local politics— sold his interest in the paperto James A. Welch. Followingthe deaths of Welch andWootten, the Herald was editedby A.B. Cates, a native ofTennessee and a Confederateveteran.
Cates ran the Herald untillate 1886 or early 1887 when theHerald consolidated with theCoweta Advertiser, which hadbeen published by W.W.Wadsworth, a Methodist minis-ter.
After the merger of theHerald and Wadsworth’s jour-
nal, the newspaper becameknown as The Herald andAdvertiser. James E. Brown,who later became known asJudge Brown after his appoint-ment as a U.S. Commissioner,became editor. He served forfour decades and was knownfor his insightful editorials.
Brown was born in MarionCounty in 1854. Before comingto Newnan, he founded theHenry County Weekly in 1877.“Coweta County Chronicles”related that Brown served aseditor there until 1886 when hecame to Newnan as editor ofthe Advertiser, coming to theHerald and Advertiser after themerger.
Brown married a Newnanwoman, Kate Milner, in 1883.
In 1912, Brown sold theHerald and Advertiser toRhodes McPhail “after havingguided its fortunes for nearly25 years,” according to“Chronicles.” The sale did notlast, however. “The Herald peo-ple wanted James E.

In 1940, Ford sold the paperto George W. MacNabb andVictor D. Armstrong.Armstrong soon left to serve inthe armed forces, andMacNabb continued as editorand business manager until1946.
Miss Sarah Parrott workedwith MacNabb at the Herald.“It was during the war years,”she said in 1988, describing thelate MacNabb as “an intelligentyoung man.”
She recalled, “It was difficultduring the war. It was hard toget paper to begin with.” Inkwas also rationed. A small staffof no more than five put outthe newspaper.
“We did everything our-selves,” Parrott remembered.Wiley Long was among theemployees during those years.
The paper achieved renownfrom others in the newspaperfield under MacNabb’s leader-ship. The Herald received sev-eral awards from the GeorgiaPress Association, includingfirst place for best editorial andbest news coverage in 1944.
The Newnan Herald hadbeen born in the aftermath ofone war and entered a new eraas World War II came to aclose. In October 1946, theHerald was acquired fromMacNabb by Evan W.Thomasson and James J.Thomasson, publishers of theNewnan Times.

“Throughout the westernpart of the State of Georgia thename of Thomasson has come
to be prominently identifiedwith newspaper publishing,”noted “The History ofGeorgia,” published by theAmerican HistoricalAssociation in 1938.
The first issue of TheNewnan Times was publishedMarch 12, 1936. EmelineThomasson died later that year.
In 1938, James Thomassonmarried Newnan native IdaAskew. Ida Thomasson wasinvolved in the newspaper foryears, working as an editor andwriting a popular weekly col-umn, “Personally Speaking.”
James Thomasson died in1979, and Ida Thomasson diedin 1981. Their son, William W.“Billy” Thomasson, is presidentand owner of The Times-Herald today.
The Newnan Times and TheNewnan Herald were pub-lished separately for about ayear after the Thomassonsbought the Herald. The firstissue of The Newnan Times-Herald was published on Dec.24, 1947.

Offices for The Newnan Times-Herald are at 16 Jefferson Street in downtown Newnan. The newspa-per’s printing facilities are now in a warehouse building in Newnan South Industrial Park.
By W. WINSTON [email protected]
The Times-Herald has beenlocated at 16 Jefferson St. since1966.
The brick building was con-structed as a store in 1914 byNewnan businessman ThomasG. Farmer. The store sold meatand all sorts of farm merchan-dise in the early days — cowfeed, salt blocks, shoes, over-alls, kerosene, anvils.
Hay was stored in part of thebuilding at one point.
The upper floor of the build-ing was used for a variety ofoffices through the mid-1950s.The local Jehovah’s Witnessescongregation met there.
Servicemen returning fromWorld War II took classesupstairs — taught by HenryKitchens and Sarah Robertson.
When Newnan High School— then located nearby onTemple Avenue — becamecrowded, classes for eighthgraders were held on the upperfloor of the building. ElizabethDean was among the teachers,and students included JaneBass, June Rutledge Duncanand Joel Hyde.
Bobby McDonald ranEconomy Auto Store, whichlater became Otasco, in theportion of the building that isnow the advertising and com-position area of the newspaper.
Lindsey Barron and hisbrother-in-law, Willis Edwards,bought the Farmer building in1955. Barron, who later wentinto the real estate business,operated an electrical andplumbing contracting businessat 16 Jefferson St. Applianceswere sold, and furniture was
added with upper floor spacebeing used as furniture store-rooms.
James J. Thomasson and E.W.Thomasson, publishers of TheNewnan Times-Herald, pur-chased the building on June 7,1966. Open house was held onOct. 15 of that year. Prior to themove to 16 Jefferson St., thenewspaper offices had beendiagonally across JeffersonStreet.
Renovations have been madeseveral times since the oldstore building became thenewspaper’s headquarters.
For many years, the press-room was located in the build-ing, but it was moved when thenewspaper began daily publica-tion in 1997. The printing isnow done at a warehouse inNewnan South Industrial Park.
