Empire State – Spalding County Ga. December 16, 1856
At a meeting of the Citizens of Newnan on Monday evening, December 15, 1856, it 
was unanimous resolved that no Negro will be permitted to visit the Town of 
Newnan during the ensuing Christmas Holidays, under any pretext whatever unless 
on special business of the owner or overseer, and that to be specified in his 
pass and to return as soon as such business is transacted.  Any Negro found in 
the streets after 7 o’clock at night, will be put in the Calaboose, there to 
remain until taken out by the owner; and any Negro found on the streets during  
the day, will be severely whipped and sent out of Town
