Beginning in 1885, the News-Banner began to receive the majority of the county's official notices. After gaining tremendous credibility, the Baxley Banner decided to purchase the Appling County News from A.M. Cool in 1902. The name of the Appling County News was then changed to its current name, the Baxley News-Banner. After about four decades, the News-Banner decided to expand again with the purchase of the Baxley Herald from Carr McLemore. The News Banner has had many editors including Warren P. Ward, John C. Geiger, J.H. Thomas, Julius King, N.L. Stafford, George D. Lowe from 1897-1902. In the October 13th, 1927 issue of the newspaper, a new owner, Ulmer L. Cox, was named. He sold it to J.E.
