1117JFKfrontpage
The Daily Times, an evening newspaper and precursor to The Times, printed an “extra” edition on Nov. 22, 1963, the day President John F. Kennedy was killed.
News of the day included a residents’ group disbanding over a tax equalization issue in Hall County and the Georgia Poultry Federation protesting a claim the U.S. had lost $26 million in exports. Those were top stories in the Nov. 22, 1963, edition of The Daily Times, an evening paper that circulated in Gainesville and served as the precursor to The Times. They would soon be overshadowed.
