The
Athens Blade
was a short-lived newspaper. Only one year after it was founded, Pledger changed its name to the
Atlanta Defiant
and moved it to Atlanta. He brought the paper back to Athens two years later, but it lasted only a year or two more. Heard and his "radical pen" moved to South Carolina in 1883, and the following year the
Blade
disappeared from the scene.
