Description

Article (Macon Telegraph, 1933-03-05) reports Atlanta National Bank suspending business following statements from Governor Talmadge after a conference. This is during the March 1933 bank holiday context; the clip only explicitly mentions suspension (government action). No explicit run is described in the provided text. I therefore classify as a suspension (government_action) with assumed later reopening consistent with the 1933 emergency measures, but reopening is not directly stated in the snippet.
