Local notices and charms of 1943 life in Denton
Twenty five years ago this week blackberries sold in big cities for seven to eight dollars per thirty two quart crate. Various local items include a re election of J Dukes Downes as Bank Commissioner, a boy injured jumping onto a freight train near Port Deposit, and church meetings in Bridgetown M E Church. Court postponed October sessions as policy, a pretty wedding in Harrington, Delaware, and multiple local travels and military postings among Denton residents. Also reports on a hospital accident, a birthday party, and community calls for Victory Farm Volunteers to aid the 1943 food crop.
