Packed 1920 Shepherdstown paper previews election and local court notes
A May 27 1920 Shepherdstown column traces Republican nomination chatter between General Wood and Hiram Johnson, notes a Virginia convention beer issue, and reports on local court actions including three divorces, guardianship matters, and estate settlements. Confederate Memorial Day plans and church notices follow, with community events and obituaries glimpsed in town briefs.
