Wilmington Post Admits a Week of Heat and Local Notices
The Wilmington Post for June 25, 1882 reports sultry weather with no sun strokes, interments at Oakdale and Bellevue cemeteries, and weekly deaths and marriages. It notes lighted lamps, a dropped pulpit on Market Dock, ship name change of the German bark August to David G Worth, sidewalk disputes on Third Street, and a Minnehaha trip with colorful observations. It includes politics letters, city attorney debate, and community notes from Brunswick County with reflections on race relations and local governance. Market prices for cotton, corn, turpentine, rosin, and tar rise in Wilmington with currency and commodity quotes.
