| Description | The Clayton Call likely emerged in the late 1880s in Clayton, Delaware, boasting the "Largest Home Circulation of any Paper in this Vicinity." Published on Tuesday afternoons by W. G. Hill and Company, with W. Lindsay McFarlane as editor, it prioritized local news, including school graduations and town officials. Train schedules for various railroads were also featured. By 1899, it transformed into the Smyrna Call under G. Davis Brown's ownership, maintaining a Tuesday publication schedule and focusing on local news. While politically independent, the Smyrna Call became Democratic under Brown's leadership, reflecting the era's political turmoil. The exact end date of the Smyrna Call remains uncertain.
