Description | The New Era, founded by Caleb J. Freeman and Frank W. Reeve in 1885 in Middletown, Delaware, championed "Liberty and Independence" as its motto. With a Democratic stance, it endorsed candidates like Robert Reynolds in the 1890 gubernatorial election. Offering diverse content, from political endorsements to train schedules and church directories, it catered to local interests. Sections like "Local Miscellany" covered personal tidbits, while farm notes and fashion updates added variety. By 1890, it cost 3 cents per issue or $1 annually, and it served as a platform for Reeve and Weber's printing services. Despite its significance, the end date of The New Era remains elusive. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1890 of this newspaper. |
