Daily Item

The Sunbury Daily, established in 1872, and The Evening Item, which started in 1893, came together on July 1, 1936. The Daily Item was published five afternoons a week and was owned by the Dewart family along with local investors until April 15, 1970, when it was acquired by Ottaway Community Newspapers. Under Ottaway's ownership, the newspaper underwent modernization and improvements. In 1979, they installed new printing presses and later, in the late 1980s, added Saturday and Sunday morning editions. In 2001, the publication expanded further by purchasing The Danville News.

BALTIMORE — There were sidearm slings to Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar in stride and completions to Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins and Mark Andrews. Some throws were on target, some were off, some were intercepted. The difference was who was throwing them. It was in many ways the full Lamar Jackson experience, at least as much as it can be this time of year, with plenty of bounce in his step. kAm%F6D52J 27E6C?@@?[ E96 #2G6?D BF2CE6C324< >256 9:D 7:CDE 2AA62C2?46 :?
