Delta is a nice place to live and
the same applies to Delta county.
The people are above the average
classes of average communities. The
schools afford better than the aver
age educational advantages The
representation of churches is more
fully in evidence than in the aver
age small cities or country communf
ties, and there is less of the vicious
to snare or entice. Add to these
average healthfulness and produce
tive soil and you have the situation
in nutshell. Few people come to
Delta or Delta county to live who
are not satisfied.
