SGT. J. E. SULLIVAN
RETURNS TO McCRORY
The Home News editor is
i glad to announce to our many
readers this week that Mr. J.
; Edward Sullivan, who left our
office Sept. 17, and entered the
service of our government, has
| been honorably discharged
from the army and has return
ed to his former duties with
The News.
Mr. Sullivan's valuable ser
vices have been greatly missed
and we have endeavored to
overcome the loss, but we could
not possibly give our readers
as good a newspaper without
him as before he left. We
hope to again maintain the
high standard now that he has
returned.
The gentleman returnes in
the same manner that he left,
with a clean record. He brings
with him an honorable dis
charge and a certificate of
faithful and efficient service.
We are glad to state that dur
ing his short period in the
radio branch of the army at
Camp Martin, Tulane Univer
sity, New Orleans, La., he was
promoted to sergeant and was
one of 40 men selected from
250 to go to the officers train
ing camp at Camp Taylor, Ky.
Sgt. Sullivan is now back at
his former duties as Linotype
Operator with The Home
News and there were none
more delighted to welcome
him home than his present and
former employer.
