ANOTHER STAR IN
HOME NEWS FLAG
The Home News this week
has suffered the loss of another
of its employees and another
star is added to those alrady
in our service flag.
Our many readers will note
this week the name of Mr. J.
E. Sullivan underneath the
new star in our flag.
The young gentleman came
here from Lonoke, his home
town, in March, to replace
others who went from The
Home News office into the ser
vice of Uncle Sam and we have
never been associated with a
man so young in years who
possessed those qualities nec
essary to command the respect
and influence of those many
years his senior as does Mr.
Sullivan who has just reached
his 21st birthday.
His work his been A 1 and
his association with us has
been indeed pleasant and
profitable and we feel almost
iiKe a uiouier is leaving our
home and business, but we
gladly and freely bid him good
bye and wish him God speed
as he goes into the service of
his government.
Mr. Sullivan will leave next
Wednesday with Circuit Clerk
L. W. Wnfree and Mr. W. B.
Conner of Augusta for New
Orleans where they will enter
Tulane University and take a
course in radio work. From
there they will go wherever
their government needs them
and we know they will make
good in any part of the service
assigned to them. Good luck
to you, boys.
