Sullivan notes mix of theater, roads, and town needs
Anthony and Ellis with Uncle Tom's Cabin entertained Friday at the Opera House amid poor lighting. Saturday's traffic on the narrow Gaage Road boosted local passenger business as country roads were impassable. Iowa and Texas land deals, a new capital contract, and elected Senators are noted. Old Mrs. Donaldson is ill. Baptist services drew a full house in rain. Fire protection plans for Sullivan highlighted, along with curious coal shaft rumors and rear-facing storefronts. Mayfield & Co. sells 5 cent cigars. Parsons' Exterminator promotes vermin control.
