Local Democrats praise their stance on coin circulation and consternation amid party splits. Rumors say a rump convention could be called if the state party adopts the unit rule and Parker instructions.

Historic Sullivan Landmarks Razed
The old frame house on Section Street where J. P. Stratton now resides was a Sullivan landmark, its builder unknown. The 1857 brick house on the site of the new Citizens Trust building, built by Joseph W. Wolfe, housed his son James Wolfe. J. R. McKinley did the carpentry, while Mrs. Sarah Kivett’s Sou Court Street home stands as one of Sullivan’s oldest, once home to Garvey Reed. The text notes early settlers and land ownership, including the Reed family and Willis Benefield’s Bain Street residence now owned by A. E. Hazelrigg.
