Well.
II told him there was some
thing wrong aud he admitted it.
l asked him to stand up and be
sworn. He said he bought a lot
of slate roofing from Jacob
Schwarz, who by the way is one
OF the best judges and most pop
ular dealers in the county. Then
he had a dicker with Gus Ma
COON. A few mornings later he
woke up and thought a cyclone
had struck the house. He jump
ed up and stuck his head out Of
the WINDOW and saw that Tom
Mays, that skilled foreman of the
Logan Mfg. Co. had a dozen men
on The house and they were rip

4 Gas Well In Logas.

Mr.. T. F. Mccarthy and two
other gentlemen propose to in
vest each $4,000 in sinking a
well for natural gas in Logan.
The proposition Is to sink the
we'll 1900 feet. This can be done
with the $500 already guaran-
teed. If it be required to go
deeper, and an additional cost is
required, it will be only fair for
our citizens 10 lend helping
hand, and spare dollar to de-
velop this source of wealth,
which will certainly benefit us.
If We obtain gas we have the
assurance that the Columbus roll.
Ing mill will come to Logan.I If we
obtain gas, we will get not only
Gratis, but a number of other
furnaces to locate in our town,
doubling our: population and
making Logan what her position
geographically gives her,the cen.
trail industrial city of southern
Ohio.
The Sentinel has but few dol
lars to spare, but'it has faith in
Logan. 1t will contribute when
500. to make the test for
gas let our citizens
talk and think over this matter,
and conclude if it wont pay us
al TO spend few dollars to even
make an experiment. which if
successful will double our popu
alton, double the business, and
the value of all the prop.

has, and his mother knows he has.
/" The boys" Harry's old companions,
laugh little, and say I" Just wait
awhile and you'll see." What has
Harry done? He has smoked his last
cigarette; he has bought his last sem
sational story-paper; he has taken hold
of his school work in earnest; he has
turned his back on the T" fast " boys,
and says to them, in manly way, when
they want him to join them in some of
their old-time wicked fun, " I can't go
into that with you, boys" AT home he
is a different boy. There is no more
teasing to spend his evenings on the
street; no more slamming of doors
when he is not allowed to have his own
way; no more sour looks and tagging
footsteps when required to obey. Just
this: A looking-glass was held up be-
fore Harry's eyes; in it he saw himself
a selfish, conceited, wilful boy, on the
road to ruin. The sight startled him,
as well it might. He did not shut his
eyes, as he might have done, but he
looked long enough to see that he was
fast getting to bear the likeness of one
of Satan's boys, and he said This
won't do! must be one of Gods boys"
Harry soon found that he could not
change one of his evil ways, so he was
obliged to let God make the change in
him; and it is indeed great change.
Harry has chosen the good part"
