The Hocking sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1871-1906, 1892-11-24
THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Our Ticket--Logan.

After the brass band, the tin horn,
stump speaking, button -holing,
argument and contention of the
politician, the ffice-seeking clamor
of political campaining is over,
: all rest and let up but the Edi-
tor. Then, his work is just begun.
If defeat settles upon his party, the
heaviest load is laid on him. If
victory crowns his party, the latest
recruit, like the last fire rocket,
claims the greatest glory. But the
Editor goes on keeping his party
lines in shape for advance or de-
fense, an eye on the future and a
look out for any possible contin-
gency that may arise.
But in the political lull of at
least eleven of the twelve months
his duties, as citizen, and helper
in the general public good are then
most onerous. The schools, the
churches, the manufactures, the
stores, the roads, the crops, the
products of farm and garden and
work shop, the health, happiness,
prosperity of his town and county,
then command his constant atten-
tion. In this broad field the SEN
TINEL now enters for that campaign,
promising, in the best it can, to
make Logan still more proudly and
deservedly the Queen of the Hook
ing Valley. Our schools have no
superior in the state, our churches
are christian in every sense, and
the ministers worthy of their call.
ing; our physicians, are skilled, ac
complished and dutiful; our lawyers
are among the ablest of any bar in
the state; our industrial enterprises
are prospering, our store rooms fill
ed with every desirable commodity.
The health of our town is excellent,
and under the supervision of the
health officer, it is the cleanest in
the state. But above all we have a
people, honest, Industrious, sober,
intelligent and neighborly. Good
feeling exists between parties and
scots, and business competitors. We
are band of brothers and thus far,
standing together as we do, can rise
above the incidental disasters that
would have been fatal calamities to
any other town than Logan.
We are now in the campaign for
future progress. We have the geo
logical location for good health and
prosperous industry. The eye of
Chicago is on the Coal Fields of
the Hooking Valley, and men and
money are combining to push road
from that great metropolis into the
heart of Hooking coal fields. The
b. & o. are surveying our surround
ings and look with anxious eye up
on our brick plants The Pennsyl-
vania system has had prospectus
down throuh Benton and across
Star, seeking coal and clay. The
forces of great future on develop
ing around us. 1t will be for US to
keep Logan in the line of obser-
walton and with the kindly help !
which the SENTINEL has always had
from the people of this town, 1T
shall be our purpose to secure some
of the capital looking with anxious
eve to profitable investment. Among
the first things that should be done
is to organize a Board of Trade.
Then the Immediate practical work
is tho Logan Mfg Co, the establish
ment OF a motor car line on the tow
path, labor and school trains on the
railroad, the Motherwell Works,
a new post -e building on the
city lot, free mail and express de-
livery by cycle to neighborilg vii
ages. There are lots of things
notions now .nebulous in the minds
Of our people. unseen as electricity,
and as idle and worthless as the
lay, which by intelligent thought
nav be made ministers to our good.
This will be continued.
