exclusion of others in the Circle
vile proceedings was not fair on the
face of it, and that the request for
the appointment of a Receiver
would be granted.
Col. A. c. Sands was suggested
! by Mr.. Buerhaus, in behalf of all
the depositors other than those in
cluded in the C,rclcville list The
Bank attorneys made no objection
and the appointment Mas made, the
bond fixed at $50, 900, which was at
once given, Col. Rempel and 0. w.
II. Wright gong on the bond. Mr..
Sands was qualified and at about
10 O'Clock Monday night, entered
the Bank, took possession, and is
now engaged in the work for which
he has been appointed.
The selection of Col. a. c. Sands
gives, as well it may, universal salts
faction. lie Is not in any way entang
ed with any of the business compiia-
tons of the town, or any of It's enter.
prises. lie goes into service without
prijudice or preference, clear head
ed and clean handed and will do bis
duty without fear, favor or.affection.
lie is well qualified for the work,
he was for mum Der of
years the President of the Second
National Bank of Hamilton and for
nearly 40 years has had relation with
banking business. He is gentleman of
genial disposition, affable manners,
gentlemanly courtesy, and IN the
strict, severe, law directing duties he
is called on to perform will make
his work as kindly temper ed, as it is
possible for any mortal man TO
do.
The selection of Col. Sands,
''Archbishop Alex' to all the pub
lie men in Ohio, is a sunny dispen-
sation in these cloudy times, and
gives promise we hope of recover
ed youth to Logan.
Alex Sands is not a stranger,
not way farer III Logan
and in the Hooking Valley. 1t was
among our border hills Of fEinton he
grew up 10 manhood; here he mar
ried his wife, and III the morning Of
mis- manhood was the leading spirit
in projecting and building the old
Somerset andScioto Valley railroad,
traces of which can yet be seen along
our valley and on the outskirts of
the town. He was one of the contract
ors, and in this service or his com
papy contractors, Pat Sheridan,
Janarlus McGahan, Judge oghan
anl others of Ohio's immorta!s
drove carts, or handled pick and
spade, an to ourporsonal knowledge,
TO the end of their days, always had
a good word and an earnest prayer
for "Boss Alex" After the war
which he passed with credit
and distinction, he engaged III
Journalism and politics, and for the
last twenty five years is the best,
most widely known influential pub
lie man in OHIO. 1t will be indeed
pleasant for the old citizens of Lo-i
gan. and Hooking to find that Alex, in
his ripened judgemcnt,w with a longer
list added to the calender of years,
as young in heart and hope and dis
position as when known first, has
come back to Logan to live.
Intte councils of the chiefs he may
be more commanding, in the affairs
of state and national concern he may
be bigger than he is here; there are
and associations where
he may be more tiattered and court
ed. but there is no place in all the
wide world IN which he is known
where he has truer friends, more
sincere admirers, and warmer well
coming companions, than III our
own good, old Logan town.
His public spirit, his goG' sense,
will be an aid to Logan il many
ways and his residency in ou~ town
will make our Queen City the Mecca
toward which many disturbed
political pilgrim may be expected to
turn his anxrous eyes, and direct his
eager footsteps.
The SENTINEL, with the many
friends of Col Sands, greets him vel !
come TO our business and social cir !
cles and bespeak for him success in
his business and peaceful happy |
home to the end of his days.
