there, and there is no doubt that he will
soon be on his feet again, financially,

people in Logan county state that it was
Mr.. Dwyer's dislike to say "pay' to re-

county: "Mrs. Dwycr has worked hard
with head and hands to help her husband,

family is the Dwyers."
The writer paid pleasant visit to the
Residence 'of MI. Bryant. The pioneer
newspaper man of Logan, who lives on
his farm near town. Mr.. and Mrs. Bry

fists of wrathful in-horn politicians-and

The 500 road runs across the editors
land, and every morning he is awakened
by the shrill scream of the locomotive as
itpuffs and pants toward the Napoleon
depot. That is, he will be, some Of these
days. And the time will come when the
pioneer editor, with his grandchildren or
his grcat-grandchlldren playing at his
knee, can sit at his window and watch
the 500 tracklayers at work.

given to the capital of our sister county
because the citizens thereof, when they go
IN any direction except toward Billsport
must of necessity cross the Alps The
country around Napoleon is mostly level,

county has wealth of hay, and her stock
interest will undoubtedly take the lead.
The writer was shown hay meadows that

All lie would ask was ten dollars for
