NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
convention Notes From Logan.
MABEL H. poMERoY, EDITOR

The people Of Logan entertained
the visiting delegates and members OF
the association and quests in very
hospitable manner, but every body
knows the generosity OF the Logan
people, and they made the county
convention thorough and complete
success. Among some Of the very
pleasant acquaintance we met were,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Covel and
Mrs. Wiltrout. W. A. Reeder the
president, made an efficient Officer
and has the ability to keep every
thing stirred up and interesting, no
dragging or falling behind time with
him.
The talk on Normal Drill by the
State Secretary John H. Engle, put
a few new ideas in circulation, and we
think il the study was taken up it
would prove benefit to our Sunday
Schools, and would be a source OF
pleasure to the older ones as we'll as
the younger.
Mrs. BdgeCombe makes the most
efficient and active secretary that has
ever been put on as an officer of any
association, and the association recog-
nizes and appreciates her ability by
re.electing her.

One Of the breeziest and newsiest
stock papers on exchange, ls the
Panhandle Champion edited by Mr.
and Mrs. Brooks, when the editor is
away Mrs Brooks edits the paper,
when both are away the daughter
gets out the paper to suit herself.
OF all the ladies who have instruct
ed the public in the art Of cooking in
recent times, Marion Harland, who in
private life is Mrs. E. p. Terhune, has
probably had the greatest financial re-
turns. Her cookbook has sold to the
extent Of over two hundred and fifty
thousand copies and been more popu.
lar than her novels. Her daughter,
too, when left widow few years
ago, found that knowledge OF cook
ing was a talismsn Of success in New
York woman's-page journalism.

THE BIRTH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
The first national republican con.
vention ever held in the United States
was held in the city of Pittsburg on
the 22d and 23d days Of February,
1855. The call for this convention
was signed by the wing governors Of
some half dozen states, and Massa-
Chusetts, New York, Ohio, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey,
Indiana, Maryland and Wisconsin
were represented by wings, free soil
democrats, boliSlonists, Americans, and
the peoples party, to the number Of
more than one hundred, who came TO-
gether for the purpose Of organizing
a national republican party.
The state of New York was repre-,
sented by Horace Greedy, Governor
John A. King, Simeon Draper, Pres
ton King, Philip Dorsheimer, K. D.
Morgan, A. M. Clapp and others, not
one of whom is now living except A.
M. Clapp. Maryland was represent
ed by Francis P. Blair, sr., it being
the first public stand which he had
taken as anything but q democrat
during a long lifetime. The Hon.
Lewis Olephsne, who Is still living,
represented the District of Columbia,
and was very active in the work Of
organization. When scarcely nine
months old the republican orgsniza-
ton fought its first battle with the
gallent Gen. John O. Fremont as its
captain. He carried the state of New
York by majority of $4,000, and the
free states IS whole by 114858
plurality, but was overwhelmed IN the
slave state by plurality OF 525,820.

PARENTS SHOULD HAVE A HIND IN TEACH
ING TFE CHILDREN
There are few parents who do not
have knowledge that would be helpful
to the boy or girl some time. Many
parents have not the time to give a
stated hour daily to this work, though
many who think this is so in their
case could plan for this time. Yet,
where impossible or very inconven-
lent much can be done while at
other duties.
Not only will the child be receiving
instruction from the best, because the
most interested and loved instructor,
