and if the large and increasing at
tendance of each succeeding day of
the past week can be taken as u
criterion the venture has in our
opinion proven Il success far and be-
yond the expectations of its promo
ton. Thousands of rare relics of
I'VE olden time" are here displayed
that we of the present may ponder
DER curious rare and unique from
our foreign shores, relics from tho
Mound builders which the aacheoli-
gist may study at his leisure, geoloG-
ical specimens, beautiful shells Of
different descriptions.
The Logan schools have an elegant
exhibit which to us poor ignorant
mortals is Il source of wonder and
admiration.
The Exhibition Hail during the
evenings is crowded with the towns
people while during the day our pro-
gressive neighbors, the farmers, their
wives and daughters find time to
drop in and spend a pleasant hour
inspecting the old, rare and curious
of ancient times while at the same
time they can compare these relics
with the beautiful things made and
manufactured during the present

Jimmy Hannefy, Dead.

We were much panied to hear c!
our old and esteemed friend Jimmy
Hannefy passing away. He has
spent many years in his little home
near the falls Of the Hooking west
Of Logan, and become closely allied
with the welcome and pleasure of
this resort. He was for years in
the employ of the state in attend
ing and keeping In repair the canal
locks, but Of late years engaged In
little farming and fishing, sulli.
cient to bear him along in peaceful
life. 1t was pleasure for the
young people of town to stroll by
the cooling falls in summer, and
sitting on the rocks to listen to the
stories Of good Jimmy of the early
times in the Hooking Valley. Ere.
Quently he would call at our office,
and we enjoyed much his kindly
calls and pleasant chat. Mr.. Han
nefy WAS good man. No n0bler
heart has ever ceased to beat in our
community. He was always ready
to divide his sometimes narrow
raiment, with those more needy
than himself. 1t IS with regret in
deed that community must suffer
the passing away of pleasant com
panion', bat complaisant in the
memories Of kindly deeds. The
remains of Mr.. Hannefy were ship
ped to Logansport, Ind, to the
home of his nearest relative for
burial.
