LOGAN. O.. October CT have just
received a dispatch announcing the death
of Henry George. The suddenness with
which the summons came Will make
more keen the sorrow which the public
generally will feel at the death OF so
great. so pure. and so brave man. BY
his own unaided genius he made his name
familiar to the reading public OF the
world Those who agreed with his theo-
ries found i'm him an ideal leader, while
those opposed to him admitted his ability
and moral courage. He was one of the
foremost thinkers Of the world. His
