south bound trains Wednesday
evening, and goodly crowd of
about 200 came to Logan for the
picnic and Reunion of today at
Rempel's Grove. They were ac-
companied by the Sugar Grove
band.
Unfortunately the weather man
has kindly let the gentle rain fall
in unbroken stream this morning
and it looks very gloomy for the
picnic. The local committee here
were expecting 400 "comers" but
the railroad misunderstanding
seemed to muddle the matter and
not so many came as was expected.
However Logan extends royal
greeting to our kindly friends and
visitors, and will try to show them
a good time even if the weather is
inclement.

Ye Poor Editor.

If an editor makes mistake, he
has to apologize for it, but if a
doctor makes one he buries it, If
the editor makes one, there is Il
lawsuit, swearing and the smell of
sulphur, but if the doctor makes
one, there is funeral cut flowers
and the smell of varnish. a doc
tor can use word a yard long
without knowing what it means,
but if the editor uses one he has to
spell it. If a doctor goes to see
another mans wife, he charges for
the visit, but If an editor goes to
see another mans wife he gets a
charge of buckshot. When doc
tor gets drunk, it's case of Cover
come by heat" if he dies, it is
heart trouble. When the editor
gets drunk, it's case of too much
booze, and if he dies, it's case of
delerium tremens. Any old college
can make a doctor. You can't
make an editor; he has to be born.
