Logan. Ohio, May 81. 1907.

took short scout through Greer
township last Thursday and Fri
day and received the usual en-
couragement. left Logan
little before six o'clock a. m ant
struck east until / reached the In
firmary road, when | turned il
that direction. / got as fer a:
the Floyd crossing and of course
found no bridge, 80 | had to hike
up the bottom to No. railr,. &C
bridge On my way up l met Mr..
Nick Tignor and son and Isaac
Frasuie, and was considerably en-
corraged by receiving two big,
bright dollars and l placed their
names on the list. When | got
to No. 2 bridge looked over in
the Bates bottom and saw Riley
Wine fertilizing for corn. Riley 3
name is on the list. Of course
felt pretty good, meeting three
heads of families and getting
three new subscribers.
l continued along the railroad
until again struck the Infrmary,
or Union Furnace road, following
it until L struck road leading up
and along Greasy Ridge, which [
followed with fair success. That
Greasy Ridge hill is long and
steep and | was not only tired but
awful hungry. Fortunately / met
an old time subscriber, John Wy
skiver. He'd been reading about
me and knew just what to expect.
OF course he asked me t. dinner
and | accepted. He slipped
back in the room and told his
wife, no doubt cautioning her not
to appear the least surprised if, in
my hurry in putting down the
ham and eggs, | might accidently
swallow cup and saucer. But
fortunately nothing of this kind
occurred as Mrs. Wysk..ver had an
abundance and lots to spare, and
/ just want to say l annoyed it
very much.
After dinner | took along the
ridge out past Frank Pickets
down by Barrak Moore's toward
the Furnace, cutting across
meadow and down over the hill,
landing among half hundred
Oliver Dutfey's Brahma chickens
and creating considerable dis
turbance. One old rooster, about
two heads taller than myself,
drawed off and was just going to
spur me when the Victor Music
box started up the ''Rogue's
March," That chicken loved
music and / was so glad and
hungry OF course L stayed for
supper, stayed all night, had
breakfast and royal good time.
Oliver started the music as soon
as we got UP from the supper
table and kept it up until the
middle of the night, when We
were all compelled, in self de-
fense, to get some rest. Mr..
Dutfey has more than 200 records
embracing almost all the good.
things out. You will never know
how much | enjoyed myself unless
you spend night with Duffey
yourself.
The next morning took up
over the hill near j. Nj. Loomis'
place and cut along :he lidge un-
til | struck Nelsonville Route 2,
following the route for more than
two mile. AT early noon | reach
ed the home of Mr.. A. E. Wood
ard whore, of course, invited my
self to dinner, and of course, did
myself justice, and can't help but
think Mr.. Woodland an injustice.
1t WASN'T hardly fair to eat so
much but there was such plenty
and so we'll prepared that l
couldn't help myself. After
dinner spent very pleasant half
hour in social converse with Mr..
Woodland, and found him to be a
very pleasant and well informed
gentleman.
l started on my way TO the Fur
mace, reaching there about fifteen
minutes before train time, not
near enough to eat supper, and
necessarily got home hungry, to
the utter of dismay my wife,
but promised her I'd never do it
again. OLD 81.
