Old timers especially and host
of other friends will regret to learn
that John Deegan has been sadly un.
der the weather of late. Trouble
which was ascribed to teeth has caus-
ed considerable suffering and medi-
cal attention became necessary. He
is now progressing favorably under
the care of DR.. Newlove.
T.! Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont Cook were
the guests of Mark Francis on
Thanksgiving day.
The Farmers Elevator has been
busy from early morn till very late
at night seven times each week for
quite long spell. Friend Kuchen-
becker has surely handled some fax
this fall, and much of it is being
hauled quite an additional mile or so
to obtain the benefits which the Lo-
gan market undoubtedly offers.
The vexed question Of fences and
right of way still occupies the atten-
ton of those in the neighborhood of
Hecker. The chicken specialist is
the latest victim, he awaking one cold
and frosty morn to find that in the
dark hours good neighbor had
dug deep down in a frozen slough
and erected a few yet sufficient posts
to cause both inconvenience and an
noyance. But perchance this will but
result in the opening of another road.
Thorwald Mostad's threshing rig is
again in full swing and merry crew
are now busy churning out flax on the
Aurland farm. The Saugstad boys
are doing the hauling.
Fred Willman's gasoline outfit has
been doing good work and the crew
expect to be busy till away into 1912.
Bob Rowan was visiting old friends
on Sunday last.
Herb Packard who left about two
weeks ago on a hunting trip in the
neighborhood of Williston, reports
most enjoyable and highly success
full outing. We knew that Herb was
an adept at Dear stalking, but he
has had apparently equally good for
tune in bagging the fleet footed spe-
cfes.
Among the elite of Minot who ap-
preciate the picturesque we have not
ed Mesdames Robinson, Barron, Dell |
and Whitman visiting us recently.
Logan affords many charming bunga-
low sites and next year should wit |
ness the erection of several summer
residences.
Congratulations though late, q
due to Mr.. and Mrs. Sid Stradwick.
A sweet little cherub, Of feminine per-
suasion, arrived recently to add to |
their happiness.
Mrs. Cook Sr. was the guest OF
Mrs. J. c. Gard on Thanksgiving
day.
Our local merchants Messrs. Beeoe
and Gard, have each a fine selection
of fall goods and carry a stock of
groceries which should meet the re-
quirements Of the most exacting. |
Jesse Giles is a busy man at the To-
gan Restaurant, and Judging from the |
number of visitors from a distance
who make Logan their trading cen
ter, it is not to be wondered at, that |
a little town east Of us can support !
There's a reason.
The new school building is nearing
completion and the contractor. Mr..
cd Woods, deserves credit for fine
piece Of work which will add consid
erably to the appearance of our town.
Grandma and Miss Annie Waldref
entertained quite family party for
Thanksgiving. The old lady still,
takes keen interest in all that af-
fects the welfare of neighbors and
the district generally.
On Thursday last, Ed. Saugstad
journeyed to the N. Prairie on pleas !
ure bent, and escorted a fair young
school ma'am to visit Uncle Joe. Blu:
why, oh why did You leave the maid
and take home Ma Ed. The buggy
would hold three.
Mrs. Howard and Haney and infant
son left for Kincorth, Sask., on Tues
day last to join her husband who
with her brother, Mr.. Allen Forbes,
is demonstrating there.
By the way we understand that .
popular N. Prairie young lady, promi-
nent as ballplayer, recently received |
a communication from Allan telling of
his non success in the biscuit bak-
ing line. Now methinks this may
arouse quite sympathetic feeling
