Ezra Nulph who has recently M
vested in town property, moved
in the old John Ho We residence
and will make Logan his head
quarters. Ezra is negotiating
for the blacksmith shop and has
evidently a notion of getting in
on the ground floor. He shares
our belief in the future that Lo-
gan will afford the enterprising.
Sid Stredwick and Bert Wilson
who handled the contract to move
Nulph's building, did a fine pit ce
of work, considering the severity
of the weather. If they didn't
make much money that gained a
rare lot of experience.
Owing to the cold spell, no
steps have Yet been taken with
regard to the laying out of a new
road in the immediate neighbour
hood of the much-advertised d.
versified farm. This, when open,
will be a convenience to many.
A facetious son of Norway;
whose interest in his souls well
fare presumably prompted a reg
ular attendance at the revival
meetings, apparently failed hope
less]y to penetrate the darkness
which enshrouds his spiritual
outlook Being unable to per-
ceive the light, he deemed ic con-
sistent with decent behavior, to
continually play with a cheap
electric pocket lamp during the
service, causing considerable an.
noyance to many of those pres
ent. 1t is difficult for some peo-
pie to adapt themselves to strange
surroundings, but his friends
should explain to him how to be-
have when next they take him to
a religious service.
Mr.. o. Saugstad had the mis-
fortune to lose a valuable gray
lmare as aresult of a bad wire cut.

Our old time friend John Dee
gan who recently returned from
Rochester. is progressing as "a
vorably as can be expected. The
operation, though not entirely
successful, has afforded John
considerable relief and he will be
pleased to meet old acquaintance
when in town at the Windsor.
The regular bi-weekly meeting
of the Presbyterian Ladies' Aid
was held at the home Of Mrs.
Robt. Waldref. Despite the
thermometer registered round
about 40 below, quite a number
of good ladies assembled, did
much sewing, no gossiping and
did justice to a dainty yet salts
flying lunch.
While we regret the misfortune
which has befallen one of ou1
residents in losing his only team,
we trust that others who are also
in the habit of leaving horses
tied to a hitching post for 5 or 6
hours in such weather as we have
recently experienced unblanket-
ed, when in poor condition will
take warning by his loss. Snow
balls and wind will not sustain
even q horses life.
Theattendance at Logan school
has greatly exceeded expecta-
tions. The school undoubtedly
meets the requirements of the
district and will in the near fu-
ture receive the support of all
residents in the locality. Unity
is strength.
