Mr.. Conklin will occupy his N. Pra-
irie residence this winter.
Mr.. Bean and family will spend the
winter months in our midst.
Mr.. and Mrs. }. C. Gard have moved
into their new residence, which is a
credit to the town. Our friend finds
recreation in removing the weeds
which have on some lots become an
|eyesore.
Apropos of weeds, rumor has it
that Beebe is hoping that those he has
protected during the season north of
the barn will ultimately be suitable
for fence posts.
"Jim" Scofeld's vast acreage and
|stupendous crops were reviewed in last
weeks issue, but the fact was omitted
that the best yields were obtained
from his holdings in close proximity
Ito Logan. There's reason.
Miss Maud Ross and Mr.. Elmer
Ross entertained party of friends on
Monday night to celebrate the ami
versary of their arrival on this suburb
of Paradise. A merry gathering and

Miss Myers Of Kenmare is enjoying
la pleasant visit with her sister, Mrs.
Ralph Gard.
We understand that Mr.. Tabler,
who is advertising sale for Oct. 8,
intends building in one of the pref
test locations north of the red bridge.
Chris Saugstad, who is relinquish-
ing farming, contemplates venturing
in the restaurant business.
Jim Egan is erecting commod-
|ious residence which when completed
will prove quite an improvement to
that section of town.
Be it remembered that Mrs. Hunt is
tending to the fair sex in her beauty
parlor at the Millinery store of Marie
Olson, Waverly block.
DR.. Darland, somewhat disguised
meath weird bandages was visitor
on Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Robinson were
Logan visitors on the Sabbath.
F. J. Lyman, who has travelled
much of late, was also seen on Main
St. The price of our town lots has
not yet been advanced.
Mr.. Schoenburger, who represents
the 500 townsites in these parts has
been doing quite business recently,
in this locality.
The Cozy Cafe on Main street is the
haunt of the elite from the Magic
City these balmy autumnal evenings.
We have not yet been informed who
are to be the presiding officers for the
local literary society this fall, but the
season is fast approaching.
Mr.. A. C. Nedrud, who has spent a
most enjoyable vacation in the land Of
the midnight sun, is expected to return
to the Magic City about the goth. He
is seeing Germany enroute.
Russell Gard, who has farmed sue
cessfully on an extensive scale, has de-
cided to seek less strenuous path to
fame. While we regret that he is
joining the ranks of retired farmers
we understand that he intends to re-
main resident of our growing town.
The Union Ladies' Aid held most
successful meeting at the home Of
Mrs. Mage Ross on N. Prairie. The
many members and their friends ac-
complished much good work and en-
joyed delightful, delicate and dainty
lunch, lastly served by, the Misses
Ross.
The roads leading to our town are
now in good shape and many are the
favorable comments visitors are wont
to bestow. But the gentry who jour-
ney on rubber wheels are selfish in
their belief that the improved high
way is for their indulgence in excess
sive and dangerous speed. Several
road hogs have troubled of late and
aroused strong feelings.
Ray Bates is good fellow in many
ways. His neither garments pleased
not his critical eye and in the absence
of local dry cleaner he undertook
to improve matters himself. But
that which should have been gasoline
was but the 10 per cent product which
should illumine our darkness. Result,
odoriferous anyway, but mildly OBJ
jectionable in many ways. Dry clean
ers looking for . good location take
note.
Logan as market centre is well
known, but our neighbors eastwards
were won't to accept her claims to pre-
eminence "cum grano Sails" Several
prominent business men from the
town that once was, passing last Mon
day through our thriving burg were
impressed by the spectacle of line
of wagons half mile in extent wait
ing 10 unload at the local elevator.
And the efficient staff of four men
were handling expeditiously each load
as it arrived. Till 10 p. m. from every
compass point the grain poured in.
Small wonder that our neighbors we're
dumbfounded for the rumble Of a
grain tank arouses memories of a.
that has fled to Logan.
