up for, the picnic donigs at Logan on
June 23rd.
The youngest son Of Mr.. Abraham
son of North Prairie is, we regret to
hear, seriously ill with an acute at
tack of pneumonia. The good wishes
of the community for speedy recov-
cry are his.
The Surrey Band represents, with
out exception, the finest combination
of trained musicians Ward county
boasts. The boys have for many sea-
sons practiced assiduously and under
the able direction of a master mind,
have developed an organization of
which Surrey is justly proud. They
will be at Logan picnic on June 23rd.
Mr.. Halvor Halvorson, who while
President of the City Commission in
Minot displayed an executive ability
of high order, will on Tuesday next
deliver an address at Logan picnic.
Mr.. Gregg Riley, a S. Prairie farm
er who has attained success with a
big 49," and recently invested in Lo-
Igan town property, was visitor on
Sunday. He expects to erect mod
ern residence on University avenue
this fall.
Alfred Mostad, Vernice Packard
and Ralph Gard were among the local
musicians who gave Of their services
at Surrey on Monday night. The
High School was the meeting place of
the countryside and we are informed
that all Surrey will be at the Logan
picnic on Tuesday, June 23rd.
! Mrs. Anna Beebe, our popular post
mistress, who for the past month has
been enjoying a vacation among rel
atives at Humboldt, Iowa, will re-
turn to Logan this week end so as to
be present at the picnic of June 23rd.
Beebe's giraffe has gormandised on
grass and is not now so amenable to
Bert's discipline as heretofore. Head
ed for Sawyer to witness a ball game,
the lam going to" Irishman, who be-
lieves not in the cultivation Of stat
ers," spoke kindly to the long necked
eccentricity, but in vain, and as
means of travel, the creature is de-
clared a fraud. But the freak will be
on view, free, at Logan picnic on
Tuesday. il, &s
Will Humphrey of Timber Edge
Farm, Logan, who specializes in
Shropshire sheep and hogs, among
other things, deserves credit for the
improvements effected this spring in
the appearance of the home grounds.
The residence, beautifully situated in
one of the most sheltered locations
along the valley, has been modernized
and tastefully decorated both inside
and out, and new driveway has
been completed from the main road.
The farm is now fenced throughout
with woven wire, both ornamental and
serviceable, and a general air of pros
perity surrounds the home of the in
dustrious Will. The Latter Day Saints
convention assemblies at Tilton Park
adjoining, on June 10Th, so our good
friend will probably be unable to at
tend Logan picnic on Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Gard were
Sawyer visitors recently, enjoying the
hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Brasett.
The L. D. S. convention, at Tilton
Park, will remain in session for ten
days and a cordial welcome is extend
ed all to attend the services and
camp.
The Good Samaritan Aid will be en-
tertained by Mrs. Shaw at the High
School on Thursday, June 25th..
The Logan ball team, or few
thereof, journeyed to Norwich on Fri
day and were defeated. The boys
have now decided to get busy and
make the most Of themselves and Ne
believe that at Logan picnic on Tues.
day they will give an exhibition Of
the national game which will prove
an eye opener to the critics.
Mr.. Light, our village blacksmith,
is doing good work and plenty Of It.
Don't lose time and money going to
some distant town when your trading
centre has live, capable smith
Mr.. and Mrs. Earle Stredwick were
the guests Of Mrs. James Egan Of
University avenue on Sunday. Jim
and Earle are collaborating in the pro-
duction Of barley but like Chris Saug-
stad, will be through seeding in time
to attend Logan picnic on Tuesday.
A pleasant surprise was afforded
Will Forbes last Thursday evening to
mark the anniversary Of his advent
into this land Of jow and sorrow.
iNeighbors and friends from far and
near extended congratulations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bergeson, Mr.. and
