Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Shaw were the
guests of Mrs. James Egan on We'd
nesday. Mrs. Egan and Miss Mary
Egan will probably feed the hungry
this fall on we'll equipped threshing
outfit, but at present have not decided
with whom. An opportunity to secure
two real good cooks awaits an up-to-
date thresherman.
Rev. Rood, Congregational minis
ter, conducted service last Sabbath
day at the High school. A goodly con-
gregation, an interesting and instruc-
tive discourse marked the occasion.
On Sunday, Aug. g, at 2:SO Mr..
Earl Pounds will preach at the school.
A cordial invitation is extended to
you, by you to be extended, and all
should endeavor to give ear unto the
word; there and then.
Sawyer, which is also on the 500, is
unfortunate in that the town should
be located nigh unto a real live COM
munity. We understand that an ele-
vator has been sold and will be re-
moved from the old location. With a
bumper crop in sight, we had hoped
Sawyer might "come back" but even
the local poet, we fear, cannot avert
the inevitable. 1872
Logan is developing rapidly, even
eastern critics will confess. An annex
is in course of construction, to the
Farmers Elevator, capacity $4,000
bushels. A large force of carpenters
are working overtime to ensure COM
pletion to handle the early grain. The
business of the Logan elevator has
increased persistently with a rapidity
which alone can be accounted for by
the genial and popular Kuchenbeck-
er's untiring efforts to give to pat
rons, satisfaction. To our town, to
the community generally, the bust
ness H. C. K. handles at the elevator,
means much, if we pause to reflect,
and the spirit of local pride which
discourages unfair criticism of home
effort, is exemplified in the growth and
development Of Logan, as compared
with our neighbors, who recognize
not the truth of the old adage, Unity
is Strength. We take pardonable
pride in the growth of Logan and we
are also DESTROYS of giving honor
where honor is due, and H. C. Kuchen-
becker, while perhaps not the only
grain buyer, is, as Logan demands,
one Of the best, from the farmers
viewpoint. s5
We have endeavored for several
weeks to spare the feelings of our
Burlington friends. Truth is not al
ways pleasant, and while Nature bal
ances in measure, her favors, from an
agricultural standard Logan has been
lavishly endowed. Coal, rather than
good soil, may be Burlington's partic-
ular legacy, but it is amusing to note
the efforts of their resourceful scribe
to bask in the reflection of those
glories which have so long illuminated
Logan. Alfalfa and corn is here pro-
duced to perfection; cattle, be they
Holstein, Shorthorn or Jersey, typical,
and of the best; hogs of state wide rep
utationthat makes advertising and
periodical boosting unnecessary; gar
den truck which has earned for Lo-
ganites the titles Of Cabbage King,
Potato Potentate, and Onion Oracle,
the envy Of our less favored brothers
but the. pride Of Logan. And for
these blessings we are dependent upon
a superior soil; our scenery is all we
have ever suggested, yet we are will
ing to admit that Burlington's coal is
essential to all. But Logan, her peo-
pie and her products are unexcelled,
even by Burlington and bunkum.
