enjoying vacation with the old folks
at the Hotel Metropole.
Lennie Horning, who has for the
past year been located in the Twin
Cities, is pleased to find himself once
again in North Dakota. He has taken
unto himself wife, since treking east
and Logan and vicinity extend to both
Mr.: and Mrs. Horning the wish sincere
that they may decide to remain with
us during the years that are to be.
The New Year dance at Sawyer was
a distinct success. Cards Apiece or
chestra was in attendance and through
every pulse the music stole, and held
communion with the soul; wrung from
the coyest breast the imprisoned sigh,
ano kindled rapture in the coolest eye.
We hear at intervals of the redemp-
ton of a particular soul here and
there, by which the rightful owner of
monkey-wrenches and other knick-
knacks becomes possessed of his own
by reason of an awakened conscience.
Carl Ross and Christ Saugstad should
investigate this form Of redress rath-

pitality of the popular hostess.
Mr.. Smith has decided to locate at

The Literary Society met not on
Saturday last, the schoolhouse being
occupied by the Nazarene Mission. A
vote of the congregation was taken,
we understand, on Thursday, when it
was decided to sidetrack the regular
meeting night Of the Literary. This
is the first instance in Logan among
the many denominations which have
visited during the winter seasons, and
in justice to Mr.. Earl Pounds it should
be stated that the responsibility is in
no sense his. Logan as community
is no better or no worse than the aver

pays are permitted, zealously, to en-
