Burlington has aspirations, yearns
in fact, to bask in the radiance Of that
sublime light which illumines the
highways and byways of the Heaven
ly Sphere. "Electric light for Bur-
lington with Logan still in the kero-
sene circuit" Thus it is written by
the imaginative pedagogue, whose po-
etc soul applauds the Sawyer darkey's
doggerel. Logan will be the first to
congratulate her western neighbo1
when the system is installed, but even
as Pat, on picket duty midst the mud
and turmoil of Europe croons softly

in the acquittal of Ray Bates, who

Saturday, January 80 at 8 p. m. at
Logan school and cordial invitation
is extended all.
The Good Samaritan Club were the
guests of Mrs. J. Murphy Of Riverside
avenue on Thursday. A goodly atten-
dance of members and friends made
possible the accomplishment of much
useful work. A dainty lunch was DEL
icately served.
Mr.. J. J. Brand, whose claim to the
titles of Potato and Cabbage King is
beyond question, achieved success by
conquest in the corn contest at the
great Fargo exhibition. With but four
exhibits he annexed two first prizes
and like number of second premiums.
Competition was exceedingly keen but
the superiority of Joe's product was
pronounced. N. w. Dent, Wisconsin

shortly at the High school. An ex-
cellent cast has been rehearsing stead
lily and there is every promise of pro-
nounced success.
The need of a hall is continually
felt and we understand an effort will
shortly be made to erect by co-opera-
tive effort, a building which will be
available for dances, entertainments,
lectures and other public meetings.
The difficulty of accommodating the
many who visit US, is one that should
be dealt with at an early date.

the fair with several exceptionally fine
samples of corn. The exhibits of birds
and live stock will in no sense reflect
Logan's prominence for the weather
is not such as would induce those who
have valuable specimens to risk them.
The date selected doubtless meets
with the approval of merchants, but
farmers generally, if consulted, would
be opposed to the choice of season
when the weather is usually remark
able for severity.
Sawyer's "poor" laureate, as Bur-
lington remarks, was responsible for
an effusion which tickled the fancy Of
those who envy our progress. Dreams

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Benson of S.

nue. on Sunday.
Mr.. Smith is providing a constant
supply Of coal at Logan and is meeting
a long felt want.
Curtice Cross and Russell Gard are
doing considerable business at the
feed mill recently established. They
have every convenience for handling
orders expeditiously.
Mr.. Mont Streeper spent several
days in our town attending to bust

FL. Whitman, of Plant rubber fame,

not yet definitely decided to quit black
