grounds, adjoining the river east OF
our town, were placed at the disposal
of the Sunday school association for
their picnic on Wednesday. A pref
tier or happier gathering 'twould be
hard to picture, and the folks, young
and old alike, gave themselves up, to
the full enjoyment Of a perfect day
midst Natures beauties. Many visit

sistently boosted Logan and all that

Of your home town speak proudly,
of your neighbors, kindly; of yourself,
