Bolden Brothers, who have farmed
successfully in this territory during
the past season, have taken up their
residence on University avenue. Logan
extends a welcome sincere to these
promising lads.
Logan has now two blacksmith
shops, each we'll equipped and under
is ready at all seasons to tackle any
job, large or small, and Harry Light,
who in some respects resembles the
village smith the poets fancy depicts,
awaits your commands.
Tasker entertained in royal manner
the Logan Dramatic club, on the occas-
ion of the memorable visit on Monday,
when the well-known drama, "The
Noble Outcast," was so successfully
produced. Mr.. Smith had made every
arrangement for the comfort and con-
venience of the visitors and the true
spirit of hospitality was exemplified
by Taskerites generally. Miss Hattie
Smith, in charge of the catering de-
partment, proved truly capable and
pleasing hostess, and the visitors ex-
tend to this good lady and Mrs. Bry-
ant, their sincere appreciation of their
efforts. Such visits assist wonderful
ly to better understanding between
neighbors, and Logan awaits the op-
portunity Of returning the kindly at
tentions they enjoyed.
CLANS" Ross, as he is familiarly
known to host Of friends, is at last
ready for business at the new premi-
ses adjoining theFirst State Bank.
A new and varied stock of groceries
will here be found, and a visit will
convince the most skeptical that Sears,
Roebuck should do no further bust
ness in our territory.
Jesse Giles, of Cosy Cafe fame, has
completed the alterations to his prem
Uses and now has a place of business
which is credit to our town.
Axel johnson was business visitor
on Wednesday and expressed consider
able establishment at the rapid growth
of Logan. Axel is humorous cuss
and should come oftener.
Mr.. T. H. Elarth, who represents S.
Prairie prosperity with big P, is
making many improvements to his al
ready fine farm. He had two teams
busy hauling lumber on Thursday,
from the local yard.
Logan extends to Mr.. and Mrs. Por-
ter and family a welcome sincere.
These good folks are locating on the
Wilman half section just east of town.
having arrived recently from Nebras-
ka with two carloads of effects. Mr..
Whitman has erected fine new resi-
dence and barn, and when the season
permits, will have the adjoining
grounds planted in accordance with
landscape artists opinion. Mr.. Por-
ter, who with his son-in-law, Mr..
Wheeler, have exhibited a rare dis
elimination in selecting Logan as their
future home, and we trust that pros
perity and happiness may attend them.
Apropos of the foregoing paragraph
what sad oversight on the part of
the "Bush-McBoodle" organization.
They must have a weak link in their
Nebraska comb. But Logan is just
beginning.
The long, lean, cadaverous, lank &C.
centricity that has offered food for
comment for many moons, charitable,
but principally otherwise, was permit
ted by a parental government, after
six years study of citizenship, to cast
a vote. Ten able bodied, apparently
intelligent male of the species Amer
lean, under the close scrutiny and
guidance of just six, presumably more
intelligent, of the same gender and
species, took an active interest in Un-
Gle Sans future welfare. James J.
was tickled to think that the lean one
could exercise this privilege, that he
failed to extend his customary suave
congratulations and the lean one felt
sadly hurt.
Mr.. J. C. Gard, who already carries
large and varied stock of dry goods
and groceries, is seriously considering
the enlargement of the store premises.
Progress is the watchword hereabouts.
Mr.. H. C. Kuchenbecker has pur-
chased the old Hecker quarter north
of Logan and now owns a fine farm
each side of town. Shaw of Logan
handled this.
Harry Cook is now braking for
James J. We would rather have him
in Logan but wish him success.
and all the good family of Stredwicks,
were the first flood victims in this
vicinity, being compelled to move out
in hurry Tuesday.
Logan is to have a depot agent in
the near future, Jack Brady and Tom
Hecker having persuaded the honor
able board of railroad commissioners
that the need was real. Watch Logan
grow.
Sherman Thompson left on Friday
last for Montana, and intends, should
he find a suitable location, to home
stead there.
Will Forbes was the guest Of Mr..
w. S. Smith of Tasker several days
this week.
Mr.. Oversee, the courteous cashier
of the First State Bank, reports rap
idly growing business at the new in
stitution. Julian has made many
friends since his arrival in the town
