LOGAN MURMURS

The Latter Day Saints Aid were en-
tertained on Thursday by Mrs. Arthur
Bergeson, at her residence on St.
Marie avenue. Members and friends
from near and far enjoyed the charm
ing hospitality Of the popular hostess,
devoted time and attention seriously
to sewing, some few moments to bust
ness, none to gossip, but labored SO
assiduously to accomplish much, that
time wherewith to do justice to the
delectable luncheon, so daintily served,
was indeed all too brief, ere the hour
arrived when it became imperative
that the good DANES dispense to feed
their hungry and impatient better
halves.
Leicester Nulph met with a serious
accident on Saturday, falling in an ur-
accountable manner beneath wagon
heavily laden with coal. The load
passed diagonally across his chest, in
juring several ribs, one of which pune
tured lung A Minot specialist who
was hastily summoned, conveyed the
lad to hospital, and the latest re-
ports suggest satisfactory condition.
Fortune has not smiled of late on this
child, for but a few moons back he
suffered broken arm.
Clayton Pearson has received plans
and specifications for the new resi-
dence he has decided to build on Main
St. w. We understand the contract
is already let and building operations
will be at once commenced.
Tasker of late has awakened our
sorrow by strange silence. But we
cease to mourn, for the cause is now
apparent, and we rejoice with our
|neighbors. As the poet has decreed:
1.-TWO shall be born the whole wide
world apart
And bend each wondering step to
this one end,
That one day out of darkness they
shall meet
And read Lies meaning in each
others eyes,"
And poor Shiftawrinkle, beloved by
all, away in Indiana, had aroused a
palpitation, which explained the weird
effect the grooming of that hackneyed
ditty, entitled "When I Wore a Big
Red Rose" was apt to have on that
case-hardened old sinner. Too busy
to write, explained the silence, but
Logan proffers congratulations sin
cere.
Logan is to excel herself on the
night of October 18th, when dance
will be given at the new hall. An ex-
cellent opportunity for US all to get
together.
An excellent location for good
blacksmith shop is to be found in this
town. At present the work has to be
taken to Sawyer or the Heavenly
Sphere and there is more than suffic-
lent to justify man who knows the
trade and is blessed with little en-
ergy, to squat right here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert Hayes of Min
neapolis were the guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell Gard of Forest Drive.
Mr.. Hayes is prominently connected
with the automobile industry in the
Twin Cities and recently married Miss
Grace Jeffries, sister to the helpmeet
of the popular Russ. Logan is a
sweet spot in which to spend honey
moon.
Mr.. F.. E. Cook of Oak Grove Farm,
whose Holstein's enjoy national rep
utation, recently secured small but
select bunch of Shropshires. These
will make quite an addition to an al
ready fine bunch of stock.
Milton Wenner, one of the many
prosperous farmers who speak kindly
of Logan, has purchased from Mr.. M.
L. Hines we'll improved quarter east
of town. We are glad he has decided
to locate hereabouts, for prosperity
awaits those whose good judgment is
thus manifested
Roy Jones and John Hammer, who
are homesteading in the vicinity of
