Mr.. and Mrs. j. I. Brady and Mr..
and Mrs. Russell Gard were among
Logan folks who journeyed to Sawyer
lon Saturday to enjoy the classical
music the Howard Quintet rendered.
Railroad facilities were even worse
than usual and the hospitality of the
the good people Of the sad town was
appreciated.
Herman Kuchenbecker looks ten
years younger than week. On Tues
day Mrs. H. c., who has been long
absent, enjoying the gaiety of the
Twin Cities and the congenial atmos-
phere inseperable from host Of old
acquaintance, relatives and new
friends, returned to share his joys and
sorrows. Scriptures suggest it is not
good for man to live alone, and when
once blessed with a helpmeet who pam
ders to our needs, epicurean and other,
we have yet to meet the brute who
wants to.
Miss Alta Nulph, who for many
moons has been resident Sawyerways,
paid brief visit to the folks on Mon
day.
Myers & Brady have been busy dur
ing the week, invoicing and incident
ally approaching the immense turn
over they have enjoyed since embrac-
ing the mercantile profession. A live
loctl store, handling a comprehensive
stock means much to the home town
and naturally commands patronage.
We are glad to learn that Mrs. L..
McCutcheon, who has been seriously
indisposed of late, is now convalescent
and progressing favorably.
Mr.. B. Norrell, the courteous 500
line representative at this point, found
his services in urgent demand at Fox
holm one day last week, the accumu-
lated business calling for additional
and efficient help. He however lost
no time in returning to good town.
We understand that the advent of
spring will witness the erection of
Presbyterian church on Forest street.
The need Of such a building has long
been felt by many, and the community
generally will be afforded ample OPP
portunity of furthering the good work
by donating freely of their labor and
wealth.
Mr.. F. E. Cook of Oak Grove, whose
Holsteins have brought fame to Logan,
contemplates the erection of modern
dwelling on his model farm just west
of town. Fremont has labored long
and intelligently and is now preparing
to take solid comfort as his reward.
Clayton Pearson, who recently COM
pleted the erection of handsome gun
galow on Main street, has again given
evidence of his faith in the future Of
Logan by purchasing at fancy figure
the lot adjoining the town hall.
The need Of a garage is emphasized
week by week and rumor suggests that
an enterrrising resident of North Prai
RE has cast his business optic Logan
ways and may locate.
This is Appreciation Week in Logan
as elsewhere. AS community, even as
individuals, we can find much to APP
preciate. That we are situated but
ten miles from town destined to be
the leading city in North Dakota, that
we are conferred in the midst of the
most fertile fields Ward county boasts,
that the production of all grains, al
falfa, corn, potatoes, vegetables, and
fruit is above the average, that we en-
joy perpetual sunshine, the everlast-
ing charm of nature in her most pic
turesque and fascinating garb, the
stately timber, and the murmuring
brook, the hills towering in thenr
grandeur over valley teeming with
scenic beauty, rejecting placid spirit
Of contentment that is born of per-
feet environment, people by those
whose ideals are lofty, whose hospi-
tally is far-famed, suggests forcbly
why as community, and as individu-
ais, we embrace this opportunity Of
giving sincere expression to the spirit
of appreciation, which animates each
and every one of us at all seasons.
| M. A. Wetmore of N. Prairie, was a
business visitor on Tuesday. Art is
transferring his affections to Deering
next spring, but eventually he will
wander back.
| At this season the morning train,
which is scheduled to leave Minot at
1915, is beautifully erratic in it's OBJ
servance of the company's publish, d
intentions. Occasionally the Sun is
high in the heavens ere it's wheezy
whistle disturbs the stiffness Of the
morning air, and incidentally, the up
per ten Of Logan. The smoke of the
hard coal aristocracy is wont to van
der heavenwards, when the odor of
dinner should pollute the atmosphere,
| and what happens on the days when
the dinkey runs not, we care not to
