Show THE LOGAN LEADER, Logan City, November 27, 1879. <br><br> LOCAL LINES. November 27. Thanksgiving Day. REMEMBER the poor people. EVERYBODY should return thanks. <br><br> READ the notice of the Logan Rifle Club. <br><br> COAL famine here as well as in Salt Lake and Odgen. <br><br> MORE amusements in Logan lately than for months past. <br><br> PEOPLE are kept very busy predicting changes of the weather. <br><br> RICHMOND'S best crop-children. If you don't believe it see birth notice. <br><br> HIGHEST price paid in cash for wheat at Union Mills. oct30 5t <br><br> THE FOG has disappeared; and now the sun rules the day, and the moon, the night. <br><br> EVERY morning there is such a heavy frost upon the ground that sleighing would not be difficult. <br><br> JUDGE A. F. FARR, of Ogden, was in Logan on Saturday. He was looking well and hearty as ever. <br><br> JOS. A. WEST, Esq., Business Manager of the Junction Printing Association, was in Logan yesterday. <br><br> WHO has a house to rent? The answer to this question will be gratefully received at the Leader office. <br><br> "WHAT will de hair vest be?" as the colored man said to the tailor who had been making him a waist-coat of raccoon skins. <br><br> LOGAN has this month had the biggest and heaviest spell of fog that ever visited the town, within the remembrance of the old. <br><br> YESTERDAY witnessed the "Slaughter of the Innocents" the massacre of thousands of turkeys. Today will see their total annihilation. <br><br> REMEMBER the Salt Lake Amateur Dramatic Company. They will soon be in Logan to give some of their popular performers. <br><br> PEOPLE having stock on the Logan Bottoms should bring them in, or make some provision for feeding them, as many young cattle are starving to death. <br><br> A PET grizzly bear, which had been kept for several weeks at the ?? ?? in Green canyon, escaped about a week ago, and has not since been seen. <br><br> AN OVERCOAT was recently lost between the north end of the depot and the residence of John B. Thatcher, Esq. The finder will confer a favor by leaving the article at Z. C. M. I. <br><br> ON MONDAY last a cow fell in one of the open trenches, which are waiting for the reception of the water pipes. At last accounts she was still there, not having succeeded in extricating herself. <br><br> Z. C. M. I., the post office, Goodwin's and Reed's, will be closed during the whole or a part of this day. Quite right. Every business housed in town should close its doors and give its employees a holiday. <br><br> JUST received at Ormsby's drugstore, the great remedies, Shiloh's Consumption Cure, System Vitalizer, Catarrh Remedy, and Belladonna Plaster; and the delightful perfume Hackmetack. nov20-lt <br><br> THE U. & N. R. R. [Utah & Northern Railway] pay car during the past week has been scattering wealth among its employees, and they in turn have been distributing the lucre among merchants and mechanics, until everybody has been made happy. <br><br> IN ANOTHER column will be found an advertisement from G. F. Culmer, of Salt Lake, in relation to Culmer's Enamel Paint. Builders, home painters, and others should give this article an earnest trial, as it is said to possess unusual merits. <br><br> THE U. AND N. R. R. is booming, notwithstanding the cold weather, and the heavy snows between here and the terminus. With the energetic management on the part of the superintendent and the employees the road is becoming prosperous as well as a great benefit to the people of the north. <br><br> PHIL. MARGETTS desires to announce to the public that he is in no way connected with the troupe now traveling in this valley under the name of the Salt Lake Amateur Dramatic Company. Phil's company is called "Phil. Margetts' Star Combination" and will be here near the last of this month. <br><br> ONE OF the Logan dandies inadvertently used some melted sugar instead of water to wet his hair on Sunday evening. Shortly after, he started to see his girl and the crisp night air froze his curly red locks into most artistic shapes. He has since had reason to complain bitterly of the careless sister who left the tin cup full of syrup in the sink. <br><br> THE STREETS for some time past have been, in many places, covered with ice; and numerous little episodes of a painful or amusing nature have resulted therefrom. Many people have involuntarily lost their standing in society and their upright position in the world, to assume ridiculous and undignified postures in slippery places. <br><br> EVERYBODY wants to go skating, but no one can tell where a really large, smooth sheet of congealed water is to be found, within a reasonable distance from Logan. Would it not be a good idea for some one having a piece of vacant, low pasture land, to flood the same; and then after ice of sufficient thickness had been formed, to admit the public, for a small entrance fee. <br><br> IN THE account of "A Conference at Marsh Valley" published in our last issue, there were two errors: Instead of reading "W. H. Makeley, president of the Elders." It should have been W. H. Wakeley; and instead of "David Pees Davis, presiding Teacher and president of the High Priests," it should have been David Rees Davis, presiding Teacher over the members of the High Priests. <br><br> THE LOGAN belles are sensible as well as beautiful creatures. They believe in combining the useful with the ornamental and turning every little circumstance to account. It is said by those who know that many of the girls require that their visiting sweethearts -- who come as often as seven times a week, shall keep the wood box supplied with fuel, assist in the ironing, dish-washing, and in peeling the potatoes for the next morning's breakfast. The boys don't object. They find it the easiest thing in the world to attend to all such little duties for some other fellow's steady. |
