Show B ' THEIR DUE. H It is now a generally known fact M that Capt. II. D. Stycr and his cstlm- j able family u 111 leave Logan in a com- m i paratlvcly short time will leave to H return no more, except perhaps to I visit friends. As the tlmo of parting B draws near, many sincere regrets and j kindly words of love and esteem arc H heard from those who have come in H contact with, the ijenlal, wholo-soulod H Captain and his no less sociable and H .altogether charming wife. Their de- K iparturc means a distinct social loss to the CDlIego and city, as well as a misfortune mis-fortune to tho war department of tho A. C. of U.. and we cati not but feel that a public expression of these facts at this time Is entirely fitting. Capt. Stysr came to the A. C. In the early OO's and remained for four years, or until he was called to present himself him-self as a target for Moro bullets. Following Fol-lowing distinguished service In the Philippines and his return to the U. S., Capt. Stycr was again detailed to handle tho war department of the A. O. of U., and has been hero evei since, a total of about seven years In Logan. During that time Capt. Stycr put real military dispositions Into the farmer cadets at the college, proving of Inestimable In-estimable service In a hundred ways notdctallablc here. Ho Joined with tho boys in efforts for their real betterment bet-terment and that ho succeeded has ever been manifest in the unbounded appreciation and admiration of the boys he drilled. At tho college he lias been appreciated appre-ciated not only by the cadets but by tho President and entire faculty, and as a social factor there and In tho city Mr. and Mrs. Stycr have had no peers. Though from West Point, where a great deal of military snobbishness is supposed to originate, Capt. Stycr proved himself genial, sociable, a gentleman In very sense of tho word, and ono with so many pleasing graces that ho won his way easily and has continued to grow In tho esteem of all. His cstimablo wife, a lady of culture and refinement, gracious In demeanor, ono of natural social instincts, in-stincts, has not been less acceptable, the two making a place for themselves that can scarco beilllcd by others. Tub Rbi'uiimcan happens to know, also, that many outside of Logan's fashionable fashion-able circles have been recipients of marked klnJilncss from tho Stycrs, and that theso truly good people have not dono all their works that the world might sec. Rut theso things it may bo well to only mention, for among tho many excellent qualities that have made the Stycrs most appreciated ap-preciated that of modesty is not tho least. Sutllce It to say that in their going, the very best wishes of a largo circle of friends go with them wherever duty calls, and that in Logan hearts will forever dwell tho kindliest remembrance, re-membrance, and a hearty welcome should a kindly Providence direct their step Cachoward again. Capt. St) cr will Icavo In a short time, detailed de-tailed for summer encampment work, and 'tis said that beforo a great while ho will have attained to a "major-allty." "major-allty." All of this means that his futuro must be spent elsewhere than in this valley. Mrs. Stycr will probably prob-ably not go for two or three months yet, her mother, Mrs. Wilkes oelng 111 lure at this time. " 0 |
