A correspondent named “Baby Doll” from Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on January 19, 1923:

As we have begun writing, I suppose we had better not stop, so here goes.

Miss Ora Mullins is very ill at this writing.

Mrs. Baisden is also on sick list this week.

Singing school is still progressing nicely.

Harts has such a terrible rep. I’m sure some would reverse their opinion if they would just visit our singing school.

In my opinion, Harts Creek is as good or maybe better, than any place I know. Come on Harts Creeker, and help me cheer Harts.

Strawberry shortcake
Huckleberry pie,
V-I-C-T-O-R-Y,
Are we “It”?
I say yes.
–Citizens of Harts Creek school

Howard Adams, Eula Adams, Anna Adams, and Nora Adams all have gone back to Logan to attend school.

Mrs. Shirley Mullins is conducting a good school on Buck Fork. We really appreciate her work and wish to thank her.

How many know that there is to be a wedding in this hamlet soon? You don’t know? Well, how do you like the way you found out?

Miss Weltha Mullins has been visiting her parents of this place.

Some of the people in Logan seem to think that the people on Harts Creek never saw a car. Pahaw, fella. They make ‘em climb trees in our burg.
