Our school is progressing nicely at this place.

We are having some nice weather now, and it makes us think about making gardens.

Charley Bryant was very seriously injured when he fell from the porch where he had been working for Arnold Christian Saturday.

Millard and Pearlie seemed to enjoy the sunshine Sunday.

Say, Jim, don’t you think you had more than your share of girls Sunday?

Miss Fannie Brown was very ill Sunday, but we are glad to say she is able to be out again.

Miss Maud had a ten cent smile on Sunday.

We saw Rev. Hensley in town Sunday.

Mr. McNeeley looked tired Sunday. He said he was not used to walking so much in one day.

Mr. Clinton Ferrell of Logan was calling on some of our girls Sunday.

Sidney Ferrell was calling on his friends in Chapmanville Sunday.

We understand Everett Fowler is going to be the new manager of the Tompkins mines.

Clinton, were you with the blonde or the brunette Sunday?

Julius, did you dye those trousers white?

Is John Bry our bank boss now?

Mr. Newt Muncy, one of our business men here, attended services at the Holiness Church Sunday.

The Children’s Prayer meeting conducted at the Christian Church is well attended.

An unknown correspondent from Chapmanville in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on February 11, 1927:

Misses Tollie Ferrell and Hallie Godby from Logan spent Sunday with Miss Ferrell’s parents here.

Owen Moses’ parents and sister from Huntington visited him Sunday. They were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hassell Perdue.

It is sad to note the death of the small son of Mr. and Mrs. Garland Mounts. They have our sympathy.

Herman Lucas is spending a few days at Madison.

Carlos Ferrell made a flying trip to Logan Wednesday and hasn’t returned.

Miss Bernice Ward spent Sunday with her mother here.

The revival at the Church of God is still going on. We wish them success.

O.F. Ferrell is still improving over the fall while out hunting some time ago. We wish him quick recovery.

Mrs. Hoover continues ill at this writing. We wish her quick recovery as she has been ill for some time.

T. Lowe, the assessor of this district was a business caller in Logan Thursday.

The power line from Logan has been doing some work in our town for the last few days.

Good luck to the Banner.
