A correspondent named “A Hard Nut to Crack” from Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on March 16, 1923:

Harts Creek is improving every day as so many people are exiles. Harts Creek has such a reputation—it is only the people, not the place at all, so maybe those who have not left are very industrious. Most of the people have exited to Cherry Tree.

A list of people who left for the city, some who have gone quite a while: Bill Mullins, Carl Wellman, Dutch and Cotton, and Mr. B.A. Adams, so I am in great hopes of a better place here.

The Cherry Tree “gluks” say Harts Creekers can’t hurt them. I don’t doubt the fact, honey, for when you said there were so many cherries in Cherry Tree you told the truth. I honestly hope you who wrote that haven’t swallowed one for you would look green the remainder of your days. “Yes, you are swinging in the sunshine.”

Pshaw, fellow, I forgot to say hello Dotty and Flirt: cooperation! Ah, you know.

Mae Copperhead was seen going through the alley the other day. She was very happy. She was singing “Camrod” in a low sweet tone; it filled the whole universe with harmony.

Miss Mae Cooper, Sylvia and Thelma Adams enjoyed a fine dance Saturday night. “Swing low, sweet butterfly.”

Mr. Ora Booth was calling on Miss Norma Adkins Saturday.

Miss Anna Adams is attending Logan High School. We wish her much success.

Come on with your news, Ginks, and help complete the Banner. You didn’t write enough. Please write more next time.

A correspondent named “A Flirt” from Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on February 16, 1923:

Saw in Cherry Tree news where the boys had gone to Hart and ruined their tummies on chicken. I don’t doubt the truth of the matter for when one stays in a town like Cherry Tree where there is nothing to eat but salt pork and baking powder bread, they “natcherly” want chicken and some of the cooks on Hart have won prizes on cooking. So come again, boys, when you get tired of powder and paint, salt pork, and baking powder bread.

Seems like our boys are afraid of saying much about their S.L.T.’s of town. Reason—might be a drug store doll. Call sometimes when not expected, boys.

A correspondent from Halcyon at West Fork of Harts Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on March 23, 1923:

Out in the air

Out away from town

Away out in the country

Where the trees and birds are found.

There is where my heart is bent

There is where I find content

There satisfaction hangs all around

It even blossoms from the ground.

There is where the Julip bees

Are humming among the trees.

There is where old Barley Corn

Is pouring from his lavish horn.

Hump! And you will say

The city is where I like to stay.

You just don’t know as well as I

Ere the country you would come and try.

Two preachers from Crawley Creek delivered good sermons at Mt. Era Church Sunday.

The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Workman March 13th and left a fine boy.

Lawrence Mullins is the proud possessor of a grandson.
