“Blue Eyed Beauty,” a local correspondent at Whirlwind in Upper Hart, Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Democrat printed on Thursday, April 3, 1919:
Rev. David Frye and Pat Atkins failed to fill their appointments for church at Bulwark Sunday, disappointing a large number.
Lindsey Blair had a chopping Tuesday.
Vinson Collins and Henry Hensley bought a load of potatoes of C.B. Riddle Monday.
Grover Adams bought a colt of Lindsey Blair Sunday.
Anderson Dempsey bought a cow of Sid Bryant Friday.
Millard Baisden bought a wagon load of potatoes of Mrs. E.B. Riddle Friday.
Mrs. Hallie Tomblin visited with homefolks Sunday.
Charles Curry failed to fill his appointment to preach at Browns Run Sunday.
The United States marshals made a raid on Twelvepole last week, capturing some moonshine and one deserter, Lewis Vance. Vance ran away from Camp Lee in December, 1917, and had been dodging the officers ever since.
The farmers of this section were visited by a small forest fire the middle of the week. It started Tuesday evening when David Frye was burning some litter off a field, and the blaze burned a few panels of fence for him. The fire spread rapidly around the head of Twelvepole, Island Creek and Harts Creek, and was finally stopped by rain on Thursday night.
Alexander Tomblin, of Holden, was visiting on Harts Creek Saturday and Sunday.
