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
