An unknown correspondent from Banco on Big Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on October 12, 1926:

All you folks of different towns

And the travelers making rounds

Who read lots of papers

And are always getting blue

Just get The Logan Banner and read it too.

Miss Gay Petit of Braxton county, teacher of the Daisy school, and Miss Mary Thomas of Estep were the guests of Clara Harmon last Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Stone and children were out motoring last Saturday evening.

We imagine H.F.L. will soon don his furs and be off for the “North Pole.”

Gardner Baisden of Estep passed through Banco last Sunday enroute to Stone Branch. What’s the attraction around there, Peanut?

Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Justice, Mr. and Mrs. O.C. Justice, and Earl Justice motored from Whitman last Sunday and were the guests of home folks on Elm Street.

Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Hager and small daughter of Stone Branch and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Hager of Big Creek were the guests of Mrs. Mary Hager last Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Miller of Six Mile motored through Banco last Sunday evening.

O.L. Harmon of Aracoma was calling on his uncle Mr. D.H. Harmon here one evening last week.

Look out girls of Banco and Estep. You’re going to lose Basil Duty, as he is visiting Mud Fork real often. There must be some attraction up there.

H.F. Lucas of Elm Street was in Banco real early last Sunday morning. He surely was inspecting the “Candy Kitchens” of this town.

Miss Ruby Browning, teacher of the Broad Branch school, was visiting her parents at Cynthiana, Ohio, the last weekend.

Mrs. B.E. Ferrell of Mt. Sinai was a business caller in Banco one day last week.

Wonder if the “Boy” who resides on Elm Street saw the pretty girl from Daisy that was visiting in Banco last Sunday?

Jesse Justice surely will be an expert at swallowing taffy as he followed a mill all last week that ground out the goods.

Good luck to all.

An unknown correspondent from Banco on Big Creek in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on June 4, 1926:

Here we are back again into our friendly circle, The Banner family, with a few items from the progressive little town of Banco.

Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Stone and Mrs. Lizzie Perdue and daughter, Louise, of Banco motored to West Hamlin last Sunday and all reported a very enjoyable day.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Baisden and children of Needmore were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Duty of Spring Dale last Tuesday.

Mrs. Charles C. Varney and daughter Madeline were the all day guests of Mrs. J.B. Lucas at Pumpkin Center last Wednesday.

Miss Charlotte Chapman of Estep was a business caller in Banco last week.

Wonder who the girl was at Big Creek last week that laid her arm around a Banco Boy’s neck for a strawberry?

Miss Marea Lucas was calling on Misses Mattie and Ollie Varney last Sunday afternoon.

Wonder how Basil Duty would like another trip to Big Ugly? Why not call a taxi next time, Basil?

Okey Justice of Whitman was calling on homefolks on Elm street last Sunday.

Wonder if Frank Chapman and Jesse Justice are having much success at Spring Dale? We wish them the best of luck. Be careful boys and don’t go any farther than the mill.

We saw in last week’s letter from Shegon an item which read like this: “Fred Woolum sure does look sweet in his new straw stack.” We have a boy in our town whose name is Fred Woolum and he also has a new straw stack. Just ask the girls of Sutton. They will tell the rest.

Miss Mary Thomas of Estep was a caller in Banco last Tuesday night.

“Just a little sympathy for a boy whom we know well

Who met a girl at church in the Sunny Dell

And in the parlor when the lights were burning low,

A girl who left for Braxton county some little time ago.”

Success to The Banner readers.

An unknown local correspondent from Banco in Logan County, West Virginia, offered the following items, which the Logan Banner printed on April 20, 1926:

The population of our town is steadily increasing. Mr. Enoch Workman of Stone Branch moved into East End last Friday.

Mrs. Ethel Ferrell of Estep and Mrs. Minnie Queen of Needmore were on a shopping tour in Banco and Big Creek one day last week.

The folks at this place are very busy at present caring for the sick, gardening, and farming. All the patients who have had measles are improving, we are glad to say.

Wonder why Frank Chapman spends every Sunday afternoon in the East End? We imagine there is some game up there. It must be “Dears.”

Miss Mary Thomas of this place left for Turtle Creek one day last week where she will spend a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Adlia Barker.

We are informed that Mr. and Mrs. Ola Adkins have moved back into the little town of Needmore. Mrs. Adkins’ work will consist mostly of farming for the summer.

The South Penn Oil and Gas Company is making fine progress drilling for oil and gas at the head of Ellis Fork near this place.

Mr. Gartner Baisden and one of his girlfriends of Ellis Fork were out horseback riding last Saturday afternoon. Wonder if his girl at Logan will care?

J.W. Thomas of this place was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Pauley of East End last Sunday afternoon.

Frank Chapman of Estep was a business visitor in Logan last Monday.
