MRS. EMILY LOGAN
DIES AT GREAT AGE
One of County's Best Known and
Most Beloved Women—Death
Caused by Cancer.
Mrs. Emily Logan, one of the
best known and most universally
loved women of the town or
| county, died at her home here j
Monday morning at 4 o'clock.
While not unexpected, the news of
her death came as a distinct
shock to her many friends. Mrs.,
Logan, who was in her 85th year,
had been suffering from cancer.
Mrs. Logan was born Jan. S,
1537, and was a member of one
of the state's prominent families.
On July 29, 1859, she was married
to William D. Logan, the
mony being performed by the
Rev. J. G. Landrum.- To this
union was born two daughters—,
Mrs. T. W. Jackson and Miss,
Panola Logan. •
Mrs. Logan taught school in
! Forest City and the county for
! forty years and wielded a won-
I derful Christian influence over,
j all with whom she came in coil- 1
tact. She was greatly beloved by,
'every child who was tortun-ne
'enough to come under her watcn
care. " j
Being a consecrated Christian
and a devout member of the Bap
tist church, Mrs. Logan's influ
ence was greatly felt in the com
munity where she had so long re
| sided. As a neighbor, friend and
! counselor she was ever ready to
Ido a kind deed or speak a word
of tenderness. Her years of ten
i der service had greatly endeared
| her to all* and it is with the sin
cerest sorrow that she is given
up to enter the richly deserved
reward which will most surely be
hers.
The funeral services were con
ducted by the Rev. C. M. Teal at
the Baptist church at 3 o'clock
Ip. m. Tuesday. Interment follow
-1 ed in Cool Springs cemetery.

doubt, and everything points to
the wonderful future of Ruther

The big lot sale of the Teal prop
erty, advertised for Tuesday, was
postponed to Saturday, at 1 o'clock

Horney, selling agent, that be
cause of a train wreck and the
bad condition of the roads, she
could not reach here on time,
either by rail or motor.
Mr. Horney, who has a great
reputation for square dealing,
rather than disappoint the crowd
who had come to see the balloon
ascension, called the sale off and
set Saturday, Aug. 19, as the date
for the sale. He was put to con
siderable expense in doing so, hav
ing to order new bills, ads, etc.,
for the new date. He states that
Miss Jaeger will be here on Sat
urday, and the people are invited
to come in and see her wonderful
performance.

great values. This sale is to be
conducted by the Interstate Land
Auction Co-, of Spartanburg which

firm is that of the Mrs. Beulah
Moore property,, between here and
Spindale. This valuable tract is
