JOE A. LOGAN. We are pleased to give a short sketch of the popular and talented editor of the Miltonian. This is one of the best weekly papers of the Seventeenth Congressional District; it was established in 1816 as a strong Whig paper by Gen. Henry Frick. The first number was issued September 21, 1816, and the paper has continued since under the same name. Since Fremont's campaign it has advocated the principles of the Republican party and has been owned and published by the following persons: Gen. Henry Frick; Robert Frick; Robbins & Brown; L. H. Funk; Morton & Mervine, with whom F. Bound was later associated; P. L. Hackenberg; L. B. Housel; and in 1880 Strine & Logan.
Our subject succeeded his partner in 1882. The paper has heen enlarged and its circulation has been increased to 1,200. It is a fact worthy of special mention that the office and printing establishment has always been located within half a square of the present location.
