I tried using the newspaperarchive file - without much luck. Me thinks that I just do not know how to use this particular search engine. I seemed to have had better success with the advanced search features. Yet at that, I was not able to narrow the search to the newspapers in Logan County which leads me to thinking that they just are not on the site. Anyone had any success just searching in the Logan County newspapers?

It's very odd Garland. I got that too but some people got right in. I'm not sure what the issue is.
