Liberty Hill's "prescriptioneer" Logan keeps town medicine alive
Eugene Raymond Logan, town health fixture and self styled prescriptioneer, reflects on being Liberty Hill's de facto doctor since G D Ross retired. He recalls license roots from 1907, travels, a dentistry stint in Chicago, and family life with wife and son Raymond. Logan laments modern label laws restricting compounding and notes his varied past from ranch work to poetry. Local agriculture items report rain near Mankin's Crossing, cotton conditions, and fall legume talks led by Blanco County farmers. Watson Brothers Keillor Ranch shows cattle in the National Aberdeen-Angus Show in Dallas, with prize money and sales planned. Bastrop County Extension photos feature Mrs Probst and Mrs Callahan for The Extensioner.
