From: The Webster Echo; Aug. 21, 1903. ERBACON. Corn is looking well....Nathan Barnett, of Braxton, is visiting here....John T. Fowler is able to sit up a little at a time....Mr. and Mrs. Haine Boggs, of Braxton, were visiting relatives here last week....A small show exhibited at the school house a couple of nights last week....Rev. C. L. Queen, President of the West Virginia Annual Conference M. P. Church, delivered a very able discourse here last week....W. H. DeLung is again hobbling around on crutches, caused by an attack of chronic rheumatism....Ira Scott had the misfortune to break the bones of one foot some days ago by a sled running over it....R. M. Gross talks of sending his team to Richwood to haul lumber from Cherry to Richwood for H. Boggs, provided he can employ a trusted driver....Our blow at gossipping some weeks ago was well received by many. We trust it may be as "bread cast upon the waters, that the fruits thereof may be seen many days hence." Too much trouble is caused by tale-bearers....The trustees of the Missouri Run school employed Arthur N. Hines, of Little Birch, Braxton county, to teach the coming term of school. Mr. Hines is a young man of excellent repute, having taught several terms of school, and being one of the two applicants who received first grade certificates in the Braxton examination., He is one of that county's best young instructors. The trustees were fortunate in securing him by sending him a call.
