From: The Webster Echo; May 25, 1900. ERBACON. Copioos showers fell Friday and Saturday.... Uncle Dennis Gross is seriously ill of chronic diarrhea ....G. C. Stalnaker, of Progress, Braxton county, is here looking for work ....Born, unto Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Carpenter, on the 15, a daughter....Lanty Scott, Erbacon's Nimrod, takes his twice a week squirrel hunts regularly.... Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Stalnaker, who have been attending school at Huntington, returned Saturday ....Candidates McElwain, Gregory, and Payne, were here last week.... S. L. Mason is hustling for a car load of electric light poles.... The saloon question is being fought pro and con. We hope the court will grant no license for this place.... Earl Squires, who was hurt by being thrown from a truck, is able to be out again.... Grandpa and Grandma Given left Friday to visit their daughter, Mrs. Levi Moore, of Flatwoods.... Tom Herron is back from Clarksburg where he was hauling coal. We learn he will not return.... Saul Cook made a business trip to Braxton last week.... Forest fire lighted up Erbacon last week, by burning within the "corporation limits".... The Sunday school here is progressing nicely. But we notice that there are some children as well as grown people that would be better accommodated in school than loafing in town, or tramping the tramroad, whooping and hallooing like, or worse than a tribe of wild Indians. Though one be not a Christian, not even a hypocrite, he or she should have respect enough for God Almighty and humanity to be civil, sober, and attend church on Sunday at least. "As the old dog barks, the puggy learns," is a saying too sadly true and common in these days of vice and immorality. ; But there is a day, an awful day, when the present pleasures and recklessness will be sore displeases and burning pains. Then, Oh! for just one Sunday to keep holy and to attend church! Oh! for but one burning gospel sermon, or one hour in Sunday school! But 'twill be too late. RATTLER.
