From: The Webster Echo, April 24, 1896 Wainville News The charms of spring have again awakened. The farmers are preparing for large crops. Uncle Lewis McElwain made a flying trip to Moundsville last week. He reports a pleasant trip. Jesse Bills and Dick Wilson are the champion squirrel hunters of this vicinity. There will be an excursion train run on the W. & M. railroad Sunday, April 26th. The Wilson brothers have completed their new house. It is a model of architectural beauty and convenience. Thomas Boone has moved into his new house on Main street. We are glad to note that "Old Kooch," who was so nearly killed, is slowly improving. James Burger, who has been recently married, is visiting his Uncle at Clarksburg. Wheeler & Miller have completed their railroad to the Webster Company's timber land and are hauling logs rapidly. Quite a number of Wainville people took dinner at the Durbin Restaurant Sunday. The table was loaded down with ice cream and turkey, and many other things too numerous to mention. We are sorry to learn that Heskiah Holcomb is dangerously ill with typhoid fever. G. F. McElwain says he is going to represent Webster county in the next Legislature of West Virginia. QUIET OBSERVER.
