The Webster Echo; May 20, 1898 Cowen News S. Wise Salnaker of Flat Woods, is looking after his interests here. Cal Sawyers, of Summersville is engaged as mail hackman from Cowen to Addison. D. C. Hoover is anxious to go to join the army. Boys don't worry, the call may come when you don't want it. E. H. Iserhart, the popular landlord, has had the Cowen house remodeled-new front-which adds greatly to its appearance. Why can't we have a decent road from Cowen to Addison? Visitors to the Springs are beginning to move but they dread the trip over this "muddy streak." We had the heaviest hail storm through this section Sunday night that we have ever seen. The hail lay in heaps of many bushels in low places. much damage is done to early crops. Cards are out for the marriage of Mr. A. C. Cookman, of Cowen, and Miss Annie McClung, of Summersville, May 18. Mr. Cookman is a noble young man, a prosperous farmer far above the average. Miss McClung is a daughter of Mr. Joseph McClung and is a inestimable young lady. We wish them much happiness. CAPTAIN NEMO.
