From: The Webster Echo, Jan. 7, 1898 Bergoo Locals Cold weather, and plenty of snow. Several of our citizen attended county court this week. The Gillespie Company are doing a good business at this place. G. A. Sycafoose has resigned his office as constable, and W. H. Beal has been promoted to that position. The schools of this community are progressing nicely. We have four schools in this section. C. H. Chapman at Red Oak Knob and E. D. Ehert at Upper Elk are teachers of Experience, and are doing good work. Hettie Hamrick at Chestnut Bottom is teaching her first school; she has the praise of all the patrons. R. M. Dodrill is wielding the "birch" at Leatherwood. Judge C. McDodrill and his sister, Mrs. Weese, were visiting their many friend here recently. The Judge attended a meeting of the Leatherwood Literary Society, and in his eloquent way, made an address that was impressive upon the mind of every listener, and beneficial to all. We hope to have him with us again in the future, and will give him a warm welcome. BROOM SAGE.
