    3. From: The Webster Echo; May 11, 1900. BOIS. Theo. Lunceford has just returned from Addison, where he accompanied his son, R. J. Lunceford, to attend school....There has been quite a sensation at Bois, caused by J. N. Johnson having his chin-whiskers shaved off. No one now recognizes the 'Squire'....J.J. Lunceford, of Bois, attended the baptizing at Marpleton; Sunday. Jeff reports a glorious time....M. S. Chipps has quit wagoning and has commenced farming at a good rate. Mike says all the trouble he has is that he can't keep a supply of plow points, as they wear out entirely too quick....G. C. Lunceford has just came into Bois almost scared to death, and when we asked him what was wrong said he seen a rat at their place which measurd 4 feet from tip of tail to a nail head against the wall on the other side of the room....Messrs. Theo. Lunceford, F. K. Johnson and J. N. Johnson helped M. S. Buchanan roll and burn his clearing last Monday....The Sunday school at Boggs school house is not meeting with as much success as we would like to see, on account of measles in this section....All the farmers in this neighborhood will soon be done planting corn, and then the squirrels will suffer considerable at the hands of "Daniel Boone" and "Jesse James" UNCLE MIKE.
