From: The Webster Echo; July 6, 1900. HARDWOOD. We have fine growing weather. Corn looks fine.

The census man was around asking questions. He only makes his appearance once in ten years..... James Moffat was in our village Saturday. He has been working for Dick Hill for some two months or more. Dick has a large job of work on Laurel run for the Stout Lumber co..... There is some talk that Mr. Hugh Amos will take hold of the Dorr telephone line and connect it with his line known as the Burnsville telephone line. We hope they will do something soon..... Where are you going the Fourth?.... S. B. Adkison was in our place Sunday. Politics is very scarce in our place since the primary.....
