ERBACON.

Copioos showers fell Friday and Saturday.... Uncle Dennis Gross is seriously ill of chronic diarrhea ....G. C. Stalnaker, of Progress, Braxton
county, is here looking for  work ....Born, unto Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Carpenter, on the 15, a daughter....Lanty Scott, Erbacon's Nimrod, takes
his twice a week squirrel hunts regularly.... Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Stalnaker, who have been attending school at Huntington, returned Saturday
....Candidates McElwain, Gregory, and Payne, were here last week.... S. L. Mason is hustling for a car load of electric light poles.... The saloon
question is being fought pro and con.  We hope the  court will grant no license for this place.... Earl Squires, who was hurt by being thrown
from a truck, is able to be out again.... Grandpa and Grandma Given left Friday to visit their daughter, Mrs. Levi Moore, of Flatwoods.... Tom
Herron is back from Clarksburg where he was hauling coal.  We learn he will not return.... Saul Cook made a business trip to Braxton last week.... Forest fire lighted up Erbacon last week, by burning within the "corporation limits".... The Sunday school here is progressing nicely.
But we notice that there are some children as well as grown people that would be better accommodated in school  than loafing in town, or tramping the tramroad, whooping and hallooing like, or worse than a tribe of wild Indians.  Though one be not a Christian, not even a hypocrite, he or she should have respect  enough for God Almighty and humanity to be  civil, sober, and attend church on Sunday at least.  "As the old dog barks, the puggy learns," is a  saying too sadly true and common in these days of vice and  immorality. ; But there is a day, an awful day, when the present pleasures and recklessness will be sore  displeases and burning pains. Then, Oh! for just one  Sunday  to keep holy and to attend church!  Oh! for but one burning gospel sermon, or one hour in Sunday school!  But 'twill be too late.
