HANGING GROVE.

Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Parker and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell visited at George Parker’s Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Parker visited Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Hooker, west of Rensselaer, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Putts and daughter, of near Rensselaer, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Maxwell Sunday. Mrs. Cora Brower and daughter, of Hammond, and Mrs. Brewer, of Wheatfield, visited Mrs. C. W. Bussell Thursday. The party at Floyd Porter’s Saturday night was attended by a number of young folks, and all report an excellent time. Mrs. Sam Roland and daughter and Miss Mary Feregrine returned home Saturday evening after a week’s visit with relatives in Illinois. Miss Anna Montz and Mrs. Ballinger, of Chicago, came down Sunday evening for a visit with the former’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Montz. One of J. A. Whitlow’s little boys run a fork tang into his knee Thursday evening, and Friday morning the little fellow was unable to use the limb. Ray Herr was taken sick quite suddenly Wednesday evening with neuralgia of the bowels. He had plowed corn during the day, but was not feeling good at supper time. H. G. 80l liger chopped off the ends of two fingers on his right hand one day last week while splitting cultivator pins. The wounds are not serious, but will deprive him of the use of his hand for several days. Mrs. R. S. Drake and daughter Ellen went to Chicago Saturday morning and was joined at Rensselaer by Mrs. Mary E. Lowe on a business trip. Mrs. Lowe intended to go to Marinette, Wis., for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. James Lefler. The heavy forest fires have been extinguished before they reached her or James Leuer’s timber. The Haynes shotting scrape in Milroy Wednesday has caused not a little excitement and will serve as fair warning to a number of other law violators. Several of Haynes’ immediate associates have advanced the statement that the officers had better not interfere with this desperado, but this reminds us that a man never gets so desperate but what he can be captured.
