HANGING GROVE.

J. H. Montz went to Monticello Wednesday. Chas. Armstrong peddled beef over the neighborhood Monday. Mrs. M. A. Rishling and Mrs. Hen Bond were in Rensselaer Wednesday. A Williamson has been sick for \a few days but is able to be about again. Mrs. J. R. Phillips came home from Bluffton Monday, after a week’s visit with relatives. R. S. Drake and family and Miss Blanch Cook visited in Monon Sunday. They went over in Mr. Drake’s Buick. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Armstrong, of Michigan City, are here visiting their son, Charles Armstrong. The density of the air Wednesday was probably caused by the forest fires in Minnesota and Canada. • A. O. Moore and son Ralph, Clint Brown, R. S. Drake and Wash Cook made a tour of the corn belt of Indiana Wednesday ill the former’s auto. Mr. and Mrs. George McCoy moved to McCoysburg Wednesday and will take up their residence in the house near R. C. McDonald’s store. J. W. Hitchings came over from Brook Wednesday and is preparing to build a wall under his house here, also to. build a cellar. Charles A. Lefler has the only molasses factory in the township this season and has turned out several hundred gallons. A few days ago he received an order for 20 gallons to be shipped to Nebraska. Rollin Stewart and M. L. Ford are likely to go into the racing business, at least “Rollie” has taken the old cart fropl the hen house roof and taken it home. Tom Stevenson has moved on the McAffee farm, where Floyd Porter recently moved from. Tom just came from Larimore, N. Dak., and the tale he tells of the crops is not very encouraging. J. B. Crownover and 8-months-old baby came up from Paris, Tenn., Thursday. He is now down sick with typhoid fever, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Wash Lowman. Only a few weeks ago his wife died and left him the young babe to care for. Cecil Rishling’s baby died at 6 o’clock Friday morning after an illness of several weeks, aged 4 months, and 21 days. Interment was made in the Osborne cemetery Sunday afternoon. A large crowd of friends and relatives attended the funeral. The supervisors have begun work on the roads, some grading, and others hauling gravel. No gravel was found on the McKeener farm that would pay to uncover. What gravel we have will be hauled from the Walters pit in Gillam township. It is a fearful long drag, in fact it takes a long time to accomplish little, but every - little helps.
