HANGING GROVE.

I. N. McCurtain was a Parr visitor Wednesday. Bernard Nagle, of Rensselaer, is working for C. W. Bussell. Clyde Corliss, of Rensselaer, will occupy his mother’s farm the coming season, which is now occupied by O. Lambert. Chas. Stultz has quit on the Monon section until warmer weather, as his health will not permit him working In bad weather. Considerable corn is moving now, probably owing to the good condition of the roads. H. G. Bolliger is shelling a couple of thousand bushels today. The McCoysburg elevator is handling an immense amount of grain this season. . Xmas packages have come thick and fast through the mails this year, probably heavier than ever before. The stamp receipts at the Indianapolis office for Monday alone were $4,640. The high day last year was $6,320. John L. Osborne is going to move back to his farm here in January. His son-in-law, Hoy Rishling, who now lives on his farm here, will exchange farms with him. They will exchange corn, hay, etc., thus affording each an earlier opportunity to move. M. L. Ford has begun cutting his saw logs and will cut off all the timber south of his house, save a few trees directly in front of the house. Mr. Ford intends building a fine big barn as soon as his lumber is sawed. A large barn has been a growing need of Mr. Ford’s for the past few years, as he is now handling considerable stock each year.
