HANGING GROVE.

Mrs. W. C. Rose has been quite sick for the past week. Everybody invited to the ice cream supper at McCoysburg Saturday night. Miss Dora Phillips spent the week with Ethel Parker at Rensselaer. George H. Thomas was up from Lafayette a few days visiting the Wetheral farm. George Johnson lost a valuable colt last week, a loss of probably one hundred dollars. Mrs. A Williamson spent Friday with her daughter, Mrs. Floyd Miller, and family. Mr. and Mrs. John M. Johnson entertained company from Monon Sunday. Ethel and Elmer Ross visited with R. M. Lowry and family in Gillam Saturday night and Sunday. Mr& Simon Cook has been quite sick this week. The family physician was called out to see her Monday night _• - - Misses Ola and Ellen Drake returned home Tuesday morning from a visit with relatives in Monon. They also attended the commencement exercises at Monon Friday evening. Mrs. Sarah Fulk and • Miss Hazel Drake called to see Mrs. Mabel Coghill Beaver in Milroy township Tuesday. The latter is very low with consumption and it seems only a matter of a few days until the dreaded disease will take her life. The rain last week seemed to favor a few spots more than the rest. Saturday evening the Osborne neighborhood was visited by a rain and wind storm that lasted for nearly an hour. The wind did several little stunts, such as blowing limbs off apple trees, unroofed a corn crib or two, and turned a hen bouse half way around on its foundation. C. W. Bussell has had excellent luck thus far with his wild geese. From three geese that were setting on five eggs each, were hatched fifteen goslings and all are doing well except one that got out of the nest when first hatched and perished. One more goose is to hatch yet, and besides these he has twenty-five young wild ducks. *

Mr. and Mrs. Whitlow's baby got a dose of poison Saturday morning about eight o’clock. Mr. Whitlow had been doctoring a horse and dropped a paper wrapper on the floor. The child chewed and swallowed a portion of it, and was made very sick for a while. The doctor was called but before he came «the mother had succeeded in getting the child to vomit, after which it got better.
