HANGING GROVE.

Mr. and Mrg. John Montz were here Thursday to attend the sale. Gifford MarrS went up to visit his farm near Laura Saturday. Mrs, W. S. Lowman is still quite poorly. Mrs. J. B. Crownover, of Milroy, is quite sick. Mrs. W. C. Rose went to Hoopeston, /111., Sunday evening. It was a dull day for the Ladies’ Aid at Mr. Ringeisen’s sale, as they cleared only $7.30. Severalofour pedagogues attended the show in Rensselaer Saturday night. Mrs. Estel Osborne and son returned to Rensselaer Saturday, after a short visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Leffler. Mr. Ringeisen’s sale was attended by a fair-sized crowd, probably due' to the very cold week. The cows sold well, but the horses did not sell as well as they should, as Mr. Ringeisen had some, very fine young horses, that should have commanded a fancy price. Robert Drake is lbading his car at McCoysburg and expects to get it done In time for the freight to take it south. Three wagon loads of goods were started over land early Monday morning and expected to get as far as Chalmers by night, then finish the trip to the farm, south of Lafayette, Tuesday. M & Drake and family will drive through in their machine. Mention was made sometime ago, relative to the Monon putting in a depot agent at McCoysburg. Saturday ' morning the auditor an* temporary agent, L. D. Wesh, came and checked Mr. Lowman out and transferred the railroad business to the depot. Mr. West did not seem to know just how long he will have to remain, but probably not longer than a regular agent can get located here. If the Monon will now come across a little further, by stopbig accommodation to the public. Tt is quite certain that enough passenger trade would soon be worked up to fully warrant such action. People in this vicinity now are compelled to drive to Monon or Rensselaer to get trains.
