HANGING GROVE.

Miss Edna Lefler spent Sunday with Ethel Ross. Miss Lena Zabel has been sick, but is better at present. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell spent Sunday with C. W. Bussell and family. All of our teachers attended the Association in Rensselaer Friday and Saturday. Mrs. J. G. Ford is here from Newman, 111., visiting her son, M? L. Ford, and family. On account of the bad weather last week the band boys did not practice until Friday night. They are getting some very interesting music now. Mrs. Ray McDonald came over from Monticello Saturday evening for a stay of perhaps a week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Phillips. This is her first visit here since Mrs. Phillips’ sickness. The “Useful Shower,” given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Snedeker Saturday night, for Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Stewart, was attended by quite a good sized crowd and a very lively time was had, but had the weather been more pleasant, quite a number more would have been present.
