HANGING GROVE.

W. R. Willits is attending jury this week. /diss Ethel Parker assisted Mrs. v BL L. Bussell with some sewing Tuesday. Miss Millie Ripgeisen spent a few days last week visiting friends and relatives here. Wilson Bussell visited relatives and attended court at Rensselaer a few days this week. Mrs. J. R. Phillips and Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson spent Thursday at Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Armstrong’s. Mrs. John Wilkins and children and Misses Clara and Tillie Ringeisen, of Rensselaer, visited friends and relatives here a few days this week. D. L. Keen, the Monon agent, left Tuesday evening for Frankfort to take up a similar duty at that point. Hugh F. Davisson, a young man of Rensselaer, has been assigned to this station. Robert Johns' and Miss Ethel Ross went over east of Francesville Wednesday. Robert has secured employment on the big dredge over there. Ethel Ross will visit rela.tives for a few days before, returning home.

Ed Cook fell from Clyde Fulk’s auto last Saturday, while the car was moving tein miles per hour, and inflicted a minor scalp wound. His cap blew off and he attempted to alight from the car before it was stopped. No serious results are anticipated, however. Chas. Bussell got another old wolf a few days ago, this time by the poisoning route. He took a goose that the wolves had killed and placed some poison in it, and put it on one of their regular crossings. The old wolf was found only a few feet from the poison. Miss Madge Robinson went up to Barkley Sunday for a visit of indefinite length, with her grandpa Wells and family. ‘ The house and several other.small buildings burned at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning on the former Harry Rishling farm, northeast of the Fairview school house. No particulars have been received. There was a fine large barn just erected this spring apd it is quite likely it required much work to keep it from burning. That neighborhood seems to be an unlucky place for fires, as this is the third fire within three or four years, within a radius of one mile.

Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell, Gifford Marrs, Paul Stevens, Edna Lefler and Dora Phillips went to Gary Sunday. They-made the trip over the Gifford _ road by motor car to Dinwiddie, on to Crown Point by automobile, and. from Crown Point to Gary on the interurban. It was an excellent trip and was thoroughly enjoyed. Some culprits had taken the motor car from Dinwiddie some time during the day and evidently were inexperienced fellows, as they put the machine entirely on the bum. Another motor car was telephoned for at Kersey and the party was only laid out a few minutes. But if the fellows can be apprehended they will probably be made to account for their conduct.
