HANGING GROVE.

Pearl Johnson has a fine new buggy. A. O. Moore arid Chas. Bussell were In Rensselaer Friday as witnesses on the Ryan ditch. R. W. Searight came out from Logansport morning and accompanied Roy Bussell on his mail route, with his Excelsior motorcycle. He returned to Logansport Sunday evening. v The Charles Franks house, which is being built to replace the one recently burned down, is being pushed very rapidly and if the weather remains reasonably fair, it will be ready for occupancy within two or three weeks. There was some talk Sunday of holding the township Sunday School convention next Sunday, but it has been thought best to abandon the matter until a later date, as it could hardly be arranged for in such a short time. Mr. and Mrs. Wash Cook, Mr. and Mrs. George Parker, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Armstrong went to Tefft Sunday to spend the day with C. R. Peregrine and family. One of Mr. Peregrine’s children has been sick lately and it was this that caused them to make the trip at this time. They made the trip in Mr. Cook’s auto. Fully seventy-five friends and relatives came in on Frank Cochran Sunday and gave'him a birthday dinner surprise, it being his 53d birthday. Everyone brought well filled baskets and a bounteous dinner was served. It was a great day for Mr. Cochran to have the people eome in and remember him in such a manner.
