HANGING GROVE.

Our commencement exercises will be held June 19 at McCoysburg. The band concert at McCoysburg Saturday evening was attended by a good sized crowd. The conceit could not be held right in McCoysburg on account of a typhoid fever case at the home of Korah Eldridge, near the store, so the band stand was pulled down west in front of the J. E. Ross home. -It seems that a good way for the public to show their appreciation of the band boys’ efforts, would be to erect them a band stand'. This could be done at a trifling cost and would save much time in pulling a wagon back and forth each time. Frank Eldridge, oldest son of Korah Eldridge,’is Quite critically ill with typhoid fever. He has been just about holding his own for the past few days. People quite generally got their money’s worth at the Spark’s circus, as Mrs. W. S. Lowman contracted a quite severe ease of bronchitis by getting her feet wet at the show grounds, and Mrs. R. L. Bussell was also taken sick last Tuesday with German measles, supposedly contracted at the circus or in town.

Mr. and Mrs. Rollin' J. Stewart, of Shadeland, came up Saturday for a visit over Sunday with relatives. Rollin states they are practically all done planting corn in his community. He said they just finished planting Thursday, and celebrated the 30th by autolng over to the Wild Cat creek for a fishing trip. R. W. Searight came out from Logansport Saturday afternoon and delivered an Excelsior motorcycle to Ed Peregrine. It is a 1912 model, fully equipped and has only been run a few hundred miles. Mr. Searight went to the home of Chas. Bussell to spent Saturday night and Sunday. Mrs. J. R. Phillips went to Morocco Thursday to visit her brother, Sam Robinson and family. She returned home Saturday evening, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Mary Robinson, also Mrs. Geo. Robinson, for a short visit. * Rural Carrier R. L. Bussell began taking his vacation Monday, which will continue for fifteen days. Substitute Carrier Chas. Bussell is serving in his place. Ed Cook and Miss Clara Ringeieen were married at the home of the bride’s parents in> Rensselaer, Sunday at 2 o’clock. This is the culmination of a happy romance, which began only a few months ago, and which was not unlooked for by their host of friends. Both are very popular young people in this locality. Ed is a conservative young farmer, and is ntaning the R. S. Drake farm this year. Their many friends will wish them a long and happy life together.
