HANGING GROVE.

Sam Cook, the lockl agent for the Krit automobiles, sold a car to Ed Waling Friday and delivered it the same day. The joint commencement between Hanging Grove and Milroy townships Thursday was qtoite largely attended. There were six graduates, three from each township, and of the six five were boys and one girl. This same incident occurred at Tefft. There are usually more girl graduates than boys. The themes were all good and well delivered. W. E. Jacks, of southeast of Rensselaer, was given a birthday surprise pinner Sunday. A goodly number of his relatives and friends were present and spent a very pleasant day. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell took dinner with Mr. and M-rs. George Parker Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. A. Williamson and family visited at Floyd Miller’s Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Lowman spent Sunday, with his parents at McOoysburg. The rain Saturday afternoon was quite welcome by the fanners, as the oats and meadows were needing rain quite badly. Oats are generally very short, and a good many fields cannot be benefited very much by rain now. Corn over the entire township is looking good. Some fields are a little weedy. J. M. Ray was called to Elwood Friday on account of the death of a nephew. The Hanging .Grove township Sunday School convention will be held at McCoysburg next Sunday, June 29th. Everybody is cordially invited to attend. The program will begin at 2 o’clock and last probably two hours. Come and exchange ideas with your friends and Sunday school workers.
