HANGING GROVE.

Owen Barker and Robert Johns are cleaning the school house. / Next Monday is “Labor Day.” The day will not be observed very much here, as thrashing is so for behind. All rural carriers will be off duty that day. The Jasper county carriers are going to have a picnic gathering at the home of Jadie Martindale in Rensselaer Monday. R. V. Johns and Frank Summers went to Louisville on the excursion Sunday, being the only passengers from McCoysburg. The choir will meet at the home of D. W. Johnson Tuesday evening for practice. The singers will please take notice. Floyd Miller has bought an 80acre farm in Pulaski county, near the Tom Eldridge place, and E. J. Hammerb acker has bought of Jones & Brown, of Lafayette, the former Baily farm of 100 acres. The price paid was $75 per acre. No doubt Elmer will not batch longer than this summer. A large number went from here to Lee Saturday night to attend the ice cream social given for the benefit of the church. The band boys went over to return some of the favors that the Lee people have shown ns In the past, but they were late getting together on account of not all understanding the arrange meets.
