HANGING GROVE.

Edward Peregrine and three children, Mary,/Ross and Myrtle, left for their home at Artesian, S. Dak., Friday afternoon. They have been here almost a month visiting relatives and friends. The surprise party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell Wednesday evening was attended by a large crowd of your folks. The occasion was in honor of Miss Ethel Palker, it being her 21st birthday. Wash Cook and M. L. Ford each shipped a carload of fat cattle to Chicago last week. Mr. Ford brought hack a load of black cattle for feeding. Mr. and Mi's. A. Williamson visited at Floyd Miller’s Sunday. Saturday was the township teachers’ institute of this School year. It is being held jointly between Milroy and Hanging Grove, as has been the custom for a good many years. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ross and children went to Francesville Saturday and remained over Sunday visiting relatives and friends. Mr. Rosswill not remain on the Kistner farm another year, as the rent has been raised to $5.00 per acre. Consequently Mr. Ross will rent elsewhere. He has been a good citizen and an excellent neighbor and he and his family will be iilissed if they move very far away. O. E, Hitehings is haying his clover hulled. The yield is pretty fair and the quality excellent. Mrs. Wm. Zabel’s parents frojn Illinois have been visiting them for the past ten days. They will return home this Monday morning. W. C. Rose is laid up with sciatie rheumatism, having been confined to his bed for several days. Mr. Rose is having a new glazed tile silo built on the farm where he now lives.

Eddie Rose met with quite an auto accident last Sunday north of Monon, which resulted in the killing of a good horse belonging to a man named Winkley. Eddie was probably sending his car at quite a rapid rate and the man, who was leading the horse behind a buggy, became confused about which way to turn out. The horse received a broken leg and had to be killed. The damage will likely be compromised between the parties. William Gray, the old soldier who lived at-Lee for a good many years, died at Rensselaer last Thursday, and was buried at Osborne cemetery Saturday forenoon.
