HANGING GROVE.

George Parked finished husking corn Wednesday, probably the first farmer to finish in the township. Quite an exciting accident occurred near McCoy sburg Tuesday •morning. Mrs. Walter Jordan and little 3-year-old son, Robert, were returning home after taking the two older boys to school. The ground was frozen and rough, and some little noise f rightened the team and they started to run, throwing, the occupants both to the ground. The force of the impact was sufficient to bruise Mrs. Jordan considerable and cut quite a gash over- the little boy’s left eye and until the doctor had thoroughly examined him, it was thought his skull -was fractured. They were taken to the ,home of Roy Bussell until they could receive medical aid and .ascertain just how bad they were injured. They are now getting along' nicely and nothing likely to follow the accident. Mrs. Jacob and daughter, Mrs. M. V. Kendall, of Wabash, visited Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Moore arrd other relatives here this week.
