HANGING GROVE.

Mrs. J. R. Phillips went to Monticello Sunday for a week’s visit iwith Mr. and Mrs. Ray McDonald. There will be a joint commencement this year again between tMilroy and Hanging Grove, but this time our graduates will go to Milroy. The date is June 25th. Some complaint has been made by rural route patrons regarding the tampering of mail boxes, presumably by children. In one instance a large enveolpe was taken from a box, torn open and the contents thrown on the ground. All the pieces were recovered in fair condition. This is a very dangerout practice and parents should warn their children of the loss they might incur, beside the punishment that will follow. Any further practice will be looked into regardless of where it leads to. Orange Brewer has a new motor car to be used on his section work this summer. Several men are being employed by the Monon on the Gifford branch. Twenty-nine cars of ties have already been distributed along the track with more to follow. Mrs. C. W. Bussell, Jr., is visiting relatives at her former home near Terre Haute. She will return home the last of this week. Mr. and Mrs, C. C. Randle and Mr. and Mrs. Sifhon Oook and families went to Lafayette Saturday morning to attend a stock raisers' convention.
