HANGING GROVE.

Mrs. Mary Lowe, of Rensselaer, visited her nephews, Roy and Wilson Bussell, and families, from Saturday night until Monday morning. Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson returned home Saturday evening from a visit at Star City.

Charles Wells, Scott and Madge Robinson visited at J. R. Phillips’ Sunday. Russell W. Willits received the appointment for rural letter car : Tier on route from Rensselaer, and is to begin work Monday, June 22. Russell is a fine young man with excellent habits and will make a good carrier. He will probably not move his family to Rensselaer for a short while, until he gets settled to his new work. His appointment takes him right out of a big corn crop, but those are the kind of men Uncle Sam is looking for. He rode the route with sub-carrier C. Bussell Thursday in order to get used to the work. Mrs. D. W, Johnson picked cherries at W. R. Willits Monday. Substitute carrier Charles W. Bussell is carrying mail for Roy Bussell while he is taking his annual Vacation, which will last until July Ist. The township Sunday School convention at McCoysburg Sunday was not very largely attended, but was quite interesting and much enthusiasm was shown in the work. Some excellent remarks were made by our home speakers and also by ' Mrs. Hemphill. The session closed by electing officers for the following year. Miss Ethel Parker accompanied Mrs. Sam Parker to Brook last week for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hinchman. She returned Saturday and Mrs. Parker expected to go to Chalmers from there to visit a sister. Mrs; Henry Heck went to Fowler Saturday morning for a three or four days’ yisit with her parents. McCoysburg comes in for a big share of epidemics and just now there are a few mild cases of mumps and whooping cough, and on account of this the children’s day exercises have been given up. Mrs. O. E. Hitchings, of Gary, came Saturday for a week’s visit with Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Bussell. D. W. Johnson had another very sick horse Thursday 'morning and called a veterinary from Francesville.
