HANGING GROVE.

V. G. Lutes and family moved to the Halligan farm over northwest of Pleasant Ridge. Mr. and Mrs. Lesile Lowman will occupy the property in McCoysburg vacated by Lutes. Invitations have been given out this week for a “useful” shower at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Roy Bussell Saturday evening for Mr. and Mrs. Morris C. Jacks. Joe Snyder went to Rensselaer on Wednesday to get medicine for his son, Luke, who was taken sick with a heavy cold Tuesday. Mr. Snyder and family expect to move into a tenant house near Carry Lowman’s as soon as they can get possession. Mrs. Nancy Williamson came from Michigan a few- days ago and will spend considearble time visiting her son, A. Williamson and family and other relatives. C. W. Bussell, Jr., of Rensselaer, is assisting his father this week, moving a house near Francesville. Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson visited his parents at McCoysburg Tuesday. R. M. Jordan and daughter, Ethel, 'were in Rensselaer Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jordan visited with Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jordan and family Sunday. Work will begin in a short time on the new stone road improvement. ’Die contractor was out last week looking over the road and thought he might raise some of the bridges and do some grading next week. It will be an all summer’s job and will afford lots of work for teams and men. Already men have been here looking for tenting quarters. When this road is completed there will still be three-fourths -j a mile of dirt road on the county line, east of the Hitclpngs corner. It will necessarily be some time before this can be built by petition, but it seems that a more effective way and especially a quicker method would be, for each township affected to build its portion of the road, which would be three-eighths o f a mile. Isaac Parker came through from Mitchell, S. Dak., with a load of cattle and came on down here Tuesday night for a couple of days’ visit with t datives.
