HANGING GROVE.

The former McAffee land, now owned by Mr. Lawler, is fast changing in appearance. All last summer, fall and part of the winter men were busy putting in tile until now there are perhaps fifty miles of tile ditches on the farm. This spring the work of clearing off the timber land was begun. Every tree is being cut down and everything that will make a saw log is saved and the balance of the tree is' worked up into cord wood. This year practically the entire farm will be in cultivation.
