HANGING GROVE.

The lecture at McCoysburg Saturday night by Col. G. ~W. Hobson on his recent trip to Cuba and the Isle of Pines, was listened to. by a crowded house, standing room being at a premium. Mr. Hobson's address was along the line of what he saw on the way 6ver there, the life and customs of the natives of Cuba. One point in particular which Mr. Hobson emphasized was that the Cuban showing a stranger the cities always pointed to the best improvements and said “that was done by Americans.” The writer was unable to attend the lecture on account of sickness and therefore cannot give Mr. Hobson the credit he deserves. Henry Heck and daughter, Edna Ruth, were both quite sick with grip Thursday. A doctor was called to attend them. Miss Millie Ringeisen, who was thrown from a buggy Wednesday and received a broken arm, was removed to her home in Rensselaer Sunday afternoon. She had been at the home of her sister, Mrs. Ed Cook, since the accident and another sister, Mrs. John Wilkins, was also there helping care for her. / Washington Cook has bought of W. S. Lowman' the former Reed McCoy property in McCoysburg and will move here, some time later.
