HANGING GROVE.

Mrs. Chas. Stultz has been on the sick list for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell and family took dinner with Charles Bussell and family Sunday. Quite a number from here attended the sacred concert and vesper services at Rensselaer Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. George Parker attended the funeral of Chas. Parker’s daughter at Remington Sunday. The commencement exercises at McCoysburg Saturday night were good. The themes were all given and for naming the best speaker, that would be difficult to decide. However, Iva Poole and Garry Snedeker delivered their themes with probably the most ease of any of the graduates. But all were good and their parents and friends will be glad to see them each go on with their school work and make noble men and women of themselves.

No more arrests have been made at McCoysburg on the warrants sworn out last week. However, some more will likely come soon. The state, township and community does not want these men’s money, but simply want them to act like men and have respect for themselves and the community. After taking out for the state and township from the fine and costs of Becker’s case, Squire Bussell turned his portion over to the store keeper to the credit of the Becker family, only to be traded out by members of the family. Thus impressing upon men that it is not their money we want, but good behavior. Mrs. Wm. B. Walters gave a surprise picnic dinner yesterday for her husband, the occasion being his 42d birthday. Mrs. Walters’ father, Z. T. McMurray and family, of Kniman, Mr. and Mrs. A. McMurray and family, of Sheldon, 111., and a number from Rensselaer were in attendance.
