HANGING GROVE.

Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bussell and family <and Harvey Phillips spent Sunday at Wilson Searight’s, near Logansport. J. R. Phillips was in Chicago Monday taking treatment from an eye specialist. He was accompanied by hie son, Harvey. Clifford Frees fell from a horse Saturday and broke his right arm near the wrist. He attempted to alight froth the horse and became overbalanced, falling backward. He is now getting along very well. Oats cutting was begun here Monday and it was found very difficult to run the binders, owing to the wet ground. In fact, many fields are still under water. Gasoline power attached to the binders this year will no doubt prove very helpful in saving the grain. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Jacks and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell and children went to Herscher, 111., Saturday afternoon in the former's car, to visit over Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Felix Parker and family. It was a very nice trip, with good roads except the Illinois roads being a little rough, being mostly all dirt roads. That part of Kankakee county does not seem to have had the rain we have had and their oats are standing up well and their prospect for com is excellent. Mr. Parker and son, Guy, are engaged in the grocery and dry goods business under the firm name of Parker and Parker, and are enjoying a good business despite the present trade depression. The inhabitants are largely German and Swedes.
