HANGING GROVE.

Horton & Heltzel sold two hundred white shotes in one herd to a Remington man Monday. They presented a very uncommon sight for this locality. Mrs. Christie, of Chalmers, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Chet Downs, in Barkley, is visiting J. C. Maxwell and family. Hugh Maxwell’s foot is quite a bit better just now, he having been able to ride out same. The stone haulers have moved their tents from McCoysburg to G. W. Hobson’s and have began hauling stone from Bussell’s switch. The prolonged threshing season has made it hard for the contractor to get steady teams, but with the short haul now the work should move along nicely.

Ed Rose entered Purdue Monday and is taking civil engineering. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Robinson, of Morocco, are visiting relatives here for a few days. Mr. Robinson is taking his annual vacation. Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson visited her daughter, Mrs. J. R. Phillips, a short time Tuesday. She returned to Rensselaer to assist in caring for measles in Dan Robinson’s family. Elvin Bussell was taken quite sick with acute indigestion while at work on the new road Monday afternoon. He was hurried to a physician in Rensselaer, where it first thought the trouble might be appendicitis. Later developments failed to show appendicitis symptoms. His condition was somewhat better Wednesday. Quite a little excitement was occasioned here Monday afternoon when John Herr came out and stopped the C. & W. V.fßy. from further construction of their new side track to the Monon depot until they paid him for the land covered by their tracks. Mr. Herr claims to have told the section boss not to cross over on his land until some settlement had been made. Mr. Herr threw an oak bridge plank across the track in front of the work train, bringing everything to a sudden stop. Mr. Herr is not trying to ceep them from building their switch jut only wants pay for the land they use. An agreement will likely be reached soon. The company is probably not altogether to blame for there seems to be a little dispute about the title of this particular land. Lou McDonald, of Monticello, is lere visiting relatives and friends. Quarterly meeting and preaching service at McCoysburg Saturday evening at 7:30 o’clock.
