HANGING GROVE.

Mts. W. R. Willits returned hoi ie Wednesday from Rensselaer, where she had been to see her mother, Mrs. Eldridge, who has been in very-poir health for some tithe and her conation is such as to cause considerable concern. Born, Friday, March 9th, to Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jordan, a son, it being their second child. Miss Leonia Snedeker has secured a ,position at the thread factory in Monticello and has been work there. Sam Cook’s case of grippe proved to be measles, frdm which he has been confined to his bed all week. Quite a number were exposed before it was known that the case was measles, so it is probable there will be , several cases in McCoysbuhg. The preaching service that was announced for Friday and Saturday nights has been called off on account of measles. R. L. Bussell took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Rollin Stewart Tuesday. Mrs. J. R. Phillips went to Rensselaer Wednesday. Marie, the little daughter of Mr. and M rs. ■ John Wuethrich, is quite sick. Since the thawing .weather wheat has brightened up considerably an I with favorable weather from now on, we may still have a fair wheat crop. There has not been large an acreage sown here for a long time and It is hoped all will be rewarded with a good crop. The sleet storm Monday night di I some damage to old orchards, bet nothing else very serious, except to the telephone lines.
