HANGING GROVE.

Quite a number of neighbors gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Osborne, Jr., Friday evening in the interest of the country club. So enthusiastic was the meeting that there was no hesitancy in perfecting the organization with Rollin Stewart as president, Sam Cook, vice president; Mrs. 0. E. Hitchings, secretary; Morris C. Jacks, treasurer. The meetings will be held at the various homes fortnightly and an entertainment and refreshment committee shaßbe appointed at each meeting. The n#xt meeting will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 0. N. Berry Friday evening, Nov. 2. Mr. and Mrs. Felix Parker came over from Herscher, 111., Sunday for a short visit with relatives. The Liberty loan committee of this township-, will finish their work by Friday evening. Nothing near the assessed amount will be raised, although if everyone would have subscribed as generously as those that have, the amount would have been nearly topped. One thing, the national committee was slow in getting out the which made the work a little draggy at the start.
