HANGING GROVE.

The country club meeting at the home of R. L. Bussell Friday night was attended by about 75 people and all had a very pleasant time. .The principal number on the evening’s program was the debate, the subject being: Resolved, that immigration be restricted. Miss Clyde Duncan and Mrs. Robert Cook took the affirmitive and John Osborne and Herbert Bowers the negative. It was very interesting through both sides. However, the negative side carried away the honors. John Osborne made a stirring appeal tothe audience by closing his argument with extracts from the constitution of the United States. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Parker, Gaylord Parker, Mrs. R. L. Bussell, Mrs. Morris Jacks, Mrs. Wash Cook and sons, John and Charles, and Mrs. J. R. Phillips visited Frank Peregrine and family near Valparaiso Sunday. Their visit at this time was occasioned by Frank Peregrine’s son, Moore, being home from Virginia, where he is serving as a first lieutenant with the marines. They also have another son, Irving, who is located at Camp Shelby. The Y. M. C. A. team had S4BB subscribed Sunday and it was hoped to have the quota of S2OO or more by Monday.
