Hanging Grove.

James Lefter came up from Lafayette Sunday' morning to spend the day with relatives. His visit to Lafayette was occasioned by the sickness of his son, Len, who was threatened with pneumonia for a few days, but is better now. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ross will remain in MsCoysburg for a few days, before leaving for the future home in Arizona, pending the outcome of the serious sickness of Mrs. Ross’ aged mother, Mrs. A. D. Pattee. Russell Willits, carrier of route 3, of Rensselaer, visited his parents here Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was joint township teachers’ institute here, of Hanging Grove and Milroy Trustees Poole and Foulks were both present. , Th play “Topsy Turvey,” given by home talent, composed of members of the Country Club, was quite favorably received by the packed school hopse. Mrs. Wilson Bussell and Mrs. Oscar Berry each gave a reading, between acts that were also very good. Our club president, Rollin J. Stewart, gave an excellent introductory address just before the curtains were raised, setting forth the motives that led up the organization .of the club and the principles for which it stands. Also that proceeds of - the play would be turned into the Y. M. C. A. fund. The net proceeds were $18.'61. The wolf actually howled at the door of Trustee Poole Saturday night—a real for sure wolf. Mr. Poole said the wolf was heard just out in his pasture a little way from the house. A number of wolves have been seen lately and unless some of them are killed this winter, great havoc will be .wrought with the poultry laisers this season. Chas. P. -Swing is at the sanitarium at Kalamazoo, Mich., taking treatment for asthma.
