HANGING GROVE.

Mr. and Mrs. George Westphal and children of Francesville visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Cochran Sunday. Miss Florence Bussell is working at the apron factory in Rensselaer. Hugh 1 Davisson, former station agent here for the Monon, visited friends in McCoysburg Sunday. Hugh is now working in the Monon depot at Lafayette as cashier. There were a goodly number out to Sunday school and church Sunday afternoon. During the recent cold weather, not much was done with this work, but with the coming of more favorable weather conditions our attendance show increase rapidly. John Phillips received two more letters from Harvey, who is with the navy somewhere in France, this makes four letters they have received from him since landing there. Says he is seeing wonderful sights, and that government advertisement “Join the Navy and see the World,” is being carried out to the letter. Says he is in the best of health and having a good time. | Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stephens visited Mr. and Mrs. Van Wood on Rensselaer Saturday night and Sunday. Miss Madge Robinson visited relatives in McCoysburg Saturday night and Sunday. The farmers are making a desparate effort to get their corn out during the lull in the weather, but are experiencing very soft fields, and cannot pull much corn out at a time.
