HANGING GROVE.

Prospects for good corn never was better than at this time. There are so many nice fields that it is difficult to determine which is the best. But for a large field George Potts probably holds the banner, he has about 90 acres in one piece which will average knee high all over and is of extra good color. Wheat and rye are both looking good. Mrs. J. R. Miller is visiting her daughter, Mrs. S. B. Snedeker. Mrs. Olin S. Stewart and son are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stewart and other relatives here this week. Rollin Stewart has begun work on his new silo. Joseph L. L. Heer is now getting along nicely from his recent severe sickness and will be able to work probably in a short time. Vern Ray and Frank Eldridge went to Hebron Monday. They expect to help in the clover hay harvest at Wash Lowman’s. Opal Doan, of Elwood, visited J. M. Ray and family a few days last week. Mrs. Annie Timmons returned to her home in Gilbert, Ariz., Tuesday afternoon, after a short visit here with her sister, Mrs. J. F. Cochran and family. Her mother, Mrs. A. D. Pattee, returned home with her for a stay of indefinite length. John Wuethrick has begun the work of remodeling his dwelling. A portion or the old house will be moved back, and a modern equipment will be put in the new house. Mr. Wuethrick is one of the practical, conservative farmers on rural route one. C. W. Bussell, Jr., went to Rensselaer Thursday. Aunt Mary Ann Robinson continues poorly.
