HANGING GROVE.
Charley Peregrine is working for J. R. Phillips Wilson Bussell is still unable to return to school. H. W. Rishllng had some men out Wednesday repairing the highway. We haven’t been able to see what the weather was for several days on account of the fog. Mrs. Fannie Hyatt of Madison, this state, is visiting Mrs. J. V. Lewis for a few weeks. George Johnson made a business trip to Illinois last week and visited several points in that state. If Hayti don’t behave herself, Uncle uam will go over there and spank some of those fellows. Mr. and Mrs. James Lefler attended the big sale at the Star Store in Francesvile last week. George Finch, over in the edge of Ginam, is crowding the season a little. He began plowing Monday. Chas. Saidlai, a retired farmer of McCoysburg, has been hunting ducks and waiting on trains this week. Estel Osborne spent Sunday with his parents north of Rensselaer and also attended church at McCoysburg Sunday night. R. S. Drake recuperated from his sudden attack of quinsy last week sufficiently to take the chairman’s seat at the convention. Jerome Harmon Is making some much-needed improvements on the McAffee place by dehorning the big hedge alongside the road. John Tigler is still mending and is now able to be up some of the time, but will probably never be able to work to any extent. Charley Full made a business trip to Roanoke, 111., last week. Charley will work for his brother-in-law, C. E. Wolfe, this summer.
Mr. Potter, who has made his home for several years at Albert Warner’s, is helping Bob Drake feed the cattle during Ott’s absence. Phillips & McDonald took a large bunch ot their cattle over hr~South America Saturday morning in order to get them nearer some feed they bought recently. Miss Lucy E. Beasley landed a three years state license at the last teachers’ examination, with a general average of 95.2 per cent, which is an excellent grade. We have a new family on our route by the name of Kenedy, from Delphi or near by. They live just inside of our township, on the farm vacated by M. White. Another of the joys of spring, along with the robins and bluebirds, Is when a man just notices that his best coat is becoming quite threadbare and on looking in his pocketbook finds just thirty cents. Mrs. Leonia Stalker and daughter Mrs. C. R. Templeton, have been visiting relatives in and near Decatur, 111., for the past three weeks and are still visiting. Mr. Stalker thinks batching will eventually get old. The motor car, supposed to contain the ofiicials of the C. & E. I. Ry., that was billed to come over the C. & W. V. Ry., on a prpspective buying trip Monday, did not put in an appearance, or at least no one saw it. Wilson Bussell seems to be a “chip from the old block” in the way of a crack marksman. Friday of last week he bagged a fine big sandhill crane. He downed it with one of those long distance loads of No. 8 buckshot.
Otto Hooker’s mother died Monday night, over east of Francesville, after a sickness of long duration. At the last report we were able to obtain it was undecided whether she would be buried here or in Ohio, their former home. Mrs. Reed McCoy and Mrs. Royal Bussell called on Mr. and Mrs. Geo. McCoy Tuesday p. m. The latter has been very sick during the past week. Early Monday morning grave fears were entertained as to her recovery, but she is better again. The Barkley-Francesville gravel road is cut up the worst this spring that it has ever been for some time, especially from Mr. Bond's to the Tillett bridge. Gravel roads are like some dogs, they’ve had their day, majoritorially speaking, however. Frank Huff, a Tennessee lad from Helskell, came up Monday evening in search of work. It was just a week since he left Knoxville, stopping at different intervals looking for work but found all the factories full. He found employment at Will Rusk’s. Mr and Mrs. James Lefler went to Crawfordsville Friday to visit Len Lefler and wife of that place. Len owns and operates a candy store and by all reports is doing a hustling business. Mr. and Mrs. Lefler will return home Sunday afternoon. John Ward is this week drilling a well for John Clapp on the farm occupied by John Jordan Mr. Jordan’s have been seriously Inconvenienced for some time on account of the old well giving out. It had caused more or less trouble to the tenants for several years. The McCoysburg Sunday school is making arrangements for an Easter program to be given on the evening, of the 19th of April. Committees have been appointed and the plans' will go forward promptly and the

prospects now are encouraging for a very interesting exercise. O. C. Hughes, now a resident of Lee and a man who has supplied the demand for horses throughout this country for the past four years, expects to soon—probably has by this time—move to Roselawn to take charge of a new stone road to be built there this summer. M. L. Ford sawed wood Wednesday. Wood sawing with a gasoline engine is quite an item from the economical standpoint in particular, as it does not require a special engineer, nor does it burn up one cord of wood for every five sawed to keep up steam, etc., and it is ready for business in 30 seconds after being put in motion.
Saturday was the last tp. institute in Hanging Grove for this closing school year. Superintendent Lamson was tn attendance, which custom he has ’followed regularly this winter at this point. Also several other visitors were present, including Mrs. James Lefler, Mrs. R. L. Bussell, Misses Mary and Grace Peregrine, Laura Phillipa and. Mary McDonald.
Charley and Lilly Lowe of Monon came up to Robert Drake’s Saturday evening and spent the night and Sunday with them. Charley Lowe’s wife and daughter Berta are now in Colorado Springs, Colo., for the benefit of Mrs. Lowe’s health. The climate there seems to be so agreeable that it is thought she will be restored to health again permanently. Mrs. Joshua Ross and children drove to Francesvile Saturday afternoon in the carriage and as usual Hed the team to the public hitch rack. When they were ready to start home they found one wheel of the carriage completely smashed. The party that did the damage, supposedly by backing into the vehicle with a wagon, seems to have made good his escape. Say! We’ve got a rip-snorting buzz-saw man in our neighborhood now, from over about the Tippecanoeriver pear Monon, where the maple trees grow tall. He uses a gasoline engine to manipulate his saw, and can saw more wood in an hour than most fellows can in a day. Better see him if you have any wood to saw, and if you haven’t any wood better get some. In view of the big rain a short time ago, we are glad to say that only one or two of the many little culverts needed repairing. This is due probably to the fact that our road officials grew tired of replacing culverts every little thunder shower and during the last fiscal year put the most of them in to stand any kind of a circumstance. The good road movement has never before in the history of our country received as much needed indorsement as it has during the last few years. The postofflce department has gathered considerable data through the postal employes, relative to the present existing conditions of the roads, also as to the interest taken in keeping up the roads. A couple of duck hunters from Wolcott will have to rate their fun pretty high this week to come out even, financially speaking, for it seems they have been experiencing an unlimited amount of trouble. They nad been in the vicinity of Roselawn hunting, upset their boat in deep water, lost their guns and decoys, including a pair of borrowed wild geese, besides getting their wearing paraphernalia damp. It was the lost geese that seemed to be the source of great worry and they sought to replace them by telephoning to Squire Bus Sell for a pair, but as he refused them, they went to see John McDonald west of Monon. It is quite unlikely, however, that they will be fortunate enough to secure a pair at this time of year, as it is the mating season and no one cares to part with their geese.

One Joseph Conway, a resident of Parr, with a good moral character, and C. A. Gundy of this place, in the same class (so the application says), propose to sell nourishment to a starving community the coming year. Wake up, good people, rally to the front if you think more of God, home and country than you do of the saloon. Show your colors, God says, “Who bath woe, who hath sorrows, who hath contention, who hath babbling, who hath wounds without cause, who hath redness of the eyes? They that tarry long at the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine. At last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder; woe unto him that giVeth his neighbor dyiuk, tnat putteth the bottle to his'lips and maketh him drunken.” Also Christ says: "No drunkard shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” If you del nothing to keep the bottle away from your brother you help to put it to' his Hps. God. says you can not serve two masters.
