Bussell Thursday while she had some repair work done to their buggy. Some beer was seen coming into McCoysburg Monday morning in a common grass sack. Say! that’s near the limit. Eh? Mrs. Hendricks and Grandson of Harvey, 111., returned home Wednesday morning after a week’s visit with Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Erb. Rev. D. E. Noland headed quite a delegation of prohibitionists to Fountain Park yesterday to hear the main issue of the day talked over.

James Lefler certainly has the bumper crop of potatoes. Friday he took S3O worth to market and only dug Just a little out of one corner of the patch. Mr. and Mrs. Reed McCoy and Miss Kate Maxwell were in Chicago Wednesday. Reed went up to see the high buildings and look after some goods. Misses Ola Williamson and Anna Zabel have gone to Monon to work. Ola will work at Fairchilds’ resturant and Anna will work for Werden Donelson's. • Noble Moulds holds the banner on the oats crop yield here. His oats made 27 bushels per acre, which was the best report we have heard of around here. W. R. Willits has tfegn quite sick with a severe cold for several days since he has moved back to the country. It is feared he has ran and played too much. Mr. and Mrs. James Lefler and Grover Petree assisted Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell with their moving last week. C. A. Armstrong helped a couple ol days on the barn. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bussell and daughters, Florence and Ella went to Fountain Park Tuesday where they expected to join Mr. and Mrs. Searight Of Logansport for a day's picnicing. Dr. W. A. Baker and wife of Fowler have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. August Tigler for the past two weeks. During their sojourn here they took in one of the Michigan City excursions. A fine looking, dark yellow bird dog came to Geo. Stalker's one evening last week. It looks to be a young dog, probably not more than a year old or less. Quite likely some hunters have lost it. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Foulks have left the Gilmore dredge and moved over near their daughter’s, Mrs. Roy Williams. A little disagreement with their employer is understood to be the cause. One can get a sweet-scented smell from some buckwheat patch at almost any direction the wind may be blowing. Buckwheat is now in full bloom and also literally alive with honey-bees and a few “bumble hummers," too. it has been quite a littie spell since weve had any news from this corner for The Democrat. Well, 1 couldn't get time to push the pencil any for there was moving and housecleaning on hand, and its needless to tell you the rest. John Richardson and Mrs. E. Moulds came out to Noble Moulds last week for a visit and the former to look at his farm which is occupied by Mr. Moulds. Mr. Richardson returned home Friday but Mrs. Moulds remained for a longer visit. George Johnson has returned home from the St. Elizabeth Hospital at Lafayette where he underwent an operation early in July. It seems that a permanent cure has been affected and Mr. Johnson says he hasn’t felt better for several years. Chas. Abelgore and children of Bradley, 111., are here for a few weeks visit with relatives and for the benefit of Mr. Abelgore's health, he having been sick nearly all summer with typhoid fever. He expects to stay for the Home Coming next week. John Wilkins and Miss Carrie Rlngeisen were married Sunday at Reynolds, by the German minister at that place. Monday morning they took the train for Hammond and Utea via the Nickle Plate to Hobart, where the groom is employed in the terracotta factory. They will begin

housekeeping at once. James Smith of near Winamac, the man who fired the engine for the Frank Bros, last threshing season, was here last week looking over the clover hulling and has made arrangements to hull clover for this neighborhood. Anyone having any work of this nature can get a good job by securing this outfit. A ten cent medicine show struck town Sunday about 12 o’clock and pitched tent on the vacant lot west of the cattle pens. They are representing the Modern Remedy Co., of Cincinnati, O. As for the medicine part of the affair we will leave that for each one to decide, but the show is well worth the ten cents. Some excellent prizes were given away. Several of Hanging Grove’s boys have gone to the west to see some of the wild and wooly country out there. Charles Peregrine, Floyd Porter, Ray McDonald and Russell Willitts have gone to Larimore, No. Dak., and Chester Downs and Gaylord Parker have gone to Mitchell, So. Dak. Rußsell Harmon also preceded the boys about a week to Mitchell. l . The work of building Jonn Knopinski’B house has gone on very rapidly and it will soon be completed. It is a nice two story building with four large rooms and when finished will be much more convenient than the one recently destroyed by fire. Since their Borrowful misfortune they have been the recipients of many useful presents given by the neighbors.

Estel Osborne was visiting his parents north of Rensselaer Sunday, and reports that his younger brother, John is suffering with an absess on his left hand. The pain was so intense Saturday evening that a physician was called to dress the sore. John is sporting a fine new buggy now and was over looking over some of Hanging Grove one day last week. Word has been received here from some of the boys that went to Larimore, No. Dak., two weeks ago, and they say the country is flooded with harvest hands and still more going west. Wages are comparatively good but the working season will be very short owing to the drouth, and unless the boys stay for the ice harvest they will likely come back with more experience than cash. Mrs, C. C. Randle has a new idea for making a carpet tor Mrs. Knopinski who lost all of her nice carpets in the fire. Each friend and neighbor may sew a pound or two of rags and give ten or fifteen cents toward the chain and deliver them to Mr. Moulds, and when enough is secured he will take them to have the carpet made. A few have responded to the plan, and a few more will be necessary to make it a success.

Messrs. R. J. Stewart, Bob McDonald and Lon Manning, and Misses Hazel Drake, Blanche Cook, Mary McDonald and Bertha Cook s went to Fountain Park Sunday to enjoy a day’s outing on the lovely lagoon on Carpenter's creek. Just as they were about five miles south of Rensselaer, Lon Manning’s horse became frightened at an auto and turned the buggy entirely over, spilling put the occupants and badly damaging the rig. Fortunately though, no one was seriously hurt. Say, have you ever noticed that Lute Jacks, that hustling little supervisor at Lee, is putting up some of the noblest road grade you ever looked at? Lute has railroaded just long enough to have the right idea of a good road, made out of dirt when there is no gravel comeatable, and he puts his idea into practice, too. Hanging Grove has some surplus money, we understand, and our trustee will quite likely have some gravel hauled this fall if it can be found. The east side roads are now in fair condition, but the strip of road between the 1). S. Makeever place and Squire Moore’s corner needs repairing. Wednesday about 10 a. m.. one of Charley Erb’s little boys was playing with matches trying to light a candle by a straw rick only a few feet from the barn, cribs, etc. The rick caught fire and the boys began to hollow for help. The attention of the father and Arthur Williamson and Chas. Tubles was soon attracted by them, and they hurried to the scene from the ditch where they were working and found the straw in a blaze. Roy Bussell was also soon on the scene and the way they all carried water and extinguished the leaping flames would put the Rensselaer fire department in a rear seat. No damage was done scarcely save part of the straw rick. Had it burned the straw there could have been no hope for the barn and other buildings.
