From Hanging Grove.

December 30, 1875. Christmas has come and gone. Plenty of mud and more expected soon, if not sooner. What has become of “Prairie Jake?” Many fat gobblers will gobble their last gobble between this and next Saturday morning. , A few evenings ago, as I was riding aloug the road, I heard two handsome young ladies coaxing a young gentleman to accompany them to chursh, but the bashful young rascal wouldn’t go. More spunk, young man 1 , ° . Isaac Parker, Jr., bas jusf returned from Cass county, near Logansport, where he has been on buffings and Visiting relatives —not exactly relatives, but his sweetheart. The protracted meeting at the Smith school house closed last Tuesday night. The meeting was continued some two weeks. The attendance was large, and considerable interest seems to have been manifested among the members. At an early hour, yesterday morning, the people of Hanging Grove might have seen Theodore Stires galloping over the prairie on his bay pony, and could have beard him shout at the top of his voice: “my son ! my son !” It only weighs ten pounds.— Theodore is the happiest man in Hanging

Grove.
