Hanging drove Items. The teachers of Hanging Grove held their second Institute at Banta school house, Nov. 15th; Supt. Warren being present. Subjects were handled remarkably well by all teachers. The schools are doing excellently. The Literary at Marlboro is doing well. Our young folks are taking an active part in the literary work and all seem to enjoy themselves. The people of this vicinity have largely contributed funds for the purchasing of a new organ for the school at Marlboro. Mr. Heed Banta, our expert musician, will no doubt go to Lafayette next week to purchase. We all feel confident that Heed will purchase a good instrument. A fine daughter was the late arrival at the residence of Mr. Frank Handle; the daughter is doing well but the mother is very poorly. James P., Overton has rented his farm and is making calculations on leaving us in the spring. We are sorry to say we will have to lose the family of Mr. Kepner, as they will move away in a few days.
