Hanging Grove Items.

Mrs. H. P. Overton whose sickess was mentioned a few weeks ago, is still con fined to her bed. Jimmy Parker and Anna Ablegore are added to the number on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Armstrong, of Michigan, are the guests of Alf Armstrong and family this week. Our blacksmith at Marlboro, Mr. Dedrick, is talking of leaving us in the spring. One of our school misses attempted to punish a large and unruly boy, when a hand to hand scuffle ensued. After 15 minutes the teacher surrendered and the boy passed out unharmed. Another teacher in this township, however, succeeded in wearing out five gads on as many boys the same day, with no attempt at resistance being made. The last teachers’ township institute for the present term, will be held at Center, next Saturday. Milroy English has hired Jacob Parker’s engine and is sawing wood. J. R. Philips has his feed mill at Marlboro in running order. The mill is operated by Reed Banta.
