FROM HOGAN.

Rev. A. Blair, of Evanston, 111., prenehed io the people of this place on fast Sunday. The regular minister b/te ii.g an attack of the LaGr'.ppe. Alston Nichols, of Wheattieht, is plastering Thos. Joyner’s new residence. Mr. Beaman our teacher, a native of Pennyslvania and a competent school master is well liked by* both pupils and patrons of his school and we hope the same will continue. George Meyers formerly of Walker Township helped in the important debate on Friday evening, and we are glad to announce that George is moving back to Walker and we understand is going into business at Hogan. We would like to know why the American flag and pole is not to be seen on our school house as the law provides. Mrs. W. P. Woodward is very feeble at present. Some of our ladies are going to accompany their husbands and brothera to Wheatfield on Monday evening Dec. 2G to take a ride on Sir William Goat . They want to see Rebecca. R. E. Halleck of this place while driving on liis way to Fair Oaks in company with his wife and child 10 months old had a narrow escape of ail being killed while driving on the highway in Keener township just on the N. E. corner of sectionlG, there is a deep ditch and no cuiveft. The road being fenced in there is no other place to cross and as the horses aie spirited they made a jump and thro' ed all its occupants to the grounn and completly demolished the buggy. We wish that there would be some way 'of compelling the township officers not only of Keener but Walker and ether townships w see to it that the Highways are safe for the people to travel. H ’hat was a railroad culvert in that shape every one of those township officers would be heard crying to have the Railroad company prusected on account of not keeping their road in a ] roper shape for public safety. Whys can not Hogan have a Church? Gv/1 will bless the helping hand. Hoganite.
