CORRESPONDENCE.

Hanging Grove. Our correspondent was sick last week and Hanging Grove failed to oppear Thursday. Many farmers are not satisfied with the prices offered by local poultry dealers, and consequently will dress and ship their own poultry. Chas. Maier is making preparations to move to 111. We understand Frank Overton will move to the Maier farm. W. R. Lee, the entertaining merchant at McCoysburg is hustling his home right along. Jean Smith is kept quite busy with bis work as mason and plasterer, and was unnble to meet with the demands made of him last week.

Misses Alice and Jennie Eib came qome from Rensselaer to spend Thanksgiving. “Prettiest girl,” “most popular young lady” and “ugliest man” etc. seem to answer the purpose, but are getting too old to be very interesting. Why not have a change and create a little excitement by offering a prize to the handsomest baby at one of our school socials. Mr. Potter has returned from his long visit among relatives and friends in the vicinity of Niagara Falls, and Buffalo, N. Y. Albert Warner has gone to 111. on business. He has sold his farm consisting of 280 acres to an 111. man. Uncle Stacy English has returned home from bis long visit in Rensselaer. Ihe result of the fertilizer used with the corn has -caused considerable disappointment among some of our farmers. The quality of the corn is good but the yield per acre is much less than expected. We are satisfied it is much better to have a little good corn than to have none at all. Boys if you want to see something unusually fine just go to Mr, Moores and take a peep at Walter’s goats. He has four big ones, and two of tha cutest baby goats you ever saw. Mrs. Jordan and daughter Mattie were in Rensselaer Saturday. Miss Ethel Pierson was home from Rensselaer Sunday. Wash Cook is on the jury this week. Charles Jones has been around looking up jobs for his fodder shredder. Those who dressed and shipped their own poultry for the Thanksgiving market, received good prices, and are well paid for their extra work. Some of our people attended the foot ball game in Rensselaer Monday and one man became so interested that he forgot the greater part of hi-s business in town, and we think it is a wonder he did not forget his team.

Mrs. Fannie Morgan and little son Vernon, and her sister Maud Fry, have returned home after a seven weeks visit with relatives and old friends at Barnesville points in Ohio, Why not our churches unite in a Christmas entertainment this year? If so, it is time to begin preparations to make it a success. Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Graves, of Morocco, spent the past week with friends and relatives in town, Miss Rilla Cox has returned to Fair Oaks, after a ten weeks visit to her cousin Nina Cox and other relatives at Chicago Heights. She is at present making her home with her grandparents, Uncle Billy Cox and wife. Latest reports from the condition of Mrs. Kight at the Davis private hospital, are that she is rapidly improving and expects to be able to return home before long, all of which her many friends will be pleased to learn. Several people from here attended the dedication services of the new Baptist church at Parr last Sunday. This ohurch cost about $1,200, and the balance of the debt, some S3OO, was soon raised at this meeting. One of the most successful oyster suppers yet held in the town was the one given by the ladies of the M. E. ohurch at the Kessler room last Thursday night. The net receipts were about S2O, and will be used to help defray the ohurch debt. The dance at Kesslers Hall last Thursday night was a success in every way. A large crowd was present and a good time was had until early morning. The receipts were large. Married, Wednesday evening of last week, Nov. 27th, 1901, Mr. Allen J. Gray, of Goodland, to Miss Stella Dewitt, daughter of Barney Dewitt, of this place. Rev. Bird, of Brushwood, performing the ceremony, The new bride and groom will make their future home at Goodland.
