HANGING GROVE.

Miss Ethel Parker visited Saturday and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Bussell!

Lewis Hooker had a fine big cow seriously injured a few days ago by coming in contact with a sharp board penetrating her body several inches.

Isaac Parcels has his sale billed for Mar. 13, general sale of stock, machinery and household goods. Isaac is still undecided as to what he will engage in the coming season but is thinking some of going down in Texas where Arthur Parcels moved early this year.

A useful shower was given at the home of J. D. Miller’s Saturday night for Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Miller. The young couple received many useful articles for thb home and a very pleasant evening was spent by the friends of the bride and groom. Trustee Geo. Parker has bought a new sewer for the culvert south of Wash Lowman’s. It is something entirely new, having a very peculiar shape and when once put in the ground will last eternally, and should the dirt be washed off of it, wagon wheels will have no damaging effect thereon.

August Tlgler’s little baby whose improved condition was mentioned in Tuesday’s news, took a relapse Sunday and for a couple of days the outcome was quite uncertain, however the doctor has the fever under control again and it is hoped the little fellow will get along nicely. The big sale at McCoysburg Thursday was attended by cattle and horse buyers from a distance. Some were there from Madison county. Everything brought good prices and everything was sold. The Ladles’ Aid lunch stand was also a grand success and the ladles are to be congratulated on their good management. They cleared $25.09 which will be applied on the preacher’s salary.
