HANGING GBOVE.

Two of our schools closed Friday and two Saturday and two will hold over until the middle of this week. Miss Ferne Parker closed her school Friday with an excellent program, after which a fine dinner was served. Dinner was also served at the Banta school which closed on Saturday. John Brannd of near Monon came up to McCoysburg Friday evening and will take his little son Dale home for the summer vacation. He has been staying with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Montz and attending school. The well drillers got nearly out to the fir. Moore Tarm where MtHardFross lives, Friday evening, and mired their engine in a quicksand hole, hence work on the well will be delayed until the outfit can be raised from its sandy grave. The well of water already there has been condemned as unfit for houseuse. Remember that the Parker school closes Wednesday night, April 7th, with what now promises to be the swellest program and biggest supper that has ever occurred this season. This will be a general supper and all the neighbors are invited to bring something good to eat and enjoy an hour or two of fun. Mr. Moffitt has the hull for his dredge machinery nearly completed and intended to push It into the water Saturday and commence installing the machinery immediately. The water has been dammed in the old open ditch and it is certain they will have plenty of water to begin with. Myrtle Lewis of Lee but formerly a resident of this township, is working for Reed McCoy’s. She Just commenced since Kate Maxwell left. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Lefler and daughter Francis went to Lafayette Thursday. Mr. Lefler will attend a meeting of the assessors.
