HANGING GROVE.

Mr. and Mrs. Marion Robinson and Xffrtle Lewis went to Rensselaer Thursday evening. R, V. Johns and Omar Church went to Monon Thursday evening to consult a physician about some eye trouble. Omar Church has a piece of cinder in his eye that is giving him lots of pain. The local freight crew north threw off a box of matches Friday morning at McCoysburg rather carelessly, and the sudden jar ignited them and before they could be opened four or five small boxes were burned. Several persons from McCoysburg are billed for Crown Point Tuesday as witnesses for a young man in jail there charged with horse stealing The horse was stolen near Lowell Monday night, May 24th, and it is a positive fact that the lad was here that night and stayed all night with relatives. Reed McCoy was taken quite sick Wednesday night and was unable for duty Thursday, and Thursday evening it was thought advisable to call a physician in, who thought his case would be nothing serious, however, hf was a real sick man for a short time. Later—His case has developed tonsillitis.
