HANGING GROVE.

Miss Anna Zabel is working at M. Ringeisen’s this week. John Molitor is working for Q. W. Bond for a few days. Miss Dora Phillips visited relatives at Morocco last week. Editor Healey’s letter concerning his trip and the naval maneuvers in the east is exceedingly Ihteresting. Hope he can furnish us with one similar to it each week. The rain last Sunday kept people from attending Sunday school at Parker as was intended, so next Sunday was decided on to fresh up the Sunday school movement at that place. • ' ■ ■ : The east side received much more rain Sunday afternoon than did the west side and in some places a few oats were blown down. Wheat is ripening very fast the past few days and will soon be ready to cut. A man from Mexico is canvassing the country securing subscribers for a state map, to be published and delivered to the people this fall providing enough subscribers could be secured. The map will be about three feet long, mounted on a roller instead of common eyelet to hang it up by. The counties, townships, cities, towns, section lines, etc., are to be plainly marked on the map.

S. B. Moffitt is here from North Dakota to see his son, Clayton. The ( dredge is at a standstill now, and is likely to be for a few days longer. It is their intention now to float over the rock bed, providing enough water can be pumped into the channel, but as the natural water course is in the wrong direction, it will be no easy matter to float the hull. An engine was run out to the ditch Monday to do the pumping.
