HANGING GROVE.

Owing to the fact that the Republican went to press a day earlier than usual those items werenot used for the Friday issue. Supt. Lamson visited Gillam township schools Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Willits went tc Rensselaer Wednesday. H. W. Rishling helped M. L. Ford dress turkeys Monday. Marion Sands made a business trip over to Pleasant Ridge Tue'sday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Reed McCoy and Myrtle Lewis went to Chicago Mon•day morning Several thousand pounds of dressed poultry was sent to the Chicago market the first of the week from JlcCoysburg. Mrs. Richard Foulks went to Logansport the first of the week to see some relatives, who have just recently been under quarantine for a case of diphtheria. Mrs. Hattie Dean and children returned to they- home- in Indianapolis Sunday, after a visit with Sam Karr and family. Her son, Howard Dean, has worked for Mr. Karr the past season and will quite likely return here next summer. ; Clarence Montz went to Indianapolis Monday evening to accept a good position with a dairying firm, where he will have charge of the record of the outgoing and incoming milk cans. He stands an excellent chance of getting to be bookkeeper for the company. Clarence is a young man of strictly first-class morals and takes up his new work with the very best recommend. • Kidnapping is getting close to home when it occurs in our adjoining tdwnship, as in the case of the Dimon family. A number of Hanging Grove families are quite well acquainted -JWitb the Dimon family, and all seem to have a great deal of sympathy for them and express a desire to see the criminal punished. Just exactly the outcome for those who concealed the elopers seems a little doubtful in some minds. However they may have been entirely innocent parties. Miss Vera Lefler has accepted a position with the Rowles & Parker department store at Rensselaer to take effect about the first of December. Miss Lefler has won a large circle of friends for the store where she has worked for the past two years, as well as for herself. As a clerk and assistant postmaster she has proven most efficient. But just one more thing, that is, just how much longer she will live the life of single bliss is a matter of conjecture.’ . The play to be given at McCoysburg on Xmas evening by the young people will be a musical comedy entitled “Santa Claus’ time about 40 minutes, using 20 characters. If they are successful with this play then later on it may be decided to give a larger play for the benefit of the church or Sunday school. Mr. Noland, the teacher, has kindly volunteered to train the school pupils in their part of the exercise, and thus save' the committee much trouble. The Eaton, Ind., postoffice was robbed of stamps valued at $1,500 early Tuesday morning, also some cash was taken. The safe was not blown but the combination was worked, evidently by an expert thief. The Jobbers left no trace whatever, but both the federal and local officers ’ are working on the case. Two of our teachers, Miss Mary Sherry and Chester Tyler, are residents of that town. Card of Thanks. We desire to express over heartfelt thanks to the many neighbors for their kindness and sympathy during our late bereavement in the death of our husband and father. MRS. HARRIETTE ZABEL MR. AND MRS. WM. ZABEL.

Georgia Galvin Recital

Like all of Miss Galvin's programs, the one arranged for Tuesday evening divides the recital into groups of songs. The first group is made up of early ballads from the Italian, French, Scotch, Irish and English—including “Cornin’ Thro the Rye.” The second series introduces three French songs. Then comes a group of German selections. Following this Miss Galvin will sing, “One Fine Day”—an aria from “Madam Butterfly.’ 1 One of the charms of Miss Galvin’s recitals is her introductions to the Songs. Her bits of history about them or the story of which they are a part surround the songs with an atmosphere which .makes the audiencefeel at home with the selections during the singing. This feature is especially brought out in the setting which is given to the aria from “Madam Butterfly.” In fewer words than required to tell of her little talks, Miss Galvin sketches the entire opera and then she sings “One Fine Day”. The audience is carried away to Japan and listens to the song of faith with the same understanding as if it had heard the two hours of singing which precedes it in the rendition of the opera. The program concludes with a group of miscellaneous numbers running from light to serious and back to light again. “The Year’s at the Spring" is the final number of a well rounded program. Though Miss Galvin is known as a “Coloratura Soprano,” her art enables her to sing many different styles of songs as the progrom for tomorrow evening will demonstrate.

BURNS TOWN.

GEORGIA GALV IN, SOPRANO.

COLLEGEVILLE.

A number of students went to their homes for Thanksgiving. The list of visitors for the holidays at the college is exceptionally large. Some are visiting with students, others with members of the faculty. A. Spangler, of Zanesville, Ohio, has again returned to his studies. Early in September he had a severe attack of typhoid, but he has now entirely recovered. On last Wednesday afternoon general permission was granted to the students to visit the city. With but few exceptions the boys make good use of this monthly privilege. The regular examinations were held last Tuesday and Wednesday. This is the second report that will be sent to the parents and guardians. The test has proven the work of the students very satisfactory. geveral of the boys have been spending a few days of this week amid the comforts of the infirmary, but the Thanksgiving roll call found all in the ranks except J. Sulzbach, whose swollen foot will not permit him to wear a shoe. The regular beat of the stone cutters’ sledge is again heard. They are trimming the entrance steps and the granite door sills. They will also now cut the range work for the passage way that is to connect the college building with the church. A daily occurrence now is the zigzag march of the club brigade. The boys with hunting inclinations diligently scour the surrounding flelds_in search of rabbits, and not infrequently an innocent bunny falls by hedge or bush, a victim of that ancient method, the bludgeon’s blow. The basket ball team is fast rounding into shape. The line up has not yet been definitely decided upon. The number of games that have been played thus far have given the aspirants for representative honors sufficient opportunities to show their timber. The religious have had the best of the argument in all the games that have been played.

Card of Thanks. & The undersigned wish to thank all of the neighbors and friends who were so kind during the sickness and after the death of Edwin Hollin. MRS. E. HOLLIN. MRS. JOHN CARMICHAEL. James Bailey, of New York, a traveling salesman, arrived in Ft.

He telegraphed and received his money. r j We are. for what we permit Others to,do in our name as for what we do ourselves.

Sixty-Two Turkeys Slaughtered For St. Joe Thanksgiving Dinner.

The St, Joseph College tables fairly groaned beneath a weight of turkey and trimmings Thhnksglving day, for sixty-two of the mammoth birds Were served to the students, guests and faculty. Eight people were Seated at each table where two big Jurkeys awaited their onslaught and if there was ever a well-turkeyed lot of people the diners at St. Joseph’s were the ones.

George W. Infield Buys Large Colorado Irrigated Tract.

George W. Infield, the Lafayette and Chicago interurban promoter, who recently cleared up a large amount cf money on the McCoy MeCoysburg land, has now purchased in connection with L. P. Hammond, of Chicago, 18,000 acres of land in the San Luis valley in Colorado. Mr. Infield is said to be enthusiastic about the prospects of the country. It was there that Dr. I. M. Washburn has made some land investments. The San Luis valley exhibits at the land show in Chicago is attracting considerable attention.

Checker Tournament Results In Tie for Hill and Stephens.

A five-cornered checker tournament played between Saturday night and Monday morning resulted as follows: Frank Hill and Sam Stephens each 10 points, Halleck 7%, McFarland 7 and Thomas 5. Each man played four games, meeting each opponent 4 times. The surprise of the contest was the lowscore of Thomas, who is usually well to the front. The players have been indulging in a great amount of practice lately, and making a more scientific study of the game, and when they meet Kentland again they hope to be in better condition than on the last occasion.

Roy and Bill Grayson Get In Bad Scrape In Hammond.

Two more severely battered individuals never returned to Rensselaer than Roy and Bill Grayson, who arrived here on the 10:55 train this Saturday morning. They had been in Hammond and \ report that as they were going along a Street in West Hammond, the home of the powder rag, thej r were attacked without cause by eight husky men and pummeled up most unmercifully. The assault, they allege, was committed Friday noon, and they found it necessary to receive treatment at the hands of a doctor and a trained nurse. Each wore a big bandage over his head covering a black eye, and Roy’s other eye was black and his face so severely bloated from blows it had received that he was not recognizable to many of his acquaintances. The Friday Hammond papers contained no account of the assault or fight.

Objects To His Assessments For Opening Alley.

A special meeting of the city council was held last evening to act on a remonstrance of John Makeever against the opening of an alley through his hotel property. The alley has already been opened to his grounds and the assessments made. The commissioners awarded Mr. Makeever S4O benefits and sls damages. There is a small building on the south end of the alley and a tree near-by. Mr. Makeever asks for S7OO damages, $lO Tor moving the tree and the balance for the expense of moving the building and the value of the land. He claims the alley is of no benefit to him, as he has a private alley of his own. C. W. Duvall, who lives on the other end of the alley, has already cut off one end of his barn to give room for the alley, arid he was awarded small damages. It is understood that the proceedings for opening the alley have been according to law, and that the time for objecting to assessments has passed. A Winamac newspaper comments on the recent advertisement of Geo. Fate, the fat dinner man, in which he advertised a wild duck dinner for a quarter, and said that the reason he was doing this was because the people had treated Mrs. Fate and himself so well, for “when we came here we had nothing, and after serving all of these big money-losing meals, we have managed to have half of it left.” The Winamac paper says that reminds the editor of a man who' moved from Monticello to Kansas a quarter of a century ago and In a year or two wrote back to a friend that “when we moved here we hadn’t a rag to dur backs; now we are covered with them.”

There was a birthday party given in honor of Miss Pearl Wasson at her home by the James school scholars, the only ones present on .Jfpv. 24th. All reported a fine time.
