According to experts, there is some

The Daughter of Gen. Morgan.
From the Louisville, KY, Commercial.

from the LOUISVILLE, KY, Commercial.
Miss Johnnie Morgan, the Generals
daughter, was the heroine at the Nor
gan reunion in Lexington. 1t did not
require a practiced eye to detect the
warm admiration entertained for her by
her fathers faithful followers. and con-
siderable time was spent in presenting
them to her. Her close resemblance to
her father awakened in them many of
the memories OF the eventful past, and
her sweet face, lady-like grace, calm and
gentle voice, as she expressed her great
joy at meeting them, stirred their hearts
and secured for her all the love and
veneration they once had for her father.
After paying ALLOWING tribute to General
Morgan, Orator Black turned to Miss
Johnnie, who rose gracefully at his
greeting. He told her that his COM
rades, who had loved her illustrious
father while living and revered him
while dead, haG accorded him the
pleasing task of conveying to her
from them q gentle token of the faithful
allegiance which her father enjoyed and
the warm admiration they felt for her.
