Master Emmit Morrow, about 10 years of
age, while out hunting squirrels with his
father. last Saturday, met with a severe acci-
dent, the scars from which he will probably
carry to his grave. He shot at a squirrel
which was on the ground, and from some
cause both barrels were discharged at once,
and the recoil from the gun, which seems to
have been heavily loaded for such small
game, drove it back into the little follows
face, cutting large cash over his eve and
breaking his nose and cheek bone. The boy

The Register Intentionally perverts the
meaning of what we said In regard to the de-
feat of Mr.. kist. We did not, nor do we
now, deplore his defeat. We have always
thought he would make stronger race than
the present republican nominee. and still
think he would, had he rec. fed the nomina-
ton. As for his not being candidate for
the nomination, that is all bosh; the contrary
is too we'll known for the Register 10 deny
it. We would again ask the Register if the
defeat of Mr.. Kist was a blow at the German
element of Lexington township "without
palliation or excuse" as 1t failed to give US
an answer to the question in its last issue.
Among the heretofore unmentioned at
fractions of the reunion was the parade Of
the fire department. Both companies with
hose carriages and appointments beautifully
decorated. turned out in procession the first
day. CompanyNo.1 was commanded byCapt.
Chris. Kist and Jas. Hays, and company No.
commanded by Capt. VIM. Golightly. The
handsome uniforms and manly bearings of
the fire boys attracted much attention and
( favorable comment. Their chief glory how
E ever lies in the fact that they can QIench a
+, fire as quickly and completely as any fire
| department in the state. Their efforts, since
organization, have been to make themselves
4 perfect in the use of all the means and machine
. ry at their disposal. Every encouragement
should be given the boys by the citizens and
: city fathers.
