Owing to a misunderstanding be-
tween two correspondents of the REG
IsTER as to which should do this par
ticular work, the report of the Rems-
burg-Lemasters wedding failed to
reach US in time for publication last
week. We are glad to make room for
it this week, and to tender to the
young people most concerned our sim
cerest congratulations and good wish
es. Mr.. and Mrs. Remsburg are al
ready sat home" in the parsonage of
the Reformed church.
Trueman Worst, son of the gentle
man who bought Mr.. Ewart's ranch,
met with a very serious accident the
other day. He was working about
the hay press when the dOuble-trees
broke and the sweep of hay press
swung around and struck him on the
knee, SCATTERING the bone and tearing
the ligaments loose. 1t is greatly
feared that amputation may be neces-
sary. Mr.. Worst and his son had in
tended to return to Maryville, Mo.
next week had they not been prevent
ed by this accident.
A. l.. Harmon tells us that he is
making arrangements to enlarge his
green house to nearly twice its pres
ent capacity. His trade this spring,
he says, has far exceeded his expecta-
tions, especially the demand for cut
flowers which has been beyond his
ability to supply. He will make
special preparation for this part of his
trade next year, besides increasing
his stock in other directions. Every
body will be glad that Mr.. Harmon is
succeeding so well because he so we'll
deserves success.

Charles s. Gleed, of Topeka, Col.

whose honor McCOok Post was named.
has presented to the Post a magDifi-
cent stand of colors, consisting of one
United States flag and one Post BAN
ner. The cOlOrs are to he shipped
from Boston today and wi | doubtless

sentation of the flags, it is hoped, will
be one of the interesting features of
the day.
