KIordiks Talks Of Christmas.

To welcome this grand event,
A tale to you I'll tell,
How the orange blossoms went,
Before the merry wedding bell.
The 17,h of December,
A cold and rainy day,
Found many happy people
To Cap Shealy's on their way.
They were invited there,
To dine at a wedding feast,
All things well prepared were
Both for man and best.
The above lines we're the prelude
to a most delightful day spent at the
home of Mr.. Cap Shealy.
Notwithstanding the cold wind
and some rain, MI. Marcellus Smith
and his best girl-Miss ALA Mary
Shealy-qait the world of single
blessedness and embarked on the
great sea of life together.

The bridal party attended services

turning to the home of the brides
father, where, it is needless to say
the table groaned under the grea'
weight of goodies.
Klondike may not be a good judge
but he thinks he saw the most beau
tiful cakes that ever adorned a nup
tial feast.

THE MOST REMARKABLE.
True Statement I:eCord-It is Made by
an Indiana Man.

He has spent $500 in patent
medicines and doctor bills without
being cured. One dollars worth of
Morrow Kid-ne-oids did the work.
Many OF our people are interested in
the story of Josephus Osbourn, who
lives al 92j jackson street, Columbus
Ind. Listen to the repetition of his
story and perhaps YOU will find YOU
have had similar experience: For
the past three wears | have been
afflicted with kidney complaint. My
symptoms were as follows: Fearful
kidney backache, urinary disturbances
and nervousness from which ! was

being greatly relieved in three days
time. Up TO date l have taken less
than dollars worth Of Kid-ne-Oids
and / consider myself cured. During
the continuation of my illness / have
spent fully $500 in doctor bills which
amounted to nothing. This makes
quite Il striking comparison which is
worth Your time and consideration.
Ny wife declares that | appear like Il
new man since my cure. that | am
more pleasant and agreeable and not
so irritable; Won NAV also understand
that cur hearts are filed with thank
fulness to lie relieved from this great
burden which made our home miser-

To confirm the statement of Mr..
Osbourn we want you to write him
about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids, enclosing

Will he glad to write you how much
he was benefited by their use. Do

HUNTER BADLY HURT
Harry Mitchell. of LaHarpe Suffers an
Accident Which may Result in
the Loss of a Hand
BY telephone to the REGISTER.

by telephone to the REGISTER
LaHarpe, December 15.-Yesterday
while out hunting with some friends
Harry Mitchell, the we'll known
hardware merchant, was severely
injured by the exploding of his gun.
BY some means the end of the bar
rel had become filled with snow, and
when the gun was fired the barrel
burst, badly decorating Mr.. Mitchell's
left wrist, and seyering the arteries
and veins. His friends promptly
tied handkerchief around the arm,
staunching the flow of blood, and Mr..
Mitchell was brought home as rap
idly as possible and physicians sum-
moned. The wound was properly
dressed, and the patient is resting
easy now.
1t is not yet known what the
permanent effect of the wound will
be, but it is feared that the hand will
be more or less crippled.
Under the circumstances, when if
he had been alone death from bleed
ing would have almost certainly fol-
lowed, Mr.. Mitchell feels as If he had
escaped rather fortunately.
