Sorry the REGISTER was so misled by
the recent article concerning a fight IN
front OF the BURGESS Office, for there
was not word OF truth in two men
having an ugly fight 1t was simply
two little kids about half-dozen years
old being Kissed on bycsome older per-
sons-some who have children OF their
own and ought to know enough to try
and make peace instead OF trying TO
make the towns officers and its people
look little. Several similar locals have
b cen put in the Hagerstown papers of
recent date. It's very true our bailiff
got into some trouble with his neigh
bors and was arrested and fined, but
when persons who claim to be good cit
izens are always trying to down their
own town, why, its bad enough, and
regarding the weeds growing in our
streets, there are no more now than in
former years. Our streets have been in
darkness for few nights owing to there
being no one to attend to them. We
hope in the future that these persons
will try to speak well, instead OF trying
to down their home town.
