With the removal of Sheriff O’Connor the most patriotic man that ever held office in Jasper county and probably the most patriotic citizen of the county goes away. And he was also one of the most painstaking and well qualified officials as well.

Major McCormick came down from Parr today having practically completed the task of setting the targets there, which was done under his direction. The big pit, 30 feet in length, and 9 feet deep, was all lined with concrete, and dried with the use of a stove in the pit during the coldest weather. Owing to the late season the target frames will not be put in the pit until next spring. The pit is covered with hay and the range house has been built and all the paraphenalia of the targets stored there. Major McCormick expects to come here in January to Instruct the company in sighting practice preparatory to the range practice.
