closing, in reference to our young friend OF

TEMPERANCE.

Wehave heretofore omitted to notice that
the proprietors of the Boonville Register
propose publishing paper devoted to the
temperance cause, if sufficient encourage
ment is extended to them. They have is
sued prospectus, and surely the friends of
temperance will not let them abandon the
idea for the want of patronage.
The editor of the Register has himself
become Washingtonan, and if he prove
as successful in his new, as did he in his ole
vocation, we will warrant that subscriptions
to his paper will have to be paid in some.
