The ShepherdstOWn REGISTER


The ShepherdstOwn Register
Makes its natal entrce fins memorable
morning with all those accompaniment of
modest expectation and humble assurance
which become phenomenon so new, YET
wthal so interesting, and to many SO
looked for.
After having gone through period of
cessation coniormable to its nature, and
corresponding with the hopes entertained
for il by its anxious parents and goodly
circle of expectant friends, The Register,
like other infantile responsibilities, is the
first TO announce its own advent and to
lend perpetual Illustration to the fourth Of
December, in the year of Grace, one thou
sand eight hundred and forty-nne.
Itmight be thought premature thus early
to announce what shall be its character and
course, but as it is very likely TO " take
after - It's progenitors in most of their lin
eamcnts and characteristics, no serious
demurrer on that head need be appre
hcnded.
First and foremost, then, II is Shep
bcrdstown paper, the advocate, organ and
ry0onent of all the interests Of this COM
muniry. 1t will do its best under the
guidance of broau, - ,encroUs ah>' o"''on'

4 is Register, weekly abstract and record
of the leading events Of the passing time,
in making up which its conductors will
exert their best judgment and most inelll'
gent industry.
TO that better, dealer, and redeeming
-,--.. half Of. ourrace- Woman, dear Woman
we shall strive 10 be especially attentive,
for without the genial warmth of her smile
and blessing, what enterprise could-what
enterprise ought to succeed The Ladies
will find in the Register an cver-sedulous
caterer, and we fatter ourselves that 1t

And lastly, having said thus much, the
>-itlea occurs that it would be well TO stop,
since it WILDE forgiven al first appearance
on the stage of being, if the Introductory
address is modestly brief one.
