Talk with our Renders.

Talk with our Readers.
JAS. TORRANCE, our authorized agen, has
commenced his labors. In order that all
Misunderstanding may be prevented we
make the following explanations:
We intend 10 make out and hand over to
our agent all accounts due us in this county.
We need the money now, and we hope our
friends will rot be backward npaying.'
A large number of subscriptions expired |
two weeks ago. We have placed in The
hands Of Mr.. T., bills for the year just COM
menced, thinking that many Of our subscfi.
bers would prefer paying in advance to being
charged an extra half dollar forneglect. We
hope no one will consider il an offence in
US, as nothing Of the kind is iniended.-
Some who have recently paid arrearages
may think il rather TOO soon TO be called on;
but an examination oflheir receipts will soon
satisfy them Of The correctness Of the
charges.
We expocI our agent to solicit subscrp-
lions in every portion of the county. In
this work our subscribers can render him
much essential service. We trust their aid
will be cheerlully extended.
We expect 10 visit some portions Of the
county in company with the agent, not,
however, for the purpose Of soliciting; but 10
redeem sundry promises made at various
times privately and publicly, and TO familiar.
ize oursef with the tastes, habits. and wants
Of the people, that we may be The better pre-.
pared for our duties as editor. We should
be happy to extend our visits 10 every por'
ton of the county, if we had the lime tc
spare; bu. we fear this cannot be done a,
present.
| We feel tolerably confident tha, by the
exerliuns Of our agent, assisted by subscri
bers, our list will be greatly increased--per
haps doubled. We have many reasons 70
the hope that is in US.
/. We came to thiscounty stranger, ant
had to overcome many prejudices in ,h
; minds Of The people. Complaints reaches
f us from every quarter and fault.fnder
4 threatened 10 take us by storm. Many time
we lmos, despaired. Sill we continued ou
n labors quietly, overlooking many lille an
s noyances and discourogements. We bav
served probation Of two years, and hav
become tolerably well known. We hear n
/, more complaints, nor do we suffer the ar
d noyances Of former days. The paper seem
: 10 give genera, satisfaction, and has won II
:, confidence and esteem of many who at fir
g refused to have anything TO do with it.
e 2. The population and wealth ofthe coul
" has greatly increased within the past tv
g years. There are a, least fifteen hundYt
II persons in The county who ough, 10 take Il
d paper. Pomeroy only affords list of oil
re hundred II ought TO be increased 10 thr
10 hundred al least, and we confidently belize
', " twill be. Pcmeroy derives more advanta;
y from the paper than any other section of 1
county, and yet, in proportion 10 populat
ek and wealth, many other portions lurni
n more subscribers. In the town Of Irontc
er alone, about 400 copies of the Register @
in paid for. Some Of these are sent TO dislS
IS, friends, but large proportion are taken
10 actual subscribers in the town. Pomer
IN. can as easily afford three hundred TO /

on broken doses, We have said enough Tor
