The editor Of this paper, who has
been away from home for the past
two weeks, will be at his post again
with the nextissue. lie desires to
return his thanks to his worthy and
talented young legal friend, J. W, c.
Armstrong, Esq, for the able manner
in which he has conducted the edito-
rial department Of the Register for the
three last issues, including the pres
ent one. Chap has shown himselfto
be ready writer. We hope he may,
in the not very far future, become a
permanent member of the editorial
fraternity. He was certainly cut
out for an editor. We also congrat-
ulate the boys in the Office for the ex-
cellent mechanical skill displayed on
the paper, each issue. The press
work on the Register received the
praise of all the printers in Wheel
ing.
PERsoNAI.-Hon. John E. Kenna
will accept our thanks for a copy of
the Electoral count and the Proceed
ings of The the Electoral Commission.
This will supply us with Sunday
reading for some time.
Judge Van Matro is now in Cincin-
natl buying his goods. Keep your
orders for Sam.
Our esteemed friend Mahlon K.
Rodgers, Inspector of Hulls, reports
business in good condition.
Frank W. sisson aud wife are on a
visit to the "Queen City," of the
West.
The good looking Steward on the
Str. Chesapeake, is happy. He says
his daughter weighs nine pounds.
Rev. I. II. Lacy has returned from
his trip to the city of Boston. We
made mistake in last week Register
in announcing his appointment for
Hartford city. 1t should have read
the 9Th of November instead Of the
9th,
General McCuusland returned last
Sunday from his visit to st. Louis.
Henry ]. Fisher, Jr., is attending
the County Court of jackson county.
Capt, j. B. Morgan of Putnam
County, was in town last week. The
Captain is a clever gentleman and a
good looking one, We are always
glad to see him.
We learn from the Putnam Demo
crut that Jas. II. Nash, of Winfield
has formed, a law partnership with
our friend Capt w. r, Gum, of the
Mason County bar. We have not
the pleasure Of an acquaintance with
Mr.. Nash, but we can assure those
who have business in the courts of
Putnam county, that W, R, Gum is
Il lawyer in every sense of the word,
aud a perfect gentleman.
Oar young friend Chas. E. McCul-
loch has just returned from Lexing-
ton KY, where he purchased some
fine stock; several of our large stock
raiscrs did likewise. 1t will not be
long until Mason county will have
the lead in this State for fine stock.
We learn that the Town Council
ut its last meeting, ordered a stone
crossing on the South side of First
street near the residence Of Mrs,
ElooG. The council also ordered the
pavement on the East side Of Main
street, from Second to Third streets,
to be rebuilt at the expense of the
property holders abutting theron.
This is commendable in the city au.
thorities. We are glad they have
got out of the old groove, requiring
one man to pay for the improvement
of others property. The new rule
makes property pay for its own i'm
provcments.
Remember that our County Court
convenes on the third Monday in
this month, and that any of our de-
linqucnts who can pay us anything
at that time, or sooner, will favor us
greatly
