The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1879-06-04

Isn't il about time Bro. Tippett, Of
the Point Pleasant Register, began to
indulge in his fayorite pastime Of
trying to get up a yellow fever panic
for Gallipolis. The death Of an old
gentleman some six or eight miles in
the country recently would afford
him sufficient capital to start on
True, the man had been an invalid
for years, but I. need not mention
that for his purpose Gal. Bulletin.
( We start no rumors about the yell
low fever in your place, but last sum
mer when Gallipolis was infected, We
did warn our people about going to
your city, and insisted on our town
quarantining against you. You
were only mad because you were not
permitted to infect Point Pleasant
also. You lied about the disease
there, and no doubt will do soagain,
should occasion require. The Point
is beginning to get the upper hand
of the Gallipots, to some extent, and
they are worried about it. The time
is coming, and not far off, when Gal
lipolis will not get a dollar of the
Kanawha Valley trade. That hurts,

A few years ago plain white or
colored stockings were the only kind
Of hosiery worn. But the stockings
Of the extremely fashionable lady of
to-day are made Of fine colored silk,
covered with gay colored butterflies,
birds and even landscape pictures.
And the mode is going from bad to
worse. The Boccaccio stocking just
out in the East is pronounced by the
ladies as @just the thing" The pc
culiarity of this stocking is that one
is white and the otheris black. The
idea came from the stage, from a
comic opera but it is now the fashion
Of the drawing-room.-Es

1t looks selfish to see a bachelor in
an ice cream saloon, sitting, slipping,
never thinking, of the many girls
sitting, signing, almost crying, for
some cream to make them scream
AT first sight one can think it but
an idle dream, and things are not
what they really seem.
THE CONCERT Owing to indispo,-
sition in our family, we were not
able to attend the complimentary
Concert given to Rev. Mr.. Gill last
week. We hear they had a very
large and very enthusiastic audience
however, and are promised a more
particular account for next weeks
paper.
It seems to us that young men and
young ladies, sixteen and eighteen
years of age, are old enough to know
how to behave themselves while in
church. Of course we have no such
young folks in Point Pleasant.
1t is stated the ice cream crop has
been frost bitten-but it don't iniure

Mrs. B. f. Butler.
