cess in their new enterprise
c. W. Young, Esq, Proprietor Of
the sehon Coal Works, at Hartford
City; is about to put two of the Lech-
ner Coal Cutting Machines into his
mines. In addition he will have a
boiler and air compressor to furnish
these machines with power. These
two machines have the capacity Of
cutting out 10000 bushels OF coal per
day, and it will take some thirty
men to attend them and remove the
coal. Charley is an enterprising
young man and deserves success. We
will give fuller description of these

The name of the Maine Standard,
published by Manly Il. Pike & Co.,
Augusta, Maine, has been changed to
that of "The New Age" We don't
like the change at all, because weare
attached to the old name of "Stand-

success under its new name. This
paper has been on our exchange list
for number of years, and is one of
the best papers we get, 1t is "Dem-
ocratic at all times and under all cir
cumstances." Keep the New Age"
coming.
About June next the Register Office
will be found in the building just
above J. B. Tippett's store. The
room is now being fitted up express

fee. We will then haze a neat,
cozy room on the first floor. When
we get moved up there we would like
to have our friends call and see us.
The latch-string will always be out.
The Register has now the largest
lis! of subscribers ever attained by
any paper published in the county.
1t could be increased considerably if
our friends would take hold of the
matter throughout the county. In
clubs of ten the Register will be fur
nished at one dollar per year, per
copy, in advance. Get up club.
