TOf late years one of the features OF
the holiday season is the vast variety of
excellent pictures in the show windows.
Cards, panels, and framed pictures
abound in a profusion that enables
every taste to be gratified. 1t suggests
how much of thankfulness the people
in general have right to feel that the
chrome art multiplies these objects so
cheaply. 1t is the fashion to sneer at
chromos. The oil painting and the
steel engraving enjoy in some minds an
aristocratic rank, beside which the
chrome seems humble, and worthy
only to CRAFTY the artistic aspirations OF
children and uneducated country peo-
pie. But there are oil paintings and
oil paintings, and there are chromos
and chromos. A goo ! chrome is vastly
to BIO preferred to most of the oil paint
ings which are within the means of the
ordinary purchaser. There are hardly
any chromos which are not preferable
as works of art to the very cheap oil
paintings which are offered in the
stores, which have no real right to be
called works of art. But the buyer of
chromos should exercise little taste in
selection. The uncultivated mind lie
naturally struck by elaborate displays
of color spread in profusion over large
spaces. To such person gaudy land.

PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT.

In assuming the management of The
REGISTER we recognize the fact that
while Il is q business enterprise, and
purpose to conduct II as such for reason
able profits, or at least compensation for
labor and care bestowed, it is also more
than mere matter of business. The
REGISTER, with Its past history and its
present relations to this county. is a
local institution, having responsibilities
to the people and corresponding claims
upon them. After nearly forty-seven
wears of continuous existence and fair,
though, perhaps somewhat varying sue
cess, 1t can scarcely be considered an
experiment, and we have a right to
hope and expect that if we meet the
proper demands of the people upon us,
they will respond as heretofore, in sub
stantisl aid aud cooperation to make
tho institution such as 1t should be and
such as is needed for the best interests
of the county. Our aim will be to
make IL o first.class local newspaper
adapted to the wants of the people. II
will be devoted to the interests of no
clique, or personal ambitions, and will
have no hobby to the exclusion of other
worthy objects, but will seek to pro-
mote all good and worthy enterprises
and ideas, especially encouraging those
of q local character; and we hope to
have breadth enough of idea and sym.
pathy to embrace within the scope Of
our discussion all subjects of interest to
the people.
With regard to political matters,
while to q large extent in sympathy with
the Republican party as the party of
progress and sound principles, we shall
endeavor to treat all with candor and
fairness, and never forget that our
mission is primarily local, and that
while the other party or parties have
no special local organs We are under
some obligations to them also.
1t is in contemplation to enlarge the
paper from Its present size aud materi.
ally improve its appearance and quality,
but the changes necessary in the office
material and arrangements will cause
little delay in carrying out our plans,
and meanwhile we bespeak your pa
thence. Whether our venture will or
will not be financial success for our
selves may not be of much consequence
to anyone else, but it lie matter of no
small importance to the whole county
that the paper shall meet the proper de-
mands OF the people for high toned,
ably conducted and respectable ex-
ponent of their views and local inter-
ests. That we may be able to make 1t
such, as we intend to do, we ask your
hearty cooperation and support, so
long as We merit 1t, and so long as the
public interests will be subserved by
it.. THE REGISTER Co.
