1srER will not lose an issue during
the holidays. 1t wilt GO right along
visiting you from week to week,
caring neither fof storm; rains, cold
waves, floods or holidaysi 1t is too
good for even one number to be
lost; and we know our readers will
be pleased at this announcement.
During next week our subscription
books will be overhauled, and all slow
paying subscriiBefs dropped from
our list; our accounts must be made
off and collections made; all this is
necessary to enable us to run the
REGISTER successfully. During the
year just now about ending, we la
Bored hard to make the REGISTER
the equal Of any eoanty paper in
the State. We have done our best
to make It good local newspaper,
that would be acceptable to all our
patrons. In this we believe We
have succeeded, for never in the
history of the REGISTER has its cir
EGlation been SO largs as it is at
this time. Our Advertising and job
work has been much largersfor the
year just past THAN that of any pre-
vious year. We see everything to
encourage us in the publication of
the paper. We hope to hold all otf'
present patronage and to largely
increase it during the coming year.
We hope to loose but few snbscri-
bers because, beginning with the
first issue in January, 1889, the
subscription price will be S1.5O a
year in advance; This will be rig:
idly adhered to, and no paper will
be sent to anyone for less price
than St.50. TO do otherwise would
be to publish the paper at a loss.
This we do not propose to do. IF
there are any who do not wish to
continue it at this price; they will
please inform us at once, and pay
up arrearages. Those who do not
notify us will be considered as
wishing to continue the paper, and
it will be sent to their address as
usual. We are thankful to our
friends for their patronage for the
past year, and hope to so conduct
the paper as to be worthy of con-
tinuance of their faF6rs. Now, in
conclusion, we wish all our friends
and patrons, and enemies; a pros
porous and Happy New Year.
