The officials of the Ohio River
and X. & NJ. Railways deserve the
thanks OF the people of this town,
for cutting off the stations in the
regions infected with smallpox.
1t will do much toward preventing
the spread of the desease. On be-
half our people we return thanks to
these roads.

The SMALL. Pox.-There is still
much excitement in this place over
the smallpox at Mason City and
Pomeroy bend. No cases have de-
veloped in this place, thanks to the
prompt action of our Board of
Health and the town authorities.
The town is now quarantined
against the Pomeroy bend from
West Columbia to Letart, and trains
and boats are not permitted to stop
at this place if they stop at any of
the prescribed towns, and also,
against Flat Rock, on the Clarks-
burg road. This road is guarded
by police, as is also the depots,
wharves and ferry landings, and
no persons will be allowed to enter
this town from any of these places;
and if they do get into town they
will be taken to the pest house and
quarantined for the period of twenty
one days. All persons who got into
town before the quarantine was de-
clared, are quarantined and not per-
mitted to leave their premises, and
no one allowed to enter any quaran-
tined house. Every prccaution is
taken to keep the disease out of
the town, and it looks now as if the
efforts of our officers to protect our
people from this loathsome disease,
will be successful. But should it
get foot hold in this place, the
REGISTER will not hesitate to impart
the information to the world, for we
do not believe it is right to hide
such calamity from the public.
While quarantine will W. rk hard
ship upon many people, it is better
to bear this Inconvenience than it
is to be afflicted with such terri
Bile disease as smallpox.
Let the people assist our Board
of Health by cleaning up and dis
injecting their premises and use
lime freely; and also see to it that
every member of your family is
vaccinated with pure virus.
The following notice of quaran-
tine has been issued by our local
Board of Health.
WHEREAS, At a meeting of tho
Board of Health of the town of Point
Pleasant, w. Va, held on the Bird
day of June, 1892, the following
action was taken:
On account of the prevalence of

hereby serve notice. that the town
of Point Pleasant, w. Va, is quar-
antined against all towns on the

and from Letart TO Gallipolis, inclu.

Reports from various localities in
dictate that there will be first-rate
crop of wheat, and some farmers say
that they have never had better
stand. The wheat is out in full
head now. But the farmers in the
upper portion of the county fear
that they will not be able to get
hands to harvest their crops, be-
cause of the smallpox and the rigid
quarantine imposed by the different
localities.

With this issue We commence the
5lst year of the REGISTER under our
management. Thirty years ago,
right in the midst of the great civil
war then raging, we purchased an
old printing Office in this place, and
commenced the publication of the
REGISTER, and from that time to
this day it has been regular visitor
to It's patrons in this and adjacent
counties The REGISTER has not
made a great deal of money for the
proprietor, neither have we grown
rich at the business, but we have
managed by hard work to keep it
floating along, hoping for the best.
The paper, when first started, was
small affair; printed from old
worn out type, and with rickety
old hand press. We have improved
It from time to time, as our means
would admit, untiIit has reached its
present handsome size and form,
using good type and printing it on a
Campbell cylinder press. We may
not have the ablest paper in the
State, but we do claim to have tho
eleanest and neatest printed paper
in the State. 1t is our intention to
make other improvements in the
REGISTER during the year, and if
our patronage will justify the out
lay, to increase it to nine column
folio or a seven column quarto.
The REGISTER has never had the
support from the Democrats of this
county that it was entitled to. 1t
certainly was deserving of their
support for it has always been true
and loyal to the party, and has been
free from quarrels with its party
and its leaders. Now, as we are
commencing a new year, we hope
every Democrat in the county will
enroll his name as a subscriber to
the REGISTER. A few business men
in this place have been good adver-
tisers, but number of business men
withhold their patronage from this
and the other county papers, because
they profess to believe that advcr-
Using does no good. Some OF them
are beginning to find out that they
cannot do business without making
it known to the public through the
columns of a newspaper.
TO those who have SO literally
patronized this paper during the
past and former years, we return
our thanks, and by fair dealing and
courteous treatment hope to merit
continuance of the same.
We ask our Democratic friends
throughout the county to put forth
their efforts toward increasing the
circulation of the REGISTER. See to
it that every Democrat in your
neighborhood becomes a subscriber
to this paper; and if any of our
Democratic or Republican friends
have adxcrtisingor job work to be
done, we respectfully invite them
to bring it to this office.

A SUPERB SURPRIsE.-On last
Wednesday evening twelve couples
of the society people of this place
assembled at the beautiful home OF
Capt. Armstrong, in Ellinipsico, in
honor of the anniversary of Miss
Sallie's birth. Notwithstanding the
fact that she was taken by surprise,
every one was entertained in the
best of style, and the evening was
one of the most pleasant ever spent.
The gentlemen had, before going,
made arrangements with Smiths
Orchestra to be present, and the
music furnished was excellent. The
Misses acknowledges, of Wheeling,
who have been the guests of the
family for the past two weeks,
helped to enliven the merry party
and cause each one paesent to feel
that no time in life was so enjoyable
as that spent in the society of ladies
of culture. Dancing was inaugu-
rated early in the evening and con-
tinued until a late hour, and we
doubt very much if those present
ever spent an evening quite as
pleasant before. The numerous nice
compliments paid Miss Sarah, and
the hearty congratulations rendered,
were only excelled by the grace in
which they were received. Each
one in turn then babe Miss Sarah
and her guests good night, fully
conscious that the surprise they
worked was overshadowed by the
delightful manner in which they
were entertained.

cents, with a proper reduction for

On "Wednesday last tho -.

On Wednesday last the panto-

The pantomime is exceedingly diff.

rendering, but a great deal of pa.
tient labor in preparation; aud it
speaks highly for the talented younp
people who, under the management
of Mrs. Downtain. of Winfield, pre-
scented the piece, that their acting
was so clever and sympathetic that
the movement was without jar, and
life-like.
AT the close of the representation,
which lasted fifty minutes, much
fun and some profit resulted from
the selling of the performers. N.
B,-The sale was only conditionally
effective.
Elegant refreshments were also
served and. weather considered, the
affair was financial success. $50
