Would you rather buy lamp
chimneys, one a week the year
round, or one that lasts till some
accident breaks it?
Common glass may break or
not the minute you light your
lamp; if not, the first draft may
break it; if not, it may break
from a mere whinl.
Tough glass chimneys, Mac
beth's " Pearl-top" or Pearl
glass" almost never break from
heat, not one in a hundred.
Where can you get it2 and
what does it cost2
Your dealer knows where and
how much. It costs more than
common glass; and may be, he
thinks tough glass isn't good for
his bpsinoss.

The Way to Advertise.

The Way to Advertise.
Now that the time for having pub
lie sales is at hand, we want to say q
word about the proper way to ad-
vertise them. First, do not slight
your home paper under any circum-
stances. 1t doesn't pay-not by a
large majority. We have known
men in this neighborhood to save a
dollar or two by going elsewhere to
have their bills printed and then lose
fifty dollars by not having bidders at
the sale. Cheap printing is just like
cheap articles of any other descrip-
tion-it is not as good as that for
which a fair price is asked. Shoddy
advertising can no more be depended
upon to give satisfaction than shoddy
clothing can. You may think you
are getting bargain, but you are
not.
The REGISTER this year will print
the most attractive fale bills that
can be gotten in this end of the State.
We will furnish them promptly and
print them correctly and satisfactory
ly. We will do the work at fair,
reasonable prices. We confess now
our inability to compete in price
with slop-slop printers, but our rates
will not be above those charged by
other reliable offices.
Our advice to persons intending to
have public sale is this: Go to your
home Office and get the best in the
shop in the way of bills and newspa-
per advertising. Then, il you think
circumstances warrant it, place an
advertisement also in some other
nearby paper where it will do the
most good.
And at all times bear in mind that
the REGISTER prints the best bills
and is the best advertising medium
in this neck Of woods.

THE RAILROADS.
What the Great Corporations and Their Mer
Are Doing just Now.


The year 1899 closed with another
splendid record for West Virginia in
the matter of railroad building. The
total mileage laid down during the
twelve months in our State was pol
miles, which was only surpassed by
six States. Washington heads the
list with 4s7 miles, then comes Penn
sylvania with 275 miles, New York
with ESQ miles, Missouri with 296 miles,
Texas with 232 miles and Michigan
with 224 miles. The total construc-
ton for the year in the United States
was 4015 miles, of which 100 mil g
was built by the Pennsylvania Com
pany.
The House OF Representatives on
Tuesday passed bill giving the Nor
folk g. Western Railroad entrance in
to the District Of Columbia. The
proposed line from Front Royal will
now doubtless be pushed to speedy
completion. When the new route
shall have been opened it will doubt
less leave the passenger facilities be-
tween Front Royal and Hagerstown
in pretty bad shape.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has issued orders that the men
in its employ must sever all connec-
ton with organized labor bodies or
their names will be erased from the
pay-rolls Of the company. The COM
pany is afraid that the men might
strike during the worlds fair next
year and give it trouble when bust
ness is heaviest.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company has placed an order with
the Roanoke Machine Works for
eight new consolidated engines, 500
'hopper-bottom" coal cars, 25 freight
cabin cars, two wrecking cars, and
two supply cars.
The Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company never had vice-president
until this year, when the Office was
created and Mr.. NJ. G.. Kennedy, son
Of President Kennedy, was elected to
the position by the board of directors
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
is endeavoring to purchase all the
coal land lying along the line of that
road. There is in all about 10000
acres Of the lands, besides 425 acres
already owned by the company.
At Roanoke last week Mrs. H. @.
Eckles was awarded 1904 % dam
ages against the Norfolk & Western
Railroad for the killing Of her hus-
band in October, 1891.
J. W. Skies, baggage-msster on the
N. & w. Railroad, travelled in 1892
while at work on the road total Of
rs, 1870 miles, or an average Of $500
miles per month.
Mr.. James Yontz, q well-known
railroad man of Martinsburg, was
badly hurt last week while coupling
cars at Cumberland.

such one rs does the heart OF hun
cry man good, and never was a re-
past more thoroughly enjoyed. The
substantials and Injuries were served
in tempting style, and in such pro-
fusion that it was only by the hercu-
lean efforts OF Tom Jones and Hess
Reinhart that any impression was
made upon them. The evening was
passed most pleasantly. and the guests
fingered SO long that the married men
had to devote nearly the whole OF the
following day to making excuses to
their wives for staying out SO late. 1t
seemed impossible to get away, how
ever, while Bomshsr Of Kearneys-
Vile had the floor, rs his ghost sto-
ries held the assemblage spellbound.
Those who were present voted Mr..
Schley the prince Of entertainers, and
resolved that once In four years was
not often enough for the election OF
Presidents.

DID, Fashioned Weather.

DID, Fashioned Weather.
Those persons who have been in
the habit OF remarking that we don't
have weather now like we used to
have, and who referred to the old
fashioned winters Of thirty or forty
years ago when there was sure
enough cold weather, now find their
occupation gone. Uncle Jerry Rusk,
who is supposed to manage things in
this line, started the ball a-rolling
last Thursday with snow. In the
afternoon the flakes came down for
awhile as though they intended to
bury houses and all But the clouds
got thin, and though they threatened
until Monday, off and on, the net re-
suit was only a couple OF inches OF
snow. That stayed, however, and
made fairly good sleighing where the
roads were not too rough. The cold
kept pretty firm grip right straight
along. Old Winter shook himself
Monday night and determined that
this younger generation should feel
some of the old kind OF weather.
A bowling gale swept down direct
ly from the North Pole, and, oh, but
its breath was icy. The mercury got
discouraged and began to shrink to-
ward the bottom of the thermometer.
1t got colder and colder, aud il per-
SOD Is to judge by his feelings aud
other evidences Tuesday was the
coolest night felt here in many years.
Even the run that goes through town
was frozen over. A mans mustache
would become an icicle in five min
utes. Ears would be nipped and
fingers would tingle in almost no
time. Alas, many q carefully tended
plant was frozen stiff and lifeless in
the snuggest quarters. The Their
mometer at the REGISTER Office
showed six degrees above zero, but
you can get any number of persons
to swear that the weather was at
least ten degrees colder. When a
wagon rolled over the frozen snow it
sung tune.
The Potomac river is still frozen
over solidly, and the ice is from ten
to fourteen inches thick. 1t is clean
and solid, and it seems great pity
so much OF it must go to waste when
it will be needed so badly next sum-
mer. All the ice-houses in Shepherds
town are chuck full.
Wednesday afternoon the weather
began to moderate some, and it got
ready to snow. A couple of inches Of
the beautiful came down during the
night. Then it took short rest, and
about nine o'clock Thursday morning
the flakes began to fall again. AT
this writing the indications are for
more weather.
