The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1895-06-26
FIVE MONTHS OLD.

The Daily Register is Five Months Old
To-day.
While the patronage of the daily
has not been what it should have
been, yet it has little more than
paid the expenses of publishing it,
from the start. Some of the bust
ness men who promised such liberal
support to it if it was started, have
not yet, put cents worth of adver-
tising in its columns, and some of
them are not even subscribers for
the paper, but it has lived this long
without them and without their
support, and we suppose it will con
tinue to do SO.
While the patronage meted out
to the daily is not what we were
led to expect, yet we are not dis
couraged, and will continue the
publication of the daily, until the
business men learn the great benefit
a daily is to them and and the peo
pie ofthe town, or until we are sat
isfed that the publication Of u daily,
cannot be made a success in this
town.
There is not business house nor
an industry in the town but what
should be represented in its columns;
and there is not a family in the
whole city, but what should have it
sent to their homes.
1t is now with the business men
and the people of this town to say
whether the daily shall become
permanent institution in this place
The matter is wholly in their hands,
and if they will take an interest in
the daily and give it their support,
as they should, and pay their sub
scription and advertising promptly,
it can be made u SUCCESS.
However we will give the field
still further and fuller trial, and if
we can keep it within the cost of
publishing it, it will be a permanent
business in this place.
The publication of daily is ex-
pensive, and is full of hard and con
slant work, that no one will appre-
ciate this until he undertakes the
conducting of daily paper himself.
There is one thing that surprises
us in the publication of the daily,
and that is that SO few people in the
county, take the daily. 1t is issued
at an hour in the morning, when
all tho mails are reached on the
railroads, both North and South,
and there is not a postofhce along
either railroad, that the paper will
not reach them the afternoon of the
day of publication. We now ask
our friends at every town along
these roads, who can get the paper
every day, 10 subscribe for it, and
to induce others to do so. The
daily should have at least 1000 sub
scribers in the county, ou side of
this town. 1t will give as much
news as the Cincinnati Post, besides
it will give you the local news of
the town and county, and is fully
as cheap as the Post.
The price of the Point Pleasant
DAILY REGISTER, is 10 cents per
week or % cents per month, or by
the year s2.75. Send in your names.
At a meeting of the ,tate Council
of the National Union now is session
at Moundsville, among it's proceed
ings of yesterday, we find the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopt
ed:
"ResolUed, That W. J. Kenny, of
Point Pleasant, be recommended to
the President of the Senate as a
suitable person for appointment as
Special Deputy to organize councils
in that portion of the State lying
south of the Little Kanawha river. ;"
1t looks singular that men will
invest their capital in goods, get a
room, open nice store, and then
sit down and await customers.
They don't come now a-days unless
you advertise and let the people
know you are in business. Try an
advertisement in the Register
awhile, and see what the results
will be-
Pete McDade has just invested in
patent street sprinkling apparatus
which thoroughly sprays the water
on the road and effectualIy lays the
} dust. Pete is progressive, or moth.
