Daily Register. The people are
beginning to realize the worth of a
local daily, and if our patronage in
creases, in the way of business adj
vertising, at fair prices, we will
soon be enabled to enlarge the
daily to six column folio. We

the patronage of the paper will

their paper every evening ntsupper

dictions that old Mason county
will yet become the great oil field
of the State.

means would put some of it in

If we expect to build up this town
to position nature intended her
to attain, we must have manufact-
uring establishments.

fonts of handsome job faces, and
are now prepared to do CONNER
