The Weekly Register has no equal in

It contains ~ pages of select literary
matter, stories by the most eminent
fiction writer's, the latest ts!egraphic
: matter, carefully prepared editorials
and by far the most complete West Vlr-
pinian and Ohio news service.
During the coming year the Register
will be OF particular value to the farm

will likely be in extraordinary session,
as we'll as the regular session. and the
regular proceedings as we'll as other
Washing ton news, will be fully chron-
