taught to look for its daily visits.
We have tried to chronicle faith
fully and truly the events of the

good concerning our friends the
Daily Register was sure to have it.
If there was ever anything unkind
to say the Daily Register never
found it out.
But the mutations of Providence
will change the plans of all. Man
is mortal; SO are the institutions
of man. The late editor of this
paper, who lived for and loved his
fellow man, is dead. His death
and the settlement of his estate
has made necessary certain changes
in the business of this paper.
Pending these arrangements, after
June 80 the Daily Register will be
discontinued. Some time in the
near future the Register may re-
sumo it's daily visits. In the mean
time the Weekly Register, which
has for forty years been an honored
guest of thousands of West Vir-
ginia homes, will take its place.
Some changes may be made in
the form and style of the paper, as
it is our intention to enlarge it,
but we promise our patrons that
we will continue what we have al.
ways been, the leading paper in
Southern West Virginia.

will make an equitable settlement.
