THE REGISTERS NEW DRESS.
important Improvement to "the Best
Paper in Jefferson County"

The Register goes to its readers today
in an entire new dress of type, and we
leave it to you if It isn't stylish and pretty
We have been contemplating this im-
provement for some months, for the type
that we have been using for a number Of
years past had gotten pretty badly worn
our press needed overhauling, and we
realized that the paper was not up to the
standard as to appearance.
Several months ago we began to look
around for new type. We wanted some
thing notwithstanding out OF the COM
mon run of country papers, and we spent
a good deal of time in investigating. We
finally found what we wanted at the Key
stone Type Foundry in Philadelphia, and
with the able assistance of Mr.. Brennan,
the courteous manager, and his assistants,
we decided upon full outfit OF paul
Revere" type. The type foundries give
name to each series OF type that they
produce. Some series of type are named
after the early printers, as "Caslon, "
"DeVinne," "Elzevir," clemson" etc. /;
others have titles such as Gothic, l"
clarendon" Antique, ""Cheltenham, "
and so on. The Keystone Foundry has
very recently issued a new series that we
considered very handsome and appro-
pirate for a country paper-indeed, tor
any publication-and because it is entirely
new and original, and for the further
reason that its utility equals its beauty,
we decided upon "Paul Revere, and the
type does credit to the hero of the Revo-
luton who was himself printer and en-
graver Of no mean reputation.
We bought complete outfit OF "Paul
Revere" from the smallest size, six
point, or nonpareil, to thirty-Six point,
the larger sizes being used for advertise
ments. 1t has been the custom of country
newspapers to have about forty different
sorts of type in which TO set reading
matter and advertisements. The Register
makes departure from this old-fashioned
STYLE, and we will use only about a half
dozen faces. For our reading matter we
will use eight-point "Paul Revere" with
the other sizes of the same series for ad-
vertisements; and in order to have some
variety, we use the several sizes OF De-
Winnie, Pastel and Cheltenham, perhaps
later adding one or two other faces as
need develops. We have thrown out
great deal OF fairly good type, but we
think the improved appearance OF the pa
per justifies it. We mean to have our ad-
vertiSements look more attractive than
ever before, and advertisers may be as
sured of good results.
The Register is proud to be the first
newspaper to use the "Paul Revere"
type, and we hope that the improved ap-
pearance of the paper will induce other
publishers to give more attention to the
mechanical part Of their journals. Thrust
be admitted that there is room for i'm
provement in West Virginia.
After much thought, and after consul
tation with friends, we decided to make
no material change in the arrangement OF
the paper. The general appearance OF
the Register for the past quarter Of a CEN
fury seems TO please the people, so we
retain the old makeup and have the same
familiar heading.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. Cheny
& Co., Toledo, o., contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces OF the SyS-
tenn. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure, be
sure you get the genuine. 1t is taken in

Railroad Matters.

HdIiTOdu WdttcTS.
Section Foreman Rowland informs us
that he has orders from the Norfolk &
Western Railway to at once begin the re-
moval OF the old railway track from Main
street, and that he will commence the
work in few days. He will also make
an easy grade from the west approach to
the track, on Main street, the present
steep grade being Objectionable to those
who have to haul loads across the track.
Other Improvements promised by the
railroad company will, we understand, be
made at this time. We have heard Moth
ing, however, as to when contract will
be let for the new station.
The N. w. Railway has made applica-
ton to the council for the privilege OF
connecting the switch just south of Wash
ington street. with that leading to Lemen's
elevator, thus making two tracks across
East Washington street instead OF one.
The matter was referred by the council
to special committee, composed OF May
or Martin and Councilmen Banks and
Welshans. 1t is said that the company
intends ultimately to extend the switch
from the present station to the Morgan's
Grove switch, thus giving it about mile
of double track at this place.
