night, followed by snow this morning.

The public sale season is now upon US,
and we want to impress upon our read
ers the fact that the Register is the best
medium in this section through which to
advertise. We have much larger circu-
lation than any other paper in Jefferson
county, and we not only cover this county
very thoroughly, but Berkeley also. The
Register goes into very large proper
ton OF the homes of these two counties,
and a sale advertised in its columns cannot
but attract attention As for the sale bills
we turn out-well, il is conceded that
they are the most attractive printed in
this section.
