price to $3.50 year, but many OF our
readers have called in person or written
US, cheerfuIIy renewing ct the new rate.
II is most encouraging to US to have these
friendly expressions from the Registers
patrons, and We take the liberty OF quot
ing from some OF the letters we have re-
ceiyed. Their generous attitude makes
the huffness of some OF those who got
mad and quit right off the bat seem very
small.
Miss Jeanette Aglionby, OF Charles
Town, writes such gracious letter that
the editor cannot but thank God and
take courage" She renews her subscrip-
ton to December, 1918, and then says
this about the increase in the subscription
price at is wonder you had not raised
il before. II gives me pleasure to pay il
for a paper so genuinely fine-the best
country paper know. Take good care
of yourself and keep the Register going
to gladden. many OF US the rest of our
days."

with interest what your correspondents

our market is, they would agree that 81 80

Miss Anna Mayo Scott, of New York,
formerly one OF the most popular girls OF
Duffields, writes us: "PIease accept my

Mrs. M. L. Hickey writes us from
Philadelphia: Permit me 10 say that |

year, for it is the best and cleanest paper
published in the Mountain State"
We reckon we have the joke on Our
friend Albert C. Hoffman, OF Cleveland,
Ohio. Mr.. Hoffman wrote us couple
OF weeks ago 10 discontinue the paper to
his address, and we reluctantly did so.
Yesterday we got letter from him in
which he says 81 enclose money for
back dues and dollar and a-half for a

We are confident that there are several
who feel just about like Mr.. Hoffman
does, but they don't care TO admit il.
Speak up, boys come back into the fold.
We will welcome you as a prodigal son.
The Romney Review in this weeks
issue announces that owing 10 the con-
tlnued advance in the cost OF paper and
other material it is obliged to raise its
price from dollar year 10 dollar and
a-half. The Keyser Tribune, the Pied
mont Herald, the Moorefield Examiner
and many other papers throughout the
State have taken similar action. The
daily papers OF Pittsburg and Buffalo
have increased their price from a penny
to two cents copy.
