cheerful Greetings For The Register.

The Register makes its appearance
again, after its holiday week, and we
trust that its friends and readers will be
glad to welcome it again. even though
as il brings the fortnighi's news It has
to carry tidings OF sorrow and trouble as
well as messages OF good cheer. During
the holiday week we have been made
happy by the many evidences OF friend
illness from our readers, many of whom
have called to express good wishes per-
sonaly, while others have written their
sentiments. We have received a con-
siderable number OF new subscribers the
| past couple of weeks, and at the same
time we are sorry TO say that some have
! felt as though the increase in price is
more than they care TO pay or can aifor1,
and so have Cancelled their subscriptions.
We hope that they may come back TO
their old love-that they will miss the
Register so much they cannot do with
out it. We are sure that everybody
must agree that the publisher OF this pa
per is entitled 10 fair return for his la
Dor, and we can give positive assurance
| that at dollar year the remuneration
is not reasonably fair. During the past
week or two, in order TO economic and
place the paper or business basis, we
| have been compelled to take from our list

any disposition 10 pay their subscriptions,
and we shall have 10 90 over our entire
list until il is in good order This is an
absolute business necessity. II you gre
