Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1920-01-22
A CHAT WITH OUR READERS.

The Register has been a good deal
interested during the past couple OF
weeks IN recording the comments Of
our readers upon the change made in
the form OF the paper. Some of them
like the change and others saw thar
they prefer the old style, at least until
they get used to the change. Every
oody seems TO agree that the idea Of
using the first page for the most i'm
portant news is a good one, and OF
course they realize that there is more
real interesting reading in the paper,
whieh could only be brought about
by charging. We believe that in a
few months, when our readers get
used TO the new form, they will be
willing 10 admit that the change has
been an improvement
A youthful critic from another part
or the State sends congratulations and
says that the Register has more pep
than overland il always did have lots
of il. A Baltimore lady whose
opinion is worth while writes that
the Register of the past two weeks
has been hummer"
Mrs. NJ. Z. Martin, of Enterprise.
w. Va, writes: "The new Register
took us by surprise. We found IL so
grown up VIC hardly recognized il al
first We do not believe that the
change will make il any the less well
come, but when one gets thoroughly
acquainted with il there will be a
deeper appreciation, though we had
no fault to find with the old style"
Charles II. Knott, of Washington,
has this to say, as he renews his sub
scription: vi have noted with interest
your new style paper, and congratu-
late you on same, as IL is some i'm
provement' over the old style. Mrs.
Knott, ! believe, enjoys reading the
Register as much as her Berkeley
Springs paper (the Messenger), ex-
cept she still believes in the Repub-
lican party. Very best regards"
Leonard b. Koontz, of Washington.
writes us: 81 wish to compliment YOU
on the appearance and the large
amount of interesting reading that
your paper carried in the recent issue.
Ii is indeed a paper TO be proud OF,
and one that the people OF that Sec
tion should support to the fullest ex-
tent. The people of Shepherdstown
and vicinity may accuse others OF
profiteering, but they are surely get
ting their moneys worth when they

your paper. The Register has been
dear, welcome visitor TO me, as Of
