AN APOLOGY

The Register is unable to appear
in its usual form this week and very
little of the reading matter could be
set. The sudden and serious illness
of our linotype operator so crippled
the composing facilities that we simply
were unable to handle the matter.
We regret this. But we feel that our
readers, knowing the circumstances, will
be indulgent and overlook the short
Comings.
