Dear readers of the Register: This now closes my work as correspondent and agent of the Register. It is with pleasure that I have endeavored to gather the news of our neighborhood, and yet I feel that I could not do the work jUBtice. I thank those who have kindly assist ed me by handing or giving me items of interest, for as a reporter, I can say that it is indeed a help to have others take an interest in gathering up the news which is always of so much interest to those away from home. Sometimes news items have been unintentionally overlooked or the reporter did not know of them in time to report, and so a little effort on the part of some, would greatly assist a reporter.
