Show THE REGISTER As has already been stated in our columns, it is the intention of the management to make the Register a County paper, having for its main object the wellfare and ultimate growth of San Pete County. To do this successfully it must necessarily have the support and countenance of the people, and that we intend to get, if a faithful adherence to first principles, and a conscientious endeavor en-deavor to do our duty is an assurance of success. We ask the people to join with us and to take a pride in our undertaking, for it is ours, and if it is a benefit to the County at large to have a means of letting the world know what we have in the way of natural resources and otherwise, every citizen whether he lives at the extreme north, or the south, has an equal interest in the County and can feel a just pride in anything that tends to build up his home,, just as a person feels a pride in his city, so he can in his county and from that to the Territory and so on. There is nothing local in the"site" of the Register, no more than there would be if some enterprising citizens citi-zens of the County would start a woolen mill, or a tannery, or some other enterprise which would require the united effort of the whale people tJ make It successful. This might depend somewhat on a suitable location, loca-tion, but when once started it would certainly be for the public good, and hence would be in a sense a public institution and would merit public sustenance. The home paper fills a want not supplied by the metropolitan papers. It is not supposed to take the plat of those papers, which give us the current news of the day, but to treat of things purely local, and of more interest to ourselves than to anybody else. We ask for local contributions from every part of the County, so that our readers may be posted as to the "happenings" at home. We ask for a share of your advertising patronage, pat-ronage, so that in benefiting us you may bring your commodities before the market and benefit yourselves. We ask all who have an interest in San Pete County to regularly subscribe sub-scribe for the Register, read and digest its contents. |
