Important Announcement

It is with considerable pleasure we announce that with the next issue of ïhe Register we shall begin the publication of a series of sketches of he early history of Ann Arbor. We have engaged Prof. Ten Brook to prepare a series of articles on this subject, and we can promise our readers some of the most interesting sketches which ïave ever appeared in an Ann Arbor paper. Trof. Ten Brook is eminently itted to write a series of articles of this kind, having lived in the city since 1844 and having been personally acquainted with every person of any jrominence who has ever resided in the city or vicinity. In addition to drawing 'rom his own vast fund of informaron, the professor will also draw from he recollections of many of the pioneers with whom he is well acquainted. Tiie articles will embrace an account of the founding and rise of the city's public schools, churches, state university, and other institutions. An account of the various churches and schools, including some interesting bits of history of the University, with occasionally an article or sketch partly devoted to a brief history of some honored pioneer who has passed away, or some well known character who, though still living, has retired from active life, will help to make these articles especially interesting. These sketches will very likely continue for the most part of the coming year. If you are at all interested in who founded Ann Arbor, and how it carne to be what it is and to whom is due the larger part of the credit of the city's growth and reputation, you will find much that will be of interest to you in these articles. Teil your friends, if possibly any of them do not already take The Register, and have them subscribe at once if they wish to secure the entire series of these papers. member that they begin next week and will continue right along for the larger part of the coming year.
