I would indeed be callous did l
not feel proud of the honor your
partIality did me in awarding me
the prize in a race where so much
talent and worth entered into the
contest. To lead the van in a race
where the competitors were persons
of no common genius is distinc-
ton beside which the wearing
of an Olympic crown is an empty
honor. If any merit attaches to my
efforts, l must be permitted to place
1t to the credit of my many partial
and jealous friends here who en-
tered so heartily into the work to
help me by furnishing the items. 1
cannot sufficiently thank them for
their kindness. If Kully, Jeems,
c, NJ. W., or any of your host of
able correspondents had enjoyed
the aid of such friends. l feel hat
l must have been distanced and re
leased from the necessity for this
feeble attempt to express my SINGER
est appreciation. If my efforts con
tribute anything in giving to our
people a paper that shall contain all
that is worthy of note in our coun-
ty anil in making the CITIZEN what
its editors SO ardently desire-in-
to every household in
the county, thing that is already
almost accomplished-thep ] am at
your service. Gladly would | step
down and out if another would
take my place, but feel an absorb
ing interest in the matter that will
not permit me to see Lynnvllle un-
in the lists. ! desire
to state, however, that / will not he
a contestant for the $40 prize.
Gold has its allurements, but will
not 0e drawn into a contest where 1
may deter some young genius from
Go in, young men, and if
your friends aid you as mine did
me, you will pnt these editors to
sore puzzle to determine who is en-
titled to it, and though all cannot
get it, yet all of you combined can
make the CITIZEN more than ever
to the proud distinction of
being the best county paper ever
published in the South. LYNN.
