List Of Premiums.

Spring time Is coming on apace
and in ordcrto encourage budding
genius and come to the help Of that
much abused class OF people known
as "spring poicks"we have determined
TO offer q list of valuable premiums 10
those who will write tho best poems.
. There is no trick or humbug
: about this proposition. We have al
ways loved originality and we have
high regard for the man who can
write original poetry. What man
has done man can do again and II
may be that the proper encourage
mont may develop modern Byron
or Moore. With this In view we
have decided to offer the following
.premiums for spring poems, not to ex-
Eeed City line.
For the first best we will give a
handsome illustrated volume OF
Ayers almanac for the year 1879.
For the second best we will give a
boxof second hand tooth picks-war-
ranted as good as new.
For the third best VIC will give q
receipt for making Sassafras tea.
We hope there will be goodly
number OF competitors for these
premiums, which viii be awarded on
the first day Of April Those poems
not awarded premiums will be auct.
