no candidate in the scholarship contest but
our neighbor, Comanche, has one that
should be everybodys candidate. Miss
Ella Lowry is the daughter of a Mexican
veteran, gallant Confederate soldier and
honorable lawyer, a pioneer and 4 good
citizen. Her mother, a lady of refinement,
when left widow in a frontier town
quietly but courageously entered the battle
for bread, and turning her residence into
hotel has for years supported herself and
children, in which labor her daughter Ella
has materially assisted her from the time
she was almost baby. But what is more
important in this contest, Miss Ella is not
only industrious and sweet natured, but she
is remarkably intelligent, and would honor
our state at Hardin college. Let the Nfcxi-
can veterans, the ex-Confederates, the pio-
neerS the friends of the widow and the
orphan rally at once to this candidate, who
is so very worthy herself. inclOse % votes
for her. c. II. JENKINS.

1000 Votes for the Comanche Queen.

HAMILTON, Aug 11.--While heartily in
dorsing what was said by Judge Osterhout
in his communication of the 9TH inst, with
reference to her father, we who have per-
haps known more of her wish to add a word
for Miss Ella Lowry herself. Having lost
her father when child Miss Lowry has
not enjoyed great school advantages and
yet is one of the best read young ladies in
Texas. No mother ever had more dutiful
daughter than Miss Ella has been, and no
sister has ever manifested more self-Sac-
rifcing devotion to her family. To this all
who have stopped AT the Lowry House
in Comancha will bear witness. In the
hope that this notice will assist in securing
for this deserving young lady prize which
she so richly deserves and will so highly
appreciate, it is written by her
HAMILTON FRIENDS.

RULES OF THE CONTEST.

Ali votes must be cast upon the coupon
printed in this paper, elsewhere, and
no vote will be counted when 9TH
erwise cast. All votes and communications
must be addressed to the
SCHOLARSHIP EDITOR,
Care Gazette, Fort Worth, Tex.
The contest Will close August Il, and no
ballots will be counted that are received
after 9 p. m, Monday, August II.
Where less than fifty votes are sent in at
one time the coupon must be cut out evenly
and have the name of the candidate thereon.
Not less than fifty ballots may be voted in
whole papers, strongly wrapped, with a
tag attached announcing the name of the
candidate voted for, and the number of
papers in such packages.
Where letter accompanies the order, it
will be unnecessary to write the name of
the candidate on every coupon. Voters can
do the ballots up in packages OF any num-
Der desired, fastening them together if con-
venient, and write the name of the candi-
date on the stop COUPON or on slip of
paper fastened about the package.
All ballots will be kept fifteen days after
the close of the contest and will at all times
be subject to any bona fide inspection.
Should the successful contestant be IN
able to attend and decline for any reason to
name substitute, then the next highest
shall be declared the winner, with right to
tend, and so on.
Voters must accompany their ballots with
brief notes for the examination of the
awarding committee. The GAZETTE de-
sires to avoid all criticism, and just few
lines from the voter will be sufficient for
the purpose of verifcation BY the commit
tee.
Those who send in ballots will facilitate
the work of verification in August if they
will write on the envelope the name of the
candidate and number of votes inclosed.
No letters without votes will be printed.
Announcements of ballots take up much
space, and if THE GAZETTE printed letters
without votes its space would be largely
taken up. Votes count.
THE GAZETTE is compelled to close the
polls daily at p. IN. Hereafter, and until
further notice, all votes received after p.
II. will lie over for record until the next
day. THE GAZETTE must have some time in
which 10 prepare the matter for publication
