NOT AN ORDINARY CONTEST.

The contest for THE GAZETTE
scholarship is not an ordinary struggle,
and no one with a proper view of the
honor to be conferred by success will
attempt unworthy means to secure it.
A letter was printed yesterday that
should not have appeared in this con-
test. and THE GAZETTE takes this oc-
casiOn to express its regrets at the
publication and to explain that to the
hurry of making up the copy for the
printer after the closing of the polls
must be attributed the oversight that
passed it. Hereafter no vote will be
counted that is accompanied by argu-
ments against any candidate. Say
what you will in behalf of your own
candidate, but nothing against any
other candidate. More help has been
put upon the work of keeping the re-
cord of this contest and all letters will
be thrown out that violate the courtesy
that should characterize contest
between young ladies, and the votes
that accompany such letters will also
be refused count and held subject to
the order of the voter. No letter will
hereafter be admitted until every word
of it has been carefully read by the
Contest Editor, who heretofore has
trusted to his confidence that in a
courteous contest for AN honorable
prize he would not be compelled to give
to the letters that scrutiny which too
often is rendered necessary in the con-
troversies and contentious of men with
men through the columns OF news
papers.

veyed by pipes to every part of the building.
Hot water and cold water on every floor.

PLEASE DON'T DO 1T.

THE GAZETTE is compelled to re-
ceive and record all votes. This paper
has no right to reject any vote sent in
compliance with the rules. In view of
this fact, The GAZETTE begs its
friends not to burden it with ''compli-
mentary votes,' as the work of keep
ing the record is an onerous one and
these purely complimentary votes
simply add to the work and confer no
honor upon the young lady.
One gentleman sends in votes for a
number of candidates in one envelope.
This is very confusing, not only to
THE GAZETTE, but will be also to the
committee. All the letters and envel-
opes are numbered and checked in
several ways to avoid mistakes, and it
Is very difficult to check up the votes
whre more than one candidate is bal
loted for in one letter and in one en-
velope.
An observance of these requests will
very greatly oblige THE GAZETTE.
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-07-20

All ballots will be kept fifteen days after
the close of the contest, and will at all times
be subject to bona tide inspection.
Should the successful contestant be uu-
able to attend and decline for any reason to
name a substitute, then the next highest
shall be declared the winner, with right to
name substitute in case of ability to at
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 veritication 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 votes will be received for any mem
Der of the family of an employee of the pa
per. However much we may appreciate
the kindly feeling that prompts such bal
lots, justice to all demands this proscrip-
ton. The contest is for the readers of The
GAZETTE exclusively.
Where letter accompanies the order, 1t
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.

can be.
Since the foundation OF the college, eighteen
years ago its steady increase & patronage,

crossing OF two great trunk lines of railroad, the

TO PURCHASERS OF THE GAZETTE.
Much complaint comes from passen-
gers on the trains that the copies OF
The GAZETTE purchased by them are
mutilated. This matter is beyond the
control of THE GAZETTE. Dealers
have been notified that no return pa
pers would be received from which
coupons had been clipped, and pur-
chasers will confer a favor on THE
GAZETTE if they will examine
their papers, and if the coupon
is clipped make the seller exchange
perfect paper for the mutilated copy.
This is the only way to put an end to
the deception. THE GAZETTE cannot
control this matter, and purchasers
should not pay until they see they are
getting the paper intact.
