The Missing Word.

The Weekly Constitution, published at At
lanta, Ca, has announced its fourth missing
word contest.
Ten per cent of the money received from
subscribers who enter the missing word con-
test during the months Of June, July and Au-
gust will be paid to the person or persons
naming correctly the missing word in the fol-
lowing sentence:
"WE HAVE NOT ENOUGH
AND ARE PUT 70 VERY AWKWARD
SHIFTS FOR WANT OF SOME"
There is not much doubt in the mind OF
the editor of this paper as to the word ex-
pressing that of which he has not been able
to secure enough, and he realizes the very
awkward shifts he is put to for want of the
same, but the point is to find the very word
the author Of the sentence used in writing it.
By special arrangement OF the Weekly Con-
| stitution, that great paper and ours can be
| obtained for one year at almost the price of
one paper. Not only that; but under our ar
rangement with the Weekly Costitution every
person who takes advantage of this clubbing
proposition, subscribing for both papers,
will be entitled to guess at tn he missing
word. All clubbing subscriptions should be
sent to this paper with each subscribers
guess at the missing word plainly written.
The guess and the name and address of each
| subscriber will be forwarded by us to The
| Constitution.
The Constitutions first 'missing word
contest" closed on the Ist of January and
but one person Mr.. M. L. Britain, hard
working school teacher, guessed the missing
word, receiving therefor check for $I,o33.so
Its second contest closed on the Ist Of March
