THE CONTEST.
A Few Words of Encouragement ant
Suggestions to Our Reporters.

In offering prizes for our Report
ers' Contest the RECORD has had more
than one aim in view. We appreciate
the news, but it is not for the items
alone that we are offering prizes. At
the market price we are paying dearly
for the news items we receive. Our
great benefit will be derived in the
future from the education that these
contests will necessarily result in.
1t is a fact that the majority of the
grown people in Canon, both business
and professional, cannot write news
item in an acceptable way for news
paper. This is proven by the fact
that almost daily some one comes in
the office and asks the editor to write
out local or an ad. for him. 1t is
always cheerfully done but we want
to educate the community to do their
own writing and are willing to pay
them to learn.
The young people are doing remark
ably well, in fact better than many of
their fathers and mothers could do.
Already a marked improvement is
noticed in the writings of those who
have been regular contributors. 1t is
practice with observation that makes
perfect. In the way of expression
and composition the benefit that each
will receive can hardly be estimated.
THE PRIZES.
In looking over the list the only
regret the writer has is that he can
not mail first prize to all. OF course
it is impracticable. Several who have
not yet received weekly prizes have
good lists to their credit on the
Dictionary Contest. Keep this in
mind. If you have only two or three
items some weeks and have no hope
for money prize, send them in, as
they count up on the other list. The
prizes this week are awarded as fol-
lows, and the amounts have been for
warded by mail
First prize-Miss Fannie Stump.
Second prize G. Woodford.
Third prize Octavia Lambuth.

SYMPTOMS OF BUCK FEVER.

A Michigan's Mans First Experience
with a Deer.
A Marquette citizen tells the Mar
quette Mining journal his experience
with "buck fever" He had never tried
TO shoot a deer. and hunting them WAS
new to him. After spending few hours
tramping through the woods, feeling
tired, he sat down on a log to rest for a
short time. Now, like most hunters, he
had taken his pipe and tobacco aloug.
Filling the pipe. he smoked for time
without interruption. when, happening
TO turn his head little to one side. he
saw a large buck coming straight
toward him. As luck would have it.,
he had sat down to smoke near deer
trail.
The deer kept getting nearer and
nearer, until he got nearly opposite the
place where the hunter sat concealed
While the hunter was watching the ap-
proach of the deer he forgot that he had
"A gun. and that the deer was his meat
lie began TO tremble and shake in every
limb and joint and it was difficult
matter for him to restrain a yell of
fright. He watched and trembled until
the deer was passing his hiding place
and into the th;cket beyond. Then, feel
ing for his pipe. he discovered that il
