and although she did not win the schol
arship we trust that the pretty watch
and chain which was presented by Mr..
Chamberlin will always prove pleas
ant reminder of those who helped her
in the race.
Miss Helen Poster stood third in the
contest and the manner in which she
took her disappointment added many
to her large list of friends and admirers.
Miss Minnie Marshall also made a
remarkable run considering the fact
that no determined effort was made in
her behalf and that she received nearly
six hundred votes almost without
solicitation.
In the county contest Miss Lille
Jones, who won the scholarship, is one
of the bright, intelligent young ladies'
Of whom Charter Oak isso justly proud.
The manner in which her home people
rallied to her support in the face of
what appeared to be tremendous odds
was in itself an endorsement of the
highest kind. Had she not won the
scholarship she could still have been
proud of the support she received.
Miss Jones has attended the college
before and is known here as one of the
best and most faithful of students.
The most determined canvass of the
whole contest was made by the people
of Kiron in behalf of Miss Lydia Ben
son. That the people of that little berg
should have been able to gather such
strength for the candidate of their
choice shows the highest possible spirit
of loyalty and kindliness. We know
that the people of Kiron will feel dis
appointed but they have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they made can
vass which was at once the surprise
and the admiration of the whole coun-
ty. They did everything'possible for
their candidate and Miss Benson may
we'll congratulate herself upon their
faithful friendship.
Miss Mccarthy stood third in the
contest With more than thousand
votes to her credit. Living out of town,
her friends did not We the opportun-
ity OF collecting as many coupons as
did those living in more closely settled
communities. Nevertheless her friends
were loyal to her and her record of
more than a thousand is one of which
she may always be proud. Miss Miley
OF Vail, was also one of the candidates
who made splendid showing. Her
friends too did much hard work for her
and showed their affection for their
ever faithful teacher. The REVIEW
was notified that large number of
votes We're coming for her on the
Thursday afternoon train and in order
that her friends votes might. he count
ed, special messenger was sent to the
postoffice and the last votes counted
were more than hundred sent in for
Miss Miley The other candidates
were all young ladies to whom the
prize might have been awarded with
out doubt of the scholarship falling
into any but worthy hands. They were
not in position, some of them, to give
personal attention to the contest and
the fact that they received such recog-
milton from their friends and neigh
bors is certainly great compliment.
AS to the REVIEWS snare in the con.
test it has had both its pleasant and
unpleasant features. The work of
counting the thousands of coupons was
no light task. but it was easy compared

possible no candidate obtained an an.
