A Jar OF Money.

To be given away by g. Miller,
the price maker. A contest which Ia
attracting considerable attention Is
now in progress at the grocery store Of
G. Miller & Co.
A quart Jar has been filled partly
with corn, and partly with coin, and
bills. The amount of money is un.
known. So is the number Of grains Of
corn. With every twenty-five cent
purchase, the purchaser gets a ticket
which entities him to q guess on the
number of grains Of corn in the jar.
New Years day the jas will he opened
and the corn counted. Whoever
guesses nearest to the exact number
gets the jar with It's entire contents
which at least calculation will not be
less than $l2 or $l5 for there is that
much in sight.
G. Miller Il Co are foremost among
all the grocers with new and noveI
schemes for advertising and they
have fine trade.
