The piano contest, which has been inter-
esting, not only in this, but neighborine
towns, was closed on Monday at noon and
as far as we are able to learn, the result
was satisfactory to those interested. al
though every holder of ticket wanted
that ticket of course. Something over
two months ago, L. K. Krause & Co., OF
the Paragon" store here, placed in the
store fine piano and also in the window a
jar of beans, with the announcement that
with every fifty cents worth of goods pur-
chased, ticket would be given, which
would entitle the holder to guess on the
beans, the guess which came nearest to the
number of beans in the jar, would win the
coveted instrument Excitement ran high
and thousands of tickets were given out.
Three OF our business men, Geo. w. Pither,
of the NesCs; Postmaster Davidson aud
Geo G. Jones were selected to place the
beans in the jar and securely seal them in,
and the same gentlemen broke the zeal
and counted the beans on Monday in the
presence of the crowd. The jar contained
ten Thousand and fifty-one beans and the
highest number found exactly corresponded
and the piano was awarded to W. H. Lloyd,
of Centre Square.
