HARRISON STILL LEADS Standing Of Candidates in
 Contest. THOUSANDS OF VOTES Popular Citizens are Working
 Day and Night. Miss McLemore Leads the Teachers and MT. sweatt Leads the
 Clerks-Bufalo is in
 Sight

The leaders still lead for the Buff falo trip in The Advertiser contest. and the second best still hustles close be- hind. while the third row are slowly
 but surely creeping up.
 Gladden. Harrison still leads the pro-
 cession by a handsome majority. all
 though gains made by Police Officer
 W. H. Tayier. his nearest competitor,
 shows that he. too, has been making
 hay. E. W. Jackson and J. W. Davis
 have had a small force of coupon collectors at work recently and still stands a chance to spring a surprise ou short notice.
 The teachers are making use of their time. as the increase made during the
 last three days would indicate that all
 the school children in town have been
 securing the streets for their favor
 ties. Both Miss Kate McLemore and
 Prof. Phillips show splendid increase since last Sunday. Neither seem to have gained or lost much since the last
 count. Miss Alice Fogleman's friends have begun to come to her rescue and
 have landed her count in the four fig ure column, which makes her chances
 begin to look like business.
 The greatest change has been made
 between l.. P. Sweat and w. D. Mar
 tin. the popular clerks who lead the
 contest for the most popular clerk.
 This difference may or may not be on account of the one working overtime and the lack of effort on the part of the other or 1t may be the prelude to surprise to somebody next Sunday. However. there has been something doing" by this portion of the contest as the number of votes shows. Ralph Chastain has sailed suddenly into pop ular favor and nobody need be sur prfsed if he don't soon give the leao- CTS something to figure upon.
 Buffalo is in sight, the lights or tne Rainbow City can be seen to flicker lightly on the horizon. With a good ear the roar of Niagara may be heard indistinctly and the great iiiumina- tors may just be visible on the Pan- American tower. but oh! how many moke coupons will have to be gathere and filled out and counted before the real thing can be realized. before the train whistles for the station and the eyer-ready brakesman calls out Bul- falo! all off for the Pan- American po1,,lar TeacherS Contest.
