Journal Contest Closed.

The Journal voting contest to
send some young lady to the Pan
American Exposition, at Buffalo,
closed last Fridry. The closing
hours interested many people and
the clerical force of the office was
kept very busy receipting the sub
scribers who were willing and anx-
ious to cast their votes for their ia
vorite candidate with the hope that
they might be successful.
During the earlier part of the con-
test but passing interest was taken.
though many have watched, with
interest, the progress of their favor
lite candidate. The readers we'll
know the various candidates and,
during the contest, have spoken
most kindly of them as each and all
are exceptionally deserving girls
who could scarcely afford to make
the trip at their own exense. Miss
Emma Fitch, of Extra, is the sue
cessful candidate and will, in few
days, depart for Buffalo to enjoy
her vacation. She is a girl who
makes her own living and helps
care for her aged mother. and her
friends are very much elated to
learn that she is going to get to en-
joy the pleasures of the trip.
Miss Mary Leonard, who stood
second, led all the way through and
is especially to be Recommended for
her good work. She did work that
few could accomplish, as the result
shows, for with no one to assist her
did the work single handed and
alone.
