 It is believed that this contest will attract more attention than any news paper contest ever presented in Ala bama. It will appeal to the pupils Qf the Montgomery city schools who. by preserving papers and sending the coupons to the Contest Editor, may be enabled to present their tired teacher with an absolutely free trip to the great Buffalo Exposition.
 The various stores of the city will no doubt, put forward their popular clerks. male or female, and the young man or young women who goes to Buffalo by virtue of his or her popu- larity will indeed have achieved dis tinction. Again. the shoppers, those who favor clerks in the stores. will have an opportunity to vote for the I young man or yOung woman who is the most accommodating in their daily business.
 Every class of Montgomery's citizen ship will feel an honest pride in vot- | ing for a popular fire laddie or popular | patrolman. No doubt there will be a good natured rivalry between the po- lice and fire departments because the proposition does not include a police man and a fireman. It extends only | to policeman CT fireman. The rep resentatve of one of these civic de- partments who goes to Buffalo at the expense of The Advertiser will certain ly be a representative of Montgomery, because he will be the most popular fireman or patrolman in the city. Ample opportunity will be given ev- cry one to vote, and the contest prom ises to be as warm as the weather. It will close September 10, and the three lucky Montgomerians may then proceed to Buffalo and remain as long as they desire. The railroad tickets will not be limited. It has been esti- mated that yhe amount of money, $25, which goes with the railroad ticket, will easily pay the expenses of reas- onable stay in Buffalo. | The Route Selected.
 The route to and from Buffalo Is one of the best that could be selected. The free railroad ticket will be from Mont gomery to Cincinnati over the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad, passing through Birmingham. Nashville and Louisville.
