QUITE large party of hunters
came up on the Cordill Sunday
night to shoot bear and deer. Their
camp is located on Big Lake, on
or near the old Frisbee property,
about 80 miles from St. Joseph.
The party is composed of exper-
fenced sportsmen, who, no doubt,
will make record, which even
the "strenous Teddy" may envy.

LIFE SUBSCRIPTION PRIZE.

(ONSIDERABLE interest has been mani

were searched, drawers ransacked and old docu-

ship would win the prize on the date of Sept. Z,
1871.
William Hassinger of Franklin township pre-
sented a copy of the Posi- under date of Dec 2,
1869, but as it contained no name, it raised a
doubt whetherit could be considered or not. That
doubt has been dispelled by the proof of an
older date.
Last Friday William II. Boyer of Kreamer
presented series of receipts covering the period
from Nov. II, 1867 to Dec. II, 1871. As this
was the Oldest date proven and the contest, ac-

Pa. He will now receive the Posr as long as
he lives without any futher charge.
We hope he may live long time to enjoy the
prize.
n notable observance in connecting with this
contest was the fact that AL. of them received the
Posi- for longer time than anyone was able to
prove.
We regret very much that contestants were
not able to prove their dates back to the very
beginning This contest has revealed the fact
that hundreds of the subscribers of the Posi-
have received it continuously for thirty years
and quite great many for forty years aud
few e en longer than that.
This subscription was offered for nothing
more less than to satisfy little curiosity of
the editor to learn just what has been revealed
and is here given, namely to learn to what extent
the old and steadfast friends of the Posi- have
retained their fidelity, love and patronage to the
one paper whose course has been long and honor
able and whose progressive and aggressive meth
ods have been able not only to hold the old, stead
fast aud true friends, but have been able to pene-
trate the bosoms ola younger class of people
whose ambitionsare still young and whose destiny
the future refuses to reveal.
For half a century the Posi- has been Il guild
ing star and leader of thought and opinions in
this community and today stands at the head of
its class OF county journals. With its large corps
of correspondents the news of the entire county
is gathered and published and every reader is
served with large and wholesome dish of news
each week.
To the old friends, we must say that we feel
sorry that we can not give you all life subscrip-
tons. To the younger and more hopeful of our
readers we desire to say that your future is still
before you and as the Posi- has been guiding
star for your fathers and grandfathers and as
the spirit Of modern progress has invaded its
management, your footsteps will be guided a.
right when you are directed by the lead of the
PosT.
