The Sure Way to Victory.

1t is easy to be winner if you start
early and work in the right directions
Your first object should be to secure
new subscribers to the Reformer, since
these bring in votes faster than any
other way. Each new paid yearly sub
scription adds 200 votes to your record
Then get everybody you can who are
already subscribers, to renew their
subscriptions as many years ahead as
they please-each year counts you lOO
votes! Get all, the people you know
who advertise to advertise in the Re-
former and all those who now advertise
in the Reformer, to give you their votes
each 81. 90 paid for advertising counts
you 80 votes Finally, get all the cou-
pons printed in each issue of the he
former that you can, from people who
take or buy teach coupon counts
you two votes Thus you have four
avenues through which votes may be
made to pour in to swell your total fig
ures. If you belong to a society,
club or other organization, or If you
have friends in one, try to induce that
body to work for you write to friends
at a distance who take the Reformer
or who ought to take it, to renew
or subscribe in your favor. Above
all, get your work in early before some
one else CLEANS the field ahead of you.
The best of it is, you need not be afraid
to ask anyone to subscribe for the Re
former: for everybody admits that it is
the best paper in the county and that
every body ought to have it: you need
not hesitate to ask people to renew, for
everybody that reads it now will want
it always and be perfectly willing to
pay for so good a paper in advance;
you need not be shy about approaching
advertisers, for it pays to advertise in
the Reformer; the Reformer is alive,
and everybody reads it, and advertisers
know it. You have the very best of op-
portunities, if you will only take ad-
vantage of it. Report blanks and sub
scription receipts will be sent from this
office to any worker upon request

1t will be seen by the foregoing that
only Nos. l, 3 and had the required
number at least three) of contestants
necessary to warrant the offer OF the
two prizes according to our published
conditions. In order, however, that
all contestants entered may have
chance at the prizes, we have COM
bined the scattering entries of Dists.
Nos. 2, and 7 into new district
which we shall call No. 8 and which
will thus have four contestants. Dist.
No. 4, either deplorably apathetic or
already redundant of stoves, is totally
unrepresented in this contest, but
there are four districts in all, with an
aggregate of l6 contestants drawn up
in the final line of battle. Each OF
these districts possesses strong and
popular candidates for public favor
and rapid and lively action will be
necessary in order to grasp the coveted
prizes. The Quaker Range, however,
is an ideal type among stoves and IS
we'll worth the energy and persistence
which alone are needed to secure 1T;
for these prizes are given absolutely
free of other cost to voters. full value
in subscriptions, advertising or single
copies of the Reformer being given for
every dollar paid us in connection with
this matter. They are already pur-
chased and waiting for the fortunate
winners and will be delivered exactly
as agreed, upon the close of the con-
test and the final counting of votes.
While the Reformer has a warm feel
ing of interest for every one of the con-
testants entered and would like to
write each one down a winner, it is
nevertheless satisfied, since this is an
impossibility, in the thought that as
none but the brave deserve the fair, F"
so in this instance none but the hus-
tier deserves the Quaker Range-and
none but the hustler will get one.

WINDHAM COUNTY VOTES NO.
Majority of 1877 Against the New Measure
Brattleboro Goes Yes by 1lS Majority Out
of Total of 1860 Surprise at Bellows Falls

The vote in Windham county was ex-
ceedingly close, returns from all the
towns making the figures stand. Yes.
1850: No. 2,547. The result is about
what was expected by the more con
servative license men, few of whom
were sanguine enough to look for ma /
iority in their favor. OF % towns in
the county IA stuck to prohibition,
eight went in favor of license and one
was divided on the question. Those
in the Yes ranks are Brattleboro, Dover,
Dummerston, Guilford, Marlboro, Put
ney, Somerset and Nottingham. In
Jamaica the vote was tie and in the
remainder Of the towns it was No.
The vote in Brattleboro was largely
In excess of that predicted although the
majority for license was not as large as
was looked for by many, The polls re-
mained open from 8 until O. clock and
during that time someone was voting
nearly every minute. The heaviest vote
came, at noon and again about 4 O'Clock.
Very little demonstration was made
when the result was announced The
surprise came in Rocking ham where,
instead of majority of several hun
dred Yes, the vote went No by major
ity of 10 which was reduced to eight
on the recount. When this news
reached Brattleboro the prohibitionists
were jubilant and seme of the more ar
dent believers in the old law predicted
No majority of over 1,000 in the coun-
ty. All the towns except Dover and
Somerset were heard from Tuesday
evening and the estimated majority
was but very little different from the
corrected figures which are given to-
day. Somerset was the only town in
the county to cast unanimous vote,
the result being so against prohibi-
ton.

Another Davenport Will Law Suit.

William A. Davenport, the admins
traitor of the estate of Mrs. Alma Dav-
enport of Leyden, has been given leave
by the probate court to sue his uncle,
William Watson Davenport, on his
bond of S75, 600 as special administrators
of the estate of Alma Davenport. The
grounds for this suit are that W. W.
Davenport failed to make an inventory
within three months, and that he has
failed, neglected and refused" to de-
liver to W. A. Davenport the estate in
his hands. Under Mrs. Davenport's s
will, W. W. Davenport, her nephew,
was given the larger part of the es-
tate. The will was broken by jury
