Miss Emily U. Brown, daughter Of
Mr.. aud Mrs. John Brown, of this city,
was awarded the solid gold Waltham
watch presented by J. w. Rowett, the
jeweler, on New Years day, and holds
the proud distinction of being the most
popular lady in Owyhee county. Not
withstanding the fact that the contest
was very animated, Miss Brown was
far and away ahead of all competitors,
having total Of 2450 votes. Miss
Brown, who is young lady attending
the Silver City high school, is deserv-
ing of the compliment bestowed and
natural prizes the token very highly,
as we'll as the honor which attends the
receiving of it.
The large vote cast is also an indica-
tion that Mr.. Rowett is doing good
business, as every vote represents a
fifty cent purchase. We we're unable
to obtain the entire vote, but it must
have been large, judgi ng from that re
ceived by the winner.
