A Renarkab ble Offer ~
he Graphic Proposes to Give Away, Absolutely Free of Cost, S4oo.oo Piano and SI so. in Que t,ilis to Apply the Purchase Price of Two Others Making Grand Total of s55o.oo in Prizes to the Three Host Popular Ladies.

The Graphic today submits 10 it's many readers the most generous offer ever made to the reading public by any newspaper ill the smaller cities of the great southwest. Despite the limited field i'll which the local papers late and operate, We have perfected pans whereby it is proposed to give away absolutely free of cost to the public the munificent value of $55o. which will take the form of due bills tr apply on the purchase Of three first-class pianos hieh, iww l23i 1890 frst-class pianos, which will be donat- ed. free, to the most popular lady, married or single, chosen by a popular vote on the part of the public. The proposition is both interesting and profitable Read it.
 First, We will give away, absolute |, free of cost, q $400 kimball piano,
 
 style l5. sold by the we'll known Hol- lenberg Music company of this city ard Little Rock to the lady receiving the largest number of votes.
 Second, we will give q due bill for SlnO to apply on the purchase price of similar instrument, sold by the
 t.. hn yIl, nJ\ tue next largest number of votes.
 Third, we will give a due bill for $50 on the purchase price of another piano from the same company, to the lady receiving the third largest num- Der of votes in the contest.
 Think of it a moment. This sum represents the average yearly salary of the working women of this section of the country. It represents q sum euualllng the salary of the average working man for the same length ol time that the contest will run~foun months. It is an extraordinary offer and one that will doubtless arouse the greatest enthusiasm on the part of the public generally. Every lad! wants piano The Graphic proposes to give away three of them, of which alrone may we'll feel proud. It is 2 cayi:g proposition to the winner,

The arm is extended horizon tally from the body and the forearm pronated. If the test is made in the open air 8 cloak is held No as to shield the part from all motion of the atmos- phere.

Total of prizes .............. Sl0 co
 The competition Is open to anyone not connected professionally with the editorial, reportorial or correspond encc staff of q newspaper. Contribu- tions will be judged on their value as news items and on their general style and construction. News value Is de- tcrmined by the amount of interest the matter has in itself News has a value independent of the form i'll which it is presented. but ordinary incidents can be related in q manner 10 awaken interest when some ot the elements of news are lacking. An ar- ticle which combines news merit with good literary style has q double value.
 Tn all cities like Pine Riun there are many happenings of legitimate news interest that do not find their way into the newspapers. This is rot because newspapers do not want to print them. but because reporters Gt. not discover them. Reporters nee t.ssarily follow beaten paths ill their search for news, visiting stated places from day to day, and their work be comes routine to large degree.
 The best stories are often found of the newspaper beats. being spontane- ous or unexpected, and not provided for or anticipated in assigning report CTS to duty. In many instances these stories are run down by reporters and published, but in other cases they es- cape observation except in their im- mediate localities and are lost to the newspaper world.
 In addition to the larger affairs which receive newspaper attention there are many interesting minor h. cidents of every day life that may bt published with propriety, and the pur- nose of this competition Is to awaken the news instinct and secure for pub lication timely stories that are now overlooked. Neighborhood happenings picnics, games, improvements, public complaints, accidents, births, etc, are often passed over by regular news gatherers, and will be found excellent subjects for stories to be entered in the Graphic contest.
 A Few Suggestions
 A few suggestions to contributors may be of service in the preparation of newspaper copy.
 Use paper about 7x9 inches in size writing the long way of the sheet, on one side only, and using soft black lead pencil or ink.
 Don't be wordy or long drawn out but let your story be clean-cut and to the point
 Don't write mere fancy sketches Stories for the contest must deal with real life and have an actual news basis.
