MISS MAGGIE TooTHMAN.
Winner of Lady's Trophy.
IA Was Throuan.

The committee canvassed the vote
thoroughly, counting the certificates
and verifying them SO as to leave no
room for a question of their finding
and that every one interested may be
assured of the absolute fairness Of
the final count, votes, certificates and
records pertaining thereto will be pre-
served for a reasonable time to per.
init of ver1hcatlon. 1t was great
Vnd successful contest, probably one
OF the most exciting which has ever
been known under similar circum-
stances. and d will go down into his
tory as one OF the most hotly con-
tested struggles Of a friendly character
which has ever been known In this
portion of the State. While the West
Vtrginian congratulates the winners
on their success and the other con-
testants for the excellent showing
which they have made. it feels that it
cannot overlook its own share of sue
cess. It has upon its list hundreds OF
new subscribers and certainly has
reason to feel proud of its large sub
scriptton list. The paper is greatly
increased in it's advertising value and
there can be no doubt that its field
OF responsibility and usefulness to
the county is greatly enhanced.
After all, the business men and ad'
vertisers of this seetIon-the men
sending daily messages to the reading
public through our coIumns-are
the ones who will receive the most
lasting benefits from the contest.
The West vfrginian takes this op-
portunity of stating to its advertis'
ers that this is only a beginning of
its circulation expansion. We will
continue to grow bigger and better
and cover wider field Of usefulness
as the days go by.
