EVA YOUNG
73 NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS. s537.6o MONEY COLLECTED.

By her remarkable work and the wonderful support and aid of her many friends during the last two days of the contest. Miss Eva Young, of Mesa Arizona, shot up to the Jop of the list like a skyrocket and scored over three thousand points more than the other leaders in the contest. This entitled her to first choice of the big list of scholarships, and also gave her the coat to be awarded by the New HorH store of Phoenix to the girl having the highest score.
 Eva has been an untiring worker, and has devoted her entire time, out side of school hours to the work Of getting subscriptions. From the very beginning she has stood well up in the ladder of scores. She has lived in Mesa nearly ali her life and everybody who knows her holds her in high es Q teem. She is an orphan girl and very deserving of the best the world has to give. and in view of this fact, nearly every merchant and business man in Mesa. and most of the ranch owners on the rural routes made exceedingly large payments on renewals and on new subscriptions. Nearly every one paid for at least one year, and many for eighteen months to two years. This

immediately after the first of the year
 This girl has been one of the best hustlers in the contest and as her score testifies, kept up her good work unto the end. Many times she stood at the top of the list. and held second place at all other times with but q few exceptions. Her general average for each days work was the best of all the contestants. but she did net make those sensational bounds as did some of the others. who changed their places in the score so frequently. Ryrda lives with her parents on East Adams street. She was born in Ari- zona and has lived here all her lifo and has many friends who were inter- ested in the contest and desired to sec her secure the scholarship she SO much wanted. And they gave her every aid possible. She expressed her delight in hr success and was very much surpris- ed at the amount of cash commissions she received yesterday

AMONG THE STARTERS.

When the contest opened sixteen ambitious boys and girls entered the race and started after subscriptions in a spirited and business like way. The race for scholarships and free educa . tional trips was on and the best hust- lers were destined to win.
 J. E. Le Baron, or "Rastus," as he is better and favorably known in Mesa. was the first to quit the race. He did not drop out because he was not a hustler. and feared to be in the losing list During the few days that ne worked he made a splendid showing and was one of the star workers, se- curing eight new subscriptions. The Republican regretted to have him withdraw, as his work gave promise or great results, but he learned that he was to leave Mesa. and could not con tinue his part in the race for sub scriptions. He soon left for Dublan. Mexico. leaving the field open to the other contestants representing that district

117 NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS. s515.0o MONEY COLLECTED.

During the greater part of the con- test Harry Kerr has been the top notcher in the list Of scores. and in tho. final stretch is poeketed between two girls. and comes in second. This is quite remarkable. in view of the fact that in all other similar contests, held by other papers. the first five to eighI winners have been girls. Harry not only kept in the lead in number Of points, but still stands ahead in the number of new subscriptions secured. He was also winner of a Thanksgiving turkey for the most new orders t5 Nov. 24.

Mr.. j. Eugene Moore, whose tragic
death occurred here Wednesday morn.

Albany, his home. Several friends OF
the deceased accompanied the body
from Americus and attended the obse-
quIes in the afternoon.

here, residing at the old family home
stead in Lection, out Lee street.
Nothing more has developed that
would throw any light upon the sui,
cide-the motive. Mr.. Moore as is
well known, was manager here for
Clark & Go. His business affairs, it
was stated yesterday by representa-
tive of the company, are all right.
His secret, If there was one, was car
ried with him to the grave.
Just what ii was that induced the
rash act Is mere surmige. Il has bean
stated that domestic troubles had
weighed on his mind, bat nothing of
authentic information on this point is

Mrs. Moore was in Atlanta, where
she has been making her home for sew
eral months. She was in Albany O
short time ago, spending several days
with her husband, it is said, and he
has visited her in Atlanta.
Mr. Moore was reared in ALBANY and
the greater part Of his life was spent
there. He was formerly connecte d
with the fire department., and also with
the mail service. He possessed excel
lent business qualities, and was held
in very high esteem.
Though resident of Americus but a
few weeks he was esteemed highly
among many friends here.
