This contest has been greatly en-
joyed by many of the readers of tn

ports reaching US all the time
While the actual contestants di,
not number as many as in previou
contests, the puzzles were object
of interest in nearly every home
where some member of the famil,
would be interested in seeing tn
answers to the same. The objec

an interest in the history of tn
county has been. fully attained
Several of the contestants write u

have, unconsciously perhaps, be

history of their home county
Many of the solutions sent in SHOW
a great deal Of painstaking wor]
and perseverance, and we predic
that among the above list of brigh
boys and girls will come men an,
women who will make for them
selves honored places in the histor,
Of the country. None need eve
regret their work in taking part il
this unique contest, the first of it
