I'D to 8 o'clock yesterday morning
Miss Noble had no thought OF entering
the contest. but when her attention
was called to the fact that Selma was
almost the only town Of any import
ance in Alabama that did not have an
active representative In The Advertiser

her mind to enter the race after having
the assurance OF the support OF Mayor
Atkins. her uncle r.. j. Davidson. and
q number Of other prominent citizens
and business men.
Notes OF Progress.
Miss Mary Paschel Of Georgians by a
gain Of 5, 500 has gone ahead Of Miss
Wynnette Manning and retains fourth
place. while the latter 10 now NO. B.
which Is quite q fall since last Tues
day morning.
Miss Manning's picture is presented
today. She Is the winsome little daugh- :
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Manning OF
sol South Hull Street. Her temporary
setback is due to the epidemic OF
mumpa with which the entire family
has become ahiicted since Wynnette en-
tered the contest at the top Of the list
with $4,000 votes to her credit. She is
o remarkably bright and beautiful
child and wants 'sTiser" and the little
park wagon for a prize. Her friends
ought to send in their votes for her to
prevent her falling farther behind
while she and her campaign manager
are both laid up with swollen necks.
Miss Iona Stephens, whose portrait
was published yesterday. has moved up
from twelfth to ninth place.
