The Popular Subscription
Contest.

The big subscription popularity
contest now being run by the Chron-
icle, under the management OF tue
Gilliland Syndicate. is based on the
successful experience of such newspa-
pers az the Shreveport Times, and
the journal Of thnt same city, the
Minden Democrat, the WinntieId SEN
tineI, and several other prominent
papers that have proven the efficien-
cy of the GillilaDd plan. The system
has become so popular that several
other Of the Louisiana newspnpersat
this moment have the Giililand plan
under trial, and have their contests
in full blast
The main texture of the plan is to
offer several tempting outing trips
to the Young ladies. in order tosecure
the services of themselves and their
relatives and friends in collecting
cash subscriptions, both new and
old. The young ladies who secure
the largest and next largest number
of votes in the contest are awarded
the prizes of the free trips.
1t is pleasing experience to all
concerned. The newspaper gets in n
fine lot of subscriptions, has it's en-
pacity as an advertising medium
greatly increased, and is thus en-
abled to pay the expenses Of the prize
trips offered at no tax upon it's re-
sources. The young ladies have a
most excellent business experience
whether they win or lose in the con-
test, not beng out anything except
the three or four weeks they may de-
vote to soliciting, and, if they be-
come the lucky winners Of the SUM-
mer trips. they have n splendid re-
ward that is worth many times their
expense and trouble-they receive
honor and pleasure, and their friends
are greatly gratitied over their sue
cess and enjoyment. The subscribers
to the paper get the full worth OF
their money in good newspaper,
and find that they have assisted a
worthy lady friend in most profit
able and pleasing experience, aud
that it has really cost them nothing.
as the paper is full return for their
investment.
The experience of the Minden Dem
ocrat with this plan WAS SO pleasant
last year, TINT at the solicitation Of
it's patrons it has put on another
contest for this season. The Winn-
field Sentinel. which a few weeks since

management, made grand gala
