Gentlemen;
Like every true soldier lighting il
the ranks OF the Baby Contest. 1 obey

best 1 could in the matter of getting
votss for my baby. I worked Will

to If they are DESTROYS of winning ii
a contest OF the chaeater and proper
lions Of the Baby Contest.
Considering all did. / could mo-
nave won had 1 not received the great
help and encouragement which my
friends gave me. All were unanimous
in their belief that the contest would
be, conducted fairly and honorably and
this assurance spurred me on to new
efforts, for I believed / had as good a
chance as any of the others.
The glory and honor Of winning is
considerable, for the reason that some
Of the pest families In Marion county
were represented and the enthusiasm
was kept at fever heat during tie
selge. bcause there was no abatement
on the part OF the mothers and other
workers to capture every available
subscription in sight. Knowing all
this to be true, I feel aoubly proud for
having won.
"A considerable portion OF the honor
and glory of my winning must go to
the gentlemen who conducted the con.
test and who insisted upon me work.

To the publishers of the West Virgin.
lap I an very grateful for having &C.
corded me the privilege OF participant.
ing in such a magnificent contest.
Wishing every one connected with
the Undertaking every success,
Very respectfully,
