NEVER BEFORE
Was Such an Opportunity Offered to
the Young Folks of Lafayette.

There has been a better prop
laid before the young ladies
and men of n town than the one
now put in the pathway Of the young
ladies and men of this place by the
Church Point Democrat, which paper
IS giving them t~hirty-six chances to
win a most attractive prize. This Of
fer is being made through a voting
contest, the like of which was
before run in this part of the state.
The primary purpose of which is to
increase the circulation of the paper,
but there are many merchants coop
Grating with the Democrat by giving
OUT votes that viii be counted in the
contest with certain sales made by
them. In Lafayette: Laurent's Bak-
cry, 100 votes with 10cts sales; Owl
Drug Co., with 25cts sales; Ruger,
the jeweler, with Scots sales; Prea-
ger, the tailor, with Scots sales; R. H.
McFaddin, staple and fancy groceries,
with 25cts sales; The Fashion, millin-
cry, with Scots sales. All that is
necessary is to get these votes. Ask
your friends for them. Then you will
get 1000 votes with every 81 sent in
by you collected on subscription and
there is a coupon good for 100 votes
in every issue of the Church Point
Democrat. Lafayette should certain
ly have some young folks that would
like to get some of these prizes.
They can do it, if they will. Get
busy today. 9-3-6t.

The

"Graustark," a dramatiZation OF
Geo. Barr McCutcheon's novel ny
Geo. d. Baker, comes to the Jefferson
Theater Sept. 81 direct from con-
quests of New York, Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
No play has SO electrified the theat-
rical world in a decade, and much in
terest is shown in the coming presen-
tation. The book has been widely
read and many are familiar with thu
captivating story. II deals with the
adventures of a daring American and
a princess" and unfolds a narrative
of "A Love Behind a Throne" The
play is in five acts and mounted with
a lavish equipment of scenic effects
and costumes and interpreted by a
cast of players that are seldom seer
away from the Broadway theaters.
Both company and play have been
showered with praise by critics in
other cities, and it is said that
'Graustark" sets a standard by which
all dramatized novels will be judged
in the future.
"Mr. McCutcheon has given us a
play that surpasses his 'Brewsters
Millions What will he do next?"
says a critic. There is no doubt Of
what this author can do, and his read
ers are anxiOusly awaiting the date
OF "Graustark's" engagement in this
city, and it should prove to be the
theatrical event Of the season. The
play is in five acts and an elaborate
scenic equipment painted by Castle &
Harvey in their New York studio is
carried.

Wealthy citizens of a New Jersey
