Miss Susie Morris to Enter Metropolis
Contest

Miss Susie Morris Of this city will
enter the great contest that will be
conducted during the next few months
by the Jacksonville Metropolis This
is one of the most mammoth contests
ever undertaken in the state. and the
prizes are magnificent ones, such as
an automobile, a trip to Europe, and
other good things.
Miss Morris is employed at the tele-
phone exchange, and she is a daugh-
ter of Mr.. J. A. Norris. She is a most
pleasant and agreeable young lady
and will probably be Mraion county's
only candidate in this contest, so we
hope her friends and all of our citi-
zens will give her a very hearty sup
port in the contest and we certainly
trust that she will secure one of the
coveted premiums.
