Our Voting Contest.

AS will be seen IN another part
Of this issue, The Herald IS about
to begin a voting contest in
which prizes to the value of
$500 will be given to the most
popular and ambitious ladies in
this vicinity. Our main reason
for this is that the town Of Oak
ley should have proper exploita-
ton by sending out a paper that
shall have a great deal wider cir
culation than The Herald has
ever had heretofore. The pres
ent management is content with
the success The Herald has had
since taking charge, and as at
present facilities will admit but
Of the issuance of purely local
paper, increased circulation will
mean increased business that
will warrant and necessitate the
covering of a larger field. though
the local field shall in nowise suf-
fer thereby, but. rathes, gain, for
The Herald shall be always and
essentially An Oakley newspaper,
and its first duty shall always be
considered AS due to the town
and community which is to
blame for it's being.
