up. MIR. II. NJ. Barger, he said had
been with The Herald and News
since 1859, and that he was still at
work in the office.
Finally Nh Aull said that he saw
among the guests assembled, one OF
the leading business men OF the city,
and that he was sure Mr.. John 5.
Maves would make a little talk, but
Mr.. Mayes must have been too sure
Of having heard the curfew ring, and
he undoubtedly counted the twenty
third stroke, for he said he knew the
boys were sleepy and wanted to
know who VOL the prizes so he
would not keep them any longer
in waiting.
Mr.. E. H. Aull then rose to say
that he knew absolutely nothing
about this contest, that he had had
nothing whatever to do with it, but
he was onstrained to say that so far
as he knew and believed it had been
carefully managed and the rec
ords conscientiously kept, and that
the judges, Mr.. N. L. Spearman, j.
Y. McFall, ]. E. Norwood: were pres
ent to correborate this fact. Mr.. 4.
D. Smith was also one Of the judges
but on account of sickness was un-
able to attend the supper. MI. Aull
went on to thank the young people
for their able assistance in adding
many names to the list Of subscrlb-
ers, and said that he hoped all of
those young people present were
friends of the paper not only on ac-
count Of the prizes to be won, but
simply because Of impersonal rea-
sons. He was glad to have this op-
portunity to bring the people to-
gether, and believed that more social
gatherings Of similar character would
result well for the community. Mr..
!, Aull gave his personal views on the
matter Of giving prizes, saying that
he had never believed in offering
prizes rather preferri5g the paper
to stand on it's own merits, but IN
these days, said he, the old people
must give away to the young and
their ideas, so he supposed it was all
right. Going on to, o,explain, Mr.. Aull
said that every one in the contest
cot something, and the Contest Man
ager, Mr.. Jas. L. Aull, would give to
each Of them ten per cent. II what
each collected, and so practically >ev-
cry one would get something.
Then followed the presentation OF
the prizes in the following Official
manner: ~ SN*s@., j. - !. >:>',>;:>z&
