Figures this Week

A mass of votes at the busiest
time and the call home Of Contest
Manager Reeves on account Of
his wife's illness, prevented us
from making a count of all the
votes which we were requested
to announce this week. There
fore we are giving the relative

which appears to be as follows:
Miss Minnie Hockensmith.
Miss Lizzie Adams.
Miss Anna Fetters.
Miss Alice Chism.
Miss Grace Lassley.
Miss Nellie Parsons.
Miss Sylvia DeMoss.
Miss Frances Higginbotham.
Miss Mollie VanWinkle.
There are some big changes
this week in the relative standing
OF the contestants. They have
been trading places most every
week, but the real fight for first
place will come next week. Sat
urday. July LIST, at 5 p. m, is the
time of all times to be ahead.
We have devised a way to close
the contest that will insure per.
feet satisfaction and absolute Sc.

by the judges.
The ballot box will be taken to
the Bank of Marshall next Tues.
day evening, securely locked and
sealed, and remain there until
turned over to the judges at 5
o'clock on July LIST.
There will be plenty OF blank
envelopes convenient TO the ballot

KISSIMMEE, Fla, Dec. 2-Fearful
that the failure of the grand jury to

dying sister. Sadie Merchant, would
be construed as a justification OF

late this afternoon filed with Federal
Judge Price motion that the aged
couple be held for the next grand
jury.
There was quiet rejoicing among the
half dozen pious inhabitants of the
little Shaker colony with whom Broth
er Gillette and Sister Elizabeth work

the grand jury had refused to act.
Most people here think that the
case is closed. despite Jones motion.
