There is no chance for "slow-
down" in the efforts to win one of the
European trips which the Alexandria
Gazette is offering to the ladies of
Alexandria. Everybody is wanting
to lead-Wsll you all can't lead the
same day, but you all can try.
The pace is sure a hot one, but all
are determined to fight it out right
up to the last minute.
Three new smiling faces are seen
in the roll of honor this evening and
three that are working to win and it
is going to take some fast work and
strong voting to take them from the
roll of honor. Miss Nellie Uhler
leads here district with just a few
more votes than Miss Spofford, and is
followed very closely by the other
hustling candidates. Miss Kroes
Ficklin, a popular teacher is leading
the second district with Miss Susan
Fawcett one of her competitors
closely following. In the third divi-
sion Miss Ada Mcdonald popular
young lady of st Elmo, whom every
body at the above named place is sup
porting, leads her district.
1t is a magnificent race all along
the line. Nearly a week of the Sec
ond period has slipped by and there
only remains one more week from to-
morrow until the high vote schedule
will be thing of the past. TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS TIME!
MAKE THIS WEEK COUNT! The
ladies realize what short space of
time separates them from success,
and that each hours work they put in
now will be amply repaid by days of
wonderful pleasure for the winners
in touring Europe next summer, en-
tirely free of expense. They realize
too, that work done, at this time will
likely decide the winners and are
making every moment count.
The closeness is what makes the
contest so full of interest. The pub
lie knows that one of these young
women in each district will win tour
of Europe and that they also have a
chance to win that beautiful diamond
ring that the Gazette is now offer
ing.
There is scarcely 4 home or place
of business in the city or in any OF the
towns represented in the contest,
where this most liberal of offers has
not been discussed, and in most of
the list of voters is eagerly scanned
each evening, and speculation is rife
regarding the probable winners OF
the tours. Everyone is interested in
his or her favorite and is confident
that success at the finish will go to
that particular candidate.
Many promises have been made;
some of these promises have beer
fulfilled. HAVE YOU FULFILLED
YOUR PROMISE?

Hustling all Along the Line
From the large amount OF SUB
scriptions turned in YESTERDAY thF
fact is revealed that all the candidates
have been busy and while for 1e"
days past it may have looked as tho
certain candidates had the race u
themselves, do not be surprised 10
see some dark horse come to the IRON
and make a strong finish.
Some of the leaders will have tt
hurry and hustle to keep the leae
from now on. The leaders in the frs
periodhave not been pushed up yer,
rapidly until within the past week
and from indications at present thos,
who have been lower down in the rae
have so fortified themselves that the,
can without much effort secure tn
