10 which the candidates engaged in
The Herald popular voting contest
have to work for the several prizes
offered. The voting comes to an end
on Tuesday, December 3rd at o'locs
| and Immediately thereafter the count
/ ing will be com nenced to see who shall
be declared the winner OF the splendid
Obermeyer l. Son piano and the other
! beautiful and useful articles offered to
those who are making an endeavor to
land the premiums. 1t is not believed
by those who have given tho matter
careful thought that any particular
person had the grand prize cinchsd
at the present time but there are sew
eral in the race who have a good
chance to land 1t If they only will
hustle.
There are several young ladies who
appear to have the best Of the contest
but none of them have a sure clnch of
being the ultimate owner of the first
prize. If one of these contestants who
is way down the list should take 1t in
to her head that she vas going to win
the big premium she could do so. She
would have to do some work to make
it, but that was what was expected
when the contest opened. Several
punches of seven Few subscribers or
renewals in the groups OF seven would
put the lowest candidate in the race
up among the leaders.
For those who wish to vote without
any competitor seeing them, The Her
aid desires to state that cash with
your subscription, telling where the
paper is to be sent and to whom the

veopes as soon as they start to count

ladies can land the prize if they will
take the time to get out and solicit
