$4,000 EXTRA VOTES.
Contestants Look to Your LaureIs. Time
Is Getting Short,

The biggest bonus offer of the
contest is offered to the contes,
tants this week who wish to make
a little extra effort. This offer il
a good one for those in the lead
for those who wish to got in the
lead, OF for those who have tn
least number of votes This offe,
Is 25, 900 extra votes for every
$4,000 brought in fsr subscrip.
tions to The WAToHMAN and
RECORD. This means with the
regular vote given, $4,000 votes
for each 500 90 paid on subscrip-
lions. Here is the chance of the
contest, an offer that ought to be
taken advantage of, and now is
the time to GET BUSY.
Contests of this kind often de-
velop some peculiarities. One
has just closed in Statesville that
was one of the biggest events that
has taken place there for some
time. Numbers of the very best
young ladies of the place entered
aud If a man passed through that
town, day or night, he was seen
by several of them, and he sub
scribed. He had 1t to do. They
made it 80 warm for him that he
was glad 10 get off by subscrib.
ing. This is mentioned merely
to give those who seem 8 little
backward an idea of how some
seek success.
There is no one so fer ahead
nor has any one so we'll worked
she community that the one with
the least number of votes cannot
start nov AID wiz. Numbers o.
subscribers have come in the Of
flee and paid up, having met no
one while IN town who would ask
for their subscription. Should a
person put in the time from now
sill the close of the contest thor
aughly canvassing this town and
rural routes, they could not fail
to win the first prize and would
get it for an expenditure of less
than one.tenth of Its value. If
thsre IS q person in the town or
county wanting a real high grade

song at that. now is the chance
Of a life time to get it.
This special $4,000 bonus cffer
for every $1,000 paid on subscrip-
tions closes at 2 p. M, January
4th.
The contestants. with Miss
Lingle in the lead, stand just as
heretofore. All have put in
quite a number of votes, but
there has been no change in their
relative positions.

rendered the Christmas
service "Yuletide Greetings
on Christmas day at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon to a very
large and appreciative audi
ence, the large spacious
church being filled to it's Ut
most capacity
The children ACQUITTED
themselves admirably in the
rendering of the recitations
and exercises. The music
was Of a high order, and IN
the rendering of the same the
large audience was held
spell~bound to the end Of the
service.
The offering for the
orphans in the orphan home
at Salem, Va, amounted to
$12. SO.
There were 284 treats con-
sisting of a libelal quantity
of candy, oranges, aud ap>
Piles delivered to the Sunday
school.
AS is the custom of the
Lutheran Chapel people on
these anniversary occasions,
they did not forget their
pastor. Besides the regular
Sunday school treat, they
presented him a handsome
sum Of money as a Christmas
gift.
Not being satisfied with
what they had already done
in the way of a cash present.
on Wednesday following, up>
wards Of fifty of the members
of the congregation called at
the parsonage a short while
before noon and spread a
most sumptous repast, and
every one present ate to their
hearts content and yet much
remained to be taken up.
After the sumptuous meal,
when we thought all was
over, they began giving us a
regular old fashion pounding
with potatoes, corn, canned
fruit, sugar, coffee, postum,
rice, sausage, steak, baking
powder, fresh meat, etc.
Constantly, since the season
of hog killing came in we
have been supplied with
sausage and fresh meat.
For all these tangible
tokens OF appreciation we are
truly grateful. They en-
courage us and unite more
closely the pleasant relation
and friendship that exists be-
tween pastor and people,
May the Lord abundantly
bless these dear good people,
our labors among them.
