Great Voting Contest
Starts Like a Whirlwind
Many Nominations of Popular Young Ladies Already
Made. More to Follow. Get in the Race.
FIRST COUNT MONDAY, SEPT. Is
Read the Announcement and Particulars in this Issue
and Get in the Game

The big prize voting contest an
nouncement in these columns last

we imagined it would at the begin
ming. Nominations of contestants

willing recipients of fine $500 OBJ
ermeyer Piano or other valuable
prizes enumerated in this list.
All of these handsome prizes are
enumerated in the announcement on
another page and will be given to
some of the ladies of this vicinity.
The question IS How can [ get
it? All that is necessary is to get
your relatives and friends TO trade
with the merchants who are donat-
ing prizes in this popular voting con-
test.
For each $1.O0 spent with the
merchants you will receive rs votes
which can be voted for any of the
contestants. Also to get your friends
to subscribe for this paper. For
each one year subscription you viii
receive 900 votes; for each one
year renewal 500; for each year
back subscription, 400 votes. Of
course it will be understood that
under no circumstances are coupons
issued by the merchants except up
on cash purchases.
We have been asked if the wife or
daughter of merchants who are CO.
operating with this paper in this
voting contest may compete for priz-
es. The rules are that no one con-
nected with this paper can compete
nnffhnrs tho ryffr
or daughter of any of the merchants
who are cooperating with this paper
in the contest enter the competition.
The reasons for this are obvi JUS,
and we are very sure, that the mer-
chants will all feel just as we do in
regard to the matter. We want the
contest to be conducted with the
greatest possible fairness, with no
occasion or opportunity for anybody
to criticise. The ballot box is now
at our Office, ready to receive votes.
The box will not be opened until the
first count is made, on Sept. 18th.
The judges will be absolutely disin-
terested people, in whom everybody
will have confidence, and every count
will be participated in by
4 representative of the Publishers
Music Co., who are managing the
contest. There will be no favorites
and no chance for faVoritism. The
lady who secures the largest number
Of votes will win the piano, and so
On down for the rest of the prizes.
We wish there were pianos enough
to go round for all the girls, but
there are not, and all but one will
have to be content with one of the
many other beautiful prizes offered
Voting can commence at any time
in ballot box which is placed in
this office and the key to the box
will be given to the awarding COM
mittee whose names will be announc-
ed in another issue of this paper.

! Read the rules in the large ad. in
this issue or we will mail them upon
request. Inspect the offerings of
the merchants and learn how you
may secure votes for yourself or
| friend Be sure to ask these mer-
chants for coupons.
Those who do not understand the
rules and regulations of this contest
can call at this Office or write us and
we will be pleased to go over the
proposition with them.
Extra Prize of $40 in Gold
be made on Sept. 16, at which time
$40 in gold will be awarded to the
contestant having the largest number
of votes at that time. This prize is
extra, in addition to the other prizes
offered, and its winning will not bar
the winner from securing the piano
or any of the other prizes.
DO 1T NOW and help someone
reap the benefits of this liberal of
fer. Remember that many of the
merchants of this town are inter
ested in this contest and give a rs
vote coupon with every 81 cash pur-
chase.
This contest is between individ-
uals and no lodge or other organiza-
ton will be permitted to enter. This
also means that no lady will be per-
mitted to stand as the candidate
with the understanding if she wins
the piano or other prizes it is to go
to that Organization. Such an arrange
ment would be manifestly unfair to
the other contestants. Any candi-
date so detected will be disqualified.
Remember and have your friends
trade with merchants who are giving
coupons. The names of the mer-
chants who are giving handsome
prizes and helping to make this con-
test big success are as follows:
c. c. Bingham.
Randall and Whitcomb.

That is the only way we can make
this contest make money for us.
We want each one of the young
ladies who have already been nom
mated to call at this office and get

dition one of them is going to win

good start may mean a great deal,
so get in the game early.
