GOOD TIP ON VOTE GETTING.
Contest Now on in Earnest and Hard
Work is Being Done.

In this contest the thing is to get
the votes. The lady getting the high
est number of votes will be declared
the most popular lady in the COM
munity and be awarded a fine Ober-
meyer & Sons piano valued at s4O0.
This is surely worth a try. There
is nothing gained in this life with
out an effort and you will be sur
prised to find how easy it is to get
votes in this contest. Besides the
piano there are many other prizes to
be given away, and the young lady
who goes into the matter with a de-
termination to win can hardly fail
to win a prize we'll worth the effort.
There are now two ways of getting
votes. The first way is to pay cash
in the purchase of your goods which
is the best and most pleasing way
for all concerned, and then demand
coupons of the store. These cou-
pons are good for 25 votes each and
count just as we'll as though you had
gotten them at this Office. The Sec
ond way and the way to get the larg-
er coupons is to subscribe for The
Herald get your neighbor to sub
scribe, pay and have him pay all
arrearage and pay in advance. The
last is the best way of all to get
more votes. You can pay as far in
advance as you please, and the more
you pay, the larger the coupon you
get.
For while the ballot box will be
kept at this office, as we keep longer
business hours than any of the banks,
and you can vote early and late.
Later in the contest the box will be
taken to the Bamberg Banking Co.,
where ballots may be deposited at
any time during banking hours, and
you will know that your votes are
perfectly safe and will be counted
as votes. For the present the box
stands just inside The Herald office
door where you may step in at any
time and deposit your tickets wheth-
er there is anyone in the office or
not. After the tickets are given out
we have nothing to do with them ex-
cept to hand over the prizes to such
as are declared the winners by the
awarding committee.
We guarantee this contest to be
absolutely fair and honest, and at the
end of thirty days three disinterested
persons will open the box and count
the votes. The young lady that has
the highest number of votes at that
time will be awarded a $40 gold
piece. In another 80 days this will
be repeated, and at the end of the
last 80 days the box will be opened
and the final award be made, when
all the prizes as advertised will be
given out. The matter is now en-
tirely out of the coupons as the
money is paid in on subscription.
We know there has been dissatis-
faction in these contests and have
adopted the above plan to satisfy
everyone interested that there can be
nothing wrong in this one, and that
everyone will get a square deal and
an honest count.
1t is better that you deposit your
votes often, as they will then be in
safe keeping, and at the same time
no one will know how many you have,
as no one will have a look in the box
until the first count is made on March
oath.
Above all things get busy. The
names of the young ladies who have
already been nominated in this con-
test are given below. We want each
one of them to call at the Herald
office and get book of receipts and
copies of the Herald to work with and
get busy. The one who does the best
work is going to have that beautiful
Obermeyer & Sons piano, and the
others are going to be handsomely
rewarded by other prizes. In addi-
ton one of them is going to win an
extra prize of $40 in gold, to be
awarded March "a. Now young Ia
dies, it is, up to you to get busy. A
good start may mean great deal 50
get in the game early.
