Although There is Plenty Of Time
and Opportunity for Everybody to
Get in on This Great Piano Contest,
Those Who Have Already Entered

From Them.
tween this issue and the date of the
next count of the ballots in The Her
AIDS great voting contest, and when
the count is made on Monday even
ing, May 26th, the vote will surely
show some very surprising gains.
A hard fight is being made by the
leaders to get the coveted position
at the head of the list, and ballots are
falling in large numbers each day.
Subscriptions are coming in, while the
merchants coupons are pouring in all
the time.
From the efforts being put forth
by the leaders there is apt to be an
entire change in their positions, and
just who will get out in the lead is
difficult to say. Indications are that
the vote will be very close. Those
down on the list are also making ef-
| forts to better their standing and
are hustling here, there and every
where to get votes.
The bonus offers have put new life
| into the contest and the young Wo-
man who makes the greatest gain will
receive a special prize of $40 in gold.
The candidates can get many sub
scriptions by asking their friends and
acquaintances to assist them in the
contest for the capital prize, a grand
Obermeyer & Sons piano.
Seven new yearly subscriptions,
paid up, will give contestants 14,2OO
votes, and will make them factors in
the race for the prizes. Certainly a
s40O upright piano, which is rich in
tone and appearance, is surely worth
the time and energy in trying to win
and as only one candidate can be the
winner of the capital prize, there is
still some chance to win one of the
handsome prizes which the merchants
have so generously donated. A little
earnest work will land the big prize
for somebody.
To those persons who have not sub
scribed to The Herald, we will give
gentle hint. DO 1T NOW. There is
certainly one candidate in the list in
whom you are more or less interested
and who would appreciate the help
you would give her by sending your
subscription to this office and asking
that the votes be credited to her. AS
to the value of The Herald as news
paper. there are hundreds of read
ers who will tell you about it and will
say more for it than the publisher
would, because, we'll, we would pre-
fer our friends to tell all about the
good qualities of the paper.
Merchants coupons, counting 20
votes, can be procured with every
cash purchase amounting to one dol
dar at E. A. Hooton's, The Bamberg
Pharmacy, Rentz & Felder's, The
Millinery Store, C. R. Brabham S
