The contest wEl close, the final
count be made, the piano and
other prizes will be awarded on
September S. The closing was de
layed two weeks by the failure Of the
piano to arrive from the iact0rY. 1t
is here now at BurtOn's Drug Store
aud is prOnOunced by experts to be
a splendid instrument Call in aud
Sc. aud hear it,
The young ladies realize that it IS
now or never that the time has finally
GENE for the final dash down the
home stretch, aud with the beautiful
Obermeyer & Sons piano aud other
valuable prizes before them they are
working as meyer before. 1t is no
Isnaer a catch.as-Catch can contest,
but a rOusine, systematic hand to hand
battle Of ballots. The contestants
realize that to the victor belongs the
spoils, 50d that each young lady
lined up for the final dash is an op'
ponent that will require some tah
huslline to overcome. The young
ladies are working cautiously and
playing the game with all the diplo'
macy Of trained politicians From
hints dropped along the wayside it is
evident there will be some big sur
prises when the final count is an.
nounced. No one but the contestants
themselves know how many votes one
may have unvoted There is always
a possibility OF some dark horse COM
ine under the wire ahead in the field
with a bunch OF votes that have beeu
held back. Contestants in the lead
should not rest on their oars at this
stage Of the game. A contestant IN the
rear may vote bunch Of votes at the
last sufficient to- sweep aside all op'
position. Some Of those making d
seemingly poor showing now, undOubt
edly will at the last give the leaders
run for their money. The lagglni
ones are saying nothing but doing
lot of work. Nothing worth having
was ever gained without some effort
and a $400 piano is not picked NJ
every day. This is prize worthy o
the most strenuous efforts OF an
Young lady aud the contestant who i
wise will expend every ounce OF he
energy in securing the country sid
for votes from now till the close OF th
contest. The one who wins the plan
will be the one who marshals he
Iorsss the most effectively and VIII
hurls everv ounce OF her VOlin
strength into the arena at the fina
count.
