Big Contest Ends
A Great Success.
Close Race Between Mesdames Chaffin and
StOckard, Other Prize Winners

In a close and exciting contest
which ended last Friday, Mrs. o.
o. stockard Of LeOma, won the
Piano offered by this paper, with
Mrs. Algie Chafiln of Crowson a
close second.
Soon after the contest opened il
developed into a fight between the
communities north and south of
town, and both ladies did earnest
and excellent work.
Mrs. Stockard lives at Leoma
and with enthusiastic loyalty they
rallied to her support. Leoma
has a sort OF idea that she must
not be beaten at anything, and it
is to this spirit more than any.
thing else that their candidate
owes her victory,
We have never known, however,
finer worker in any contest than
Mrs. Chaffin, and while she had
many loyal friends and supporters,
still the magnificent race abe
made, was due mainly to her own
untiring efforts and pleasing per-
sonality. Some of those who
wanted her to win, were not able
financially to do much, aud an
other element, who ought to have
aided this fine little woman in her
fight, allowed their narrow politi.
cal prejudice against this paper to
control, and would do nothing.
While Mrs. Chafiin is greatly
disappointed, and who would moi
be, yet with the same courage and
wOmanllness that has marked her
course throughout the fight. she
says, in a letter to us concerning
the paper and the treatment it
gave her:
In my own mind, l feel Mrs.
Crawford has been fair and honest
with us from the beginning to the
end and it is not to her l owe nv
defeat.'
