VOTING CONTEST CLOSES SATUR-
DAY, JUNE 21st.
A Few More Days in Which to Work
for the Beautiful PianO-IaSt
Struggle for the Capital
Prize Now at Its
Height-Other
Prizes.

There are now but a few more
days in which the candidates engag-
ed in The Herald's popular voting
contest have to work for the several
prizes offered The voting comes to
an end on Saturday, June 21st, at 4
o'clock and Immediately thereafter
the count will be commenced to see
who shall be declared the winner of
the splendid Obermeyer piano and
the other beautiful and useful articles
offered to those who are making an
endeavor to land the premiums 1t is
not believed by those who have given
the matter careful thought that any
particular person has the grand prize
cinched at the present time but there
are several in the race who have a
good chance to land it if they only
will hustle.
If you have not yet seen the fine
piano offered in this contest go to The
Herald Book Store and take look.
Many of our citizens have examined
the instrument as to it's quality and
appearance and there is yet the first
one to say that it is not fine one.
1t is of a plain rich mahogany, and a
prettier piano was never unloaded at
Bamberg. Musicians of this vicinity
have tested it as to it's quality of tone
and volume and every one of them
say it is finer than silk.
There are several young ladies who
appear to have the best of the contest
but none of them have sure cinch of
being the ultimate owner of the first
prize. If one of these contestants
who is way down the list should take
it into her head that she was going
to win the big premium she could do
so. She would have to do some work
to make it, but that was what was ex-
pected when the contest opened. Sev-
eral punches of seven new subscribers
or renewals in the groups of seven
would put the lowest candidate in the
race up among the leaders.
Miss Elma Chitty was in the lead
at the last count Several others are
we'll to the front and are putting
forth every effort on the home stretch
to win the coveted prize. Either of
these ladies can land the prize if they
will take the time to get out and So
licit new subscriptions and renewals.
Every bunch of seven new subscrip-
tions means 12,200 votes and seven
renewals will bring $500 votes and
the way to win is to get these new
subscriptions and renewals, as they
count up rapidly and they carry with
them the big bonus offers which con-
testants should be seeking.
These merchants coupons may be
collected from any and all merchants
who are giving coupons, and must be
brought to The Herald office in
punches of forty tickets to be counted
by the publisher or one of his as
sistants before the coupons will be is
sued.
Saturday, June 21st, the voting
will cease and the final count will be
made that evening. This is but a
short time ahead and it is worth the
while of the candidates to get out
among the people and work like Tro-
JAMS from now until the ballot box
is closed at o'clock in the afternoon
of the day mentioned. No ballots
will be received after 4 o'clock under
any circumstances, no matter who
NAV have them or what excuse they

at the proper time.
