Andrew Stranded, aged GA years,
died at about six o'clock Saturday
evening in Sam Harmony's saloon, in
this city, of heart failure. He had

MANY GET CORRECT SOLUTION
NeWs-Budget Missing Word Contest
Must Have Been Easy
Last Week

The News-Budget received a great
many solutions to it's missing word
contest of last week, and an unusual
ly large per cent of the answers re-
ceived were correct, so the omissions
must have been easy to detect last
week Some weeks no correct an
swers for all of the omitted words
have been received, but the last
weeks test brought correct replies
from practically every town in the
county and many from Ladysmith.
Replies were received from several
in adjoining counties.
The first solution received was
correct, the first time since this SER
les of contests was started that this
has happened. NJ L. Noble submitted
this answer and was the winner.
The missing words were as fol-
lows:
In Thompson Mercantile Co.'S ad-
vertisement, the word men" in the
line-"The right clothes for stylish
young men,"
In the advertisement of Karst's
Hardware, the word received" in
the line-"We have just received"
etc.
In the Ladysmith Furniture Co.'S
advertisement, the word "store' in
ha ;nn-SCoY ho of pa6oPCOn'G
Furniture Store"
In replacing the missing words this
week, the one last mentioned was
forgotten and is still missing. 1t will
not be counted in this weeks con-
test, however.
Who is going to get an easy dol
lar this week? It's fun to try. You
cannot lose anything. Get busy!

According to reports from the var

subscribed by many of our business
men for stock in the proposed league
team, it. is proposed to collect $500
towards suits and other equipment

may be determined whether or not
either government will make unreason-
