paign came to a close after one
of the most interesting and hot
ly contested subscription cam
paigns in the history of the state.
It was a success from start Il
finish and has resulted in adding
the names of at least thousand

putting the News easily in the
class of the weekly with the
largest circulation. While we
do not expect TO be financially
rewarded because of the expen-
sive premiums given and the
cost of conducting the campaign,
but we have accomplished our
only object that of having a
large circulation. The entire
proceedings, which were ! n
charge of Rev. j. H. Shepard,
of Portales, were conducted on
the square and all were Impress
ed with the absolute fairness of
the contest. 1t was simply a
question of the hardest worker
