Won Fine Sewing Machine.

Last week the DEBORAH Furniture
Company OF this city advertised the
giving away absolutely free of a new
model Free sewing machine. The
date was set for last Monday. No pur-
chase was required TO get ticket on
the machine and hundreds of tickets
were secured by our people. To get
the machine the party holding the
lucky ticket had to be at the store
when the machine was given away.
At three o'clock the hour set, the
crowd began to gather, and it was a
regular circus crowd too. Everybody
was in happy frame of mind, natur-
ally each one anticipating that he or
she would be the lucky one.
A factory expert was on hand to
demonstrate the good qualities of the
Free machine and he was compelled
to do so on a wagon out in front of
the store, as the crowd was so large
that only a small part could gain adj
mittance to the store. The expert
told the crowd that single people
were barred from participating in the
drawing, but that the proprietors of
the DEBORAH Furniture Co. had taken
down the bars, on the strength that
they would enter into ranks of the
benedicts. In the matter of draw
ing the number, it was decided the
fourth number out of the box would
get the machine. A little girl got up
on the wagon, was blindfolded and
proceeded to draw. The fourth num-
Der out No. 1906 was the winner and
was held by Miss Ella Wick, a teach
er in the public schools here.
