Prizes to Local Club|GOOd
Amount of Work.

The Greenwood Woman's Club has
been declared the winner of the $loC
prize offered in connection with an
advertising contest in which the clubs
of Mississippi joined. The contest
was connected with the special FEEDER
alton Edition of the Jackson Daily
News. The judges who decided were
three well-known Memphis club ladies'
The Greenwood club turned in a
total of $500 for advertising in the
special edition. The club was repre-
sented at the Jackson Office by Mrs.
Monroe McClurg.
The report of the judges is as fol-
lows:
Mrs. Edward McGehee, of Como,
Miss, invited three well-known Mem
phis club women to serve as judges IN
an advertising contest by the clubs OF
the Mississippi Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs in connection with the
special federation edition of n OF
the Mississippi dailies. Their report is
| given as follows:
"After careful consideration of data
and rules in the contest for advertis-
ing for the Woman's Edition of the
Jackson Daily News, we find that all
advertisements should have been in
the jackson Daily News office by May
/, and paid-up advertisements would
have precedence.
Greenwood brought in $500 by May
1, all paid except a few dollars sent
in shortly afterward.
Gan extension Of time was granted
to give all clubs another chance to
gain the prize, but no club brought
in as large an amount of advertising
as Greenwood. We, the undersigned,
therefore declare, the Woman's Club
of Greenwood, represented at the
Jackson office by Mrs. Monroe Nc
Clurg, to be the winner of the $500
prize.
1.-THE Como Woman's Club receives
honorable mention, coming second in
the list, with 1894. Meadville made
a good record.

had the same chance as those of lar

ADVICE TO BRIDES,

Marry when the year is new,
Always loving, kind and true:
When February birds do mate,
You may wed, nor dread your fate:
1t you wed when March winds blow.
Joy and sorrow both you'll know;
Marry in April when you can,
Joy for maiden and for man;
Marry in the month of May,
You will surely rue the day;
Marry when June roses blow,
Then Ger land and sea you'll 60;
Those who in July do wed,
Must labor always for their bread:
Whoever wed in August be,
Many a change are sure to zee:
Marry in September's shine,
Your living will be rich and fine:
