 19, You Get 2,000 Votes

Every candidate in the contest has put in some hard ticks since last Thursday and several changes were made in the stand ing of all the can n1idates except the first three, who remain the same but nearer together in the number of votes. Those getting new subscribers made the great est gains in increasing the num- Der of votes credited to them, and while doing so collected sev- eral subscriptions that were in arrears.
 A large number of votes given out by the merchants have also been turned in during the past week showing an increase in the business that has been coming to Carlisle during that time.
 For every new subscription turned in by 6o'clock D. m. Wed. nesday, Sept. 19, we will give two thousand (2000) votes, and will state as our reason for changing the time back to Wed nesday is that making Thursday noon as the limit makes us late with our paper; so remember Wednesday, at 6 p. m. Sept. 19. Everybody in the contest is do ing good work and there will no doubt be many changes in the standing before the end. There were some nominations made at the start, but as the candidates have not reported they have been dropped from the list, but will be reipstated if they wish to come back in.
