According to Mrs. Forsythe he had
been restless throughout the night.

room, where his wife found him lying

utes later.
He was alive but talking incohe-
rently at the time, and Mrs. For
sythe called DR.. H. w. Partlow. He
died. however. before the latter ar

SPECIAL OFFER OF EXTRA VOTES
FOR EACH $40 CLUB TURNED IN

Four hundred thousand extra votes
for a club of all classes of Subscrlp-
tions are offered during the next two
weeks on each and every club of $4,000
besides the regular vote as is shown
in the table herewith produced. The
price of the paper and the number OF
regular votes given with each sub
scription is shown, and when enough
subscriptions by or for any one con-
testant. are sent in to form club of
$4,000, collected either by the regular
collectors, paid at the office by any
patron of the paper, or given in person
to the ladies who are representing the
paper in the big drive, the large vote
of 100000 will be issued.
There is no limit to the number of
clubs any one contestant may secure
or have to her credit and the big offer
is the best and largest general offer
that will be made during the entire
campaign.
The regular vote will decline after
the coming Saturday, March %, as is
shown in the table, but the clubs of
$4,000 will secure the 100000 extra
votes for two weeks, the offer being
from March II to 20 inclusive. A one
year subscription at $500, will secure
10000 regular votes the coming week
and 10000 next week. The $500 turn
ed in during either week will count on
the club. 1t is therefore to the inter
est of all the ladies who expect to Sc
cure the largest votes to have their
friends pay in all the subscriptions
possible this week from March II to
%, inclusive.
The big drive is on in earnest and
more than one hundred of the ladies
who have been Nominated are in to
make the drive a success. There now
appears to be no doubt that The
Times-Recorder will more than double
its circulation through this drive on
account of so many ladies allowing
their names to remain in the list of
active workers.
Every enterprising citizen should
assist the ladies by saving the votes
that appear in the paper every day,
