DORR FINALLY
GETS TO MOVE

For many long months r. F. Dorr
has had his furniture store in lit
tie old building acaoss the street
from the jail, and only about hall
enough room.
Mr.. Dorr was about the same
shape as The Press was for the next
few months after the FIRE. Sherman
said war was it.
But now things are different for
him. He has nice roomy store
wnere he will have an opportunity
to display his fine stock of house
furnishings to good advantage and
to change his mind without going
outside.
He is now located in the same room
which was formerly the Marion post
office, which the Marion Bank has
just vacated, Mr.. Dorr will no doubt
be glad to see his many friends in
his new place of business.

The mammoth popularity and sub
scriptiop contest which has been run
ming on the Press for the past week
is steadily gaining interest In the
county and the contestants are work
INK tooth and nail in order 10 win the
Dodge touring car and other valuable
prizes to be given away. Mrs. Fred
Brown Of Mnttocn. is leading the list
by small margin, but the entire
list Of candidates are closely follow
ing, and when II is taken into con-
sideration that each one year sub
scription taken during the opening
period counts $4,000 votes. II is read
lily seen Just how few subscriptions
some other candidates will have TO
get In order to dislodge the leader.
New and renewal subscriptions are
pouring into the Press Office daily
and present indications are that the
Press will have the largest subscrip
ton list Of any paper In western Ken
lucky at the close Of the campaign.
All Of the contestants should bear
in mind that they have an equal
chance TO share in the distribution Of
the prizes rs practically three fourths
" the subscribers Of the Press live
on the Rural Routes and smaller
towns and each and every resident
" each section should be seen per
sonally and given n chance to sub
scribe TO the paper. The Press Is un-
doubtedly one Of the best papers pub
lished in the section and is under the
management Of experienced newspa-
per publishers and no difficulty should
he experienced In securing the sub
scription Of practically very citizen
of the vicinity. Merchants will find
the Press much better medium IN
which To place their advertisements
as more people are reading the Press
than ever before.
Candidates should bear in mind tina,
the bonus offer. the largest extra vote

Each and every candidate should do
all in her power therefore to get ev-

contestants have been advised by peo-
pie who do not understand the rules
Of the contest to hold their subscrip'
