Afie the votes are all in and counted we will nublifsh the final vote of etch conteetaut for the varions prizeP, showing the total vote each tie got. From now on workers will have te grope in the dark, take what the. have got and add to it whatever the'% can get and win out if they can. We, ourselves, even will not know bowa the contestants stand, for as the votet. come in they will be immediatel1 dropped into at locked box and wo shall not try to keep track of them. I We aim to give everybody a fair sbow and a square deal in this thing. Wo did in our other one and we will it. this one. Coupons come in ad coupone go I out, and talk continues to be in dulged in. Sometimes it is Herd, then Freeman, Masters, Allgood, Arnold, Hendricks, Hester, Hendtr son--all of the carriors in the race get dicusesed, and we are frequently ' appealed to for our opinion as to tbe winner, each person, of course, cham. pioning their own favoriter, though they all are 'earful of losing a voti. Our reply is the one who gets the most work done-rceives the most votes-will most assuredly be the winner, but who such an one will be we cannot say, for we nout. assured y do not have the remotest idea. W. wish they could all win, but as they can't here's lick to the successkii one. "Go it, old 1os, you are b und t. win"-if you get the most votes it tbis contest. Our eintest has nO got to thf point where it is "everybody for selt and the devil for the hindmost" - therefore they at e all trying to paoo the leaders. Do all you can for your carrier. He pays you daily visits through alt kinds of weather and he would aip preciate your help in this contest Each carrier needs the buggy, either now, or soon, and he wilt serve yen even more faithfully if you win this one tor him. We have a lot of old back acr ounts that we would be mighty glad to issue coupons on. These accounts ars on go.,d men-oanes of the beetj men of the county-- who have been' megligent and we haven't sent then. * dan for It, for we know thoem and know when we see thean or they Oome ta town they wilt pay it. Atk your neighbor if he isnt a "cut-off," and if he- won't pay the debt and gnve you the coupon, He will probably i e only too glad to do so to help liai earraer. While we wish to collect ourmmney, this .scheme was not put on wholly 4 for this one purpose alone, but to try and swell our subscription .list over the county so as to help the routes to be self-sustaidsg. These routea se gauged and must average above a certain number of piteces of aui t er month, other wise they will be out cif. 4 private ommuncation last fall frjzm Congresman Alken stated that * amue of the routes in -thIs counoy were in a orilical conditio, so we inaugurated thIs contest with the VWlgl'ionwid 'bestir theagtves'for th 4ir repnfotive ot rera and prootre enoigh new eubsoribers to make the ronte.. safe. 1omo routes bive had W6l iQf niew issmea Added II.
