Contest Notes.
',here will be wo vot.q. printed netx'
week. This is the last one. 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.

dropped into at locked box and wo

We aim to give everybody a fair sbow
and a square deal in this thing. Wo

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.

point where it is "everybody for selt
and the devil for the hindmost" -

Do all you can for your carrier.
He pays you daily visits through alt
kinds of weather and he would aip

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

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

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
