The Largest Contest Ever t With the closing of the contest for t the beautiful prizes offered by The Sen- g tinel, there was ended one of the largest t and most successful events of the kind ever held in this section. During the entire eight weeks of the contest c the contest departmentwas kept buried s in votes, and as thecloing days began y to draw near the friends of the contest ants who wanted the rizes grew more t anxious and showerevotes on the de- s partment, and Satay-afternoon the ballot box was almost ful, and it was i no small job for the judges to count the s heavy mass.of little white papers. s A Main Feature If there is one class of citizeis more p interested in the great 'contest just closed, it is the- bitsiness men and the general advertisers, who have watched with interest the weekly increase in votes made by the contestants, and have drawn their own conclusions as to the great increase in cireulation, which means an added value to their advertise-C ments. This comes as a natural result, since the greater number of readers to The Sentinel adds to the great value of the paper as an advertising medium. Largest Circulation in 43 Yer We are gad to inform the public that1 The Sentie now has the largest circu lation that it has ever had since .the paper was established frytree years ago. We not only boast oftwice the circulation of any ter paper .in the county, but are pleased-to-say treare very few papers ~in the.state itas I lag a circulation as The Sentinel. t uring the few weeks of this contest1t the circulation of The Sentinel has been1 increased one hundred per cent. Fairness of the Contest Disinterested parties everywhere,bus iess men and the contestants them selves, are praising The Sentinel for the impartial treatment accorded each con- 1 testant. Everting was done to facil itate the wor of the contestants and, their friends, and the result is that ever ting has turned out in the most gratifying manner. . c.ontestants Energetic It must be said in recognition of the I good work done by the contestants that they devoted themselves heartily to the cause, and through their efforts the. public geerall awakened to the fact that TeSentinel is certainly the paper I for the home, and today the have hun- I dreds of new subscribers wo are now among their staunchest friends.

The mere mention of the names of these gentlemen is assurance of their integrity. They are well known and highly esteemed by their business associates and by all with whom they come in contact as thorough and honor able business men. At Could Not Win The one feature of the contest that we do not like is that everyone could ot win a prize, but in the very nature Af things this is impossible, and there is sympathy in plenty for those who have o material benefit to show for their ffort. Later on they will surely find that benefit there- has been, and of a iigh kind, for they have necessarily de veloped self-confidence, business ability, md independence which will help them to be successful in the battle that lasts ong after the "battle of ballots" is 16'rgtten, that this is the battle of life. Those who win certainly feel richly -ewarded for all their efforts, and they will appreciate the handsome prizes far nore than if they had been laid at their .eet without any work on their part, mdwithout the manifold associations of riendship and good will which go with :hese prizes, won by the assistance of :heir acquaintances. Wake the Awards With Pleasure It is a pleasant task for us to make he awards to the successful candidates, md we do this with the heartiest good wishes for their enjoyment of them, and . keen appreciation of the work that ey have done in our behalf during the )ast several weeks.

Hatcher wrote the fol owing: "In the first place, I wish to congrat late the contestants on their good vort. It is a great compliment to each f them, butespecially to the *inners, f course, that they had sufficient influ nce and so many friends as to enable hem to make the showing indicated by he votes. But the contestant did a ,pod turn'for his friends when he took heir subscriptions, for they certainly ot a " in when they paid a dollar or a yqar s subscriptio to such an ex ellent paper a-T Sentinel.
