WHY WE DO THIS. A newspaper with a subscription list the step of Tho Georgian spends a great deal of time and money each year collecting and renewing Its subscriptions. Experience has shown that the use of special prizes and the employment of experts to do this work Is a wise Investment frofn a busi ness standpoint. We simply contract with an expert who knows the man agement of these things a* the engineer knows his engine. We have, a special office In The Georgian building, In which to conduct the work; a large force of assistants will conduct the contest and person ally visit almost every home In Georgia. The Georgian and News Is main ly n Georgia paper—It goes some to other states, but not nearly so much as ether papers do. We do not try to get circulation much outside of Geor gia. We are making It a home paper. This opportunity Js superior to most similar ones given here before, because the wealth of-prizes which have seldom been equaled are to be divided to Atlanta and Georgia alone. As we have told our readers, the advertiser, who pays three times as much toward the expense of newspapers as the render pays, needs large clrulatlons to bring him customers. So newspapers can afford to give these Inducements from time to time for the benefits they bring their ad vertisers. The Georgian Is going to 30.000 homes now, and we expect to add from five to ten thousand more before'this contest ends In Febru ary. These so-called prizes are genuine and will be exhibited In promi nent places soon. The Georgian does not simply give them away—for we get much In return—but the onq who wins the prize need make no outlay, but simply ask her friends to take The Georgian and use the votes this gives for her benefit. For Full Explanation of this Contest See Another Page of this Paper. CONTEST IS ASSUMING GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS Candidates in Some Districts Have Taken the Hint and Have Started to Work For Subscriptions. Those who hire entered the contest here started with a will that would enthuse most anyone and they ore getting the new sub scriptions In n manner that la really start ling. Moat of the dlntrlcts hare made on excellent showing tliua far and by the time the next unnouncement la puhlUihtMl there will be puny others who will nave more than ono or two thousand vote* to their credit, as a year’s subscription counts for 2,400 yotaa, providing the subscription Is a new one. In some of the districts pub Ushcd In the first announcement some of the candidates did not have enough votes to equal a year's subscription, ao if you the least bit Interested you can easily get Into the race and hare nu excellent chance of winning ono of the fine prises that we are offe ' Now — — the part of those who wish to win one of the prizes, aa a new yearly subscription may put you In the lead In your district, and If you go about the contest right by working for the subscriptions you cun not only wlu « prise, but you may have a choice of tho rises.

Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson will delight theatergoers Friday and Saturday at the Grand with an elaborate production of that famous old t^lay, "nip Van Winkle." • There la no play lh the English language which con match the record of Jefferaou'a "nip.” The un rivaled art which the'artor employs In por traying Washington Irving's genial and thirsty hero haa kept It a growing favorite for over half a century. The name of Jef- feroon seems to be Indissolubly linked with the Interesting character, and although the present Jefferson Is following In tho foot steps of his great father, the critics are klud enough to say that his work Is almost as pleasing as that of the elder Jefferson. Judging from the Interest manifested In this engagement three large audleuces should witness the performances Friday and Maturday at the Grand. “Tha County Chairman." Few attractions playing the Bijou hare given such universal satisfaction as "The County Chairman," this week's offering at the popular playhouse. This clever satire on politics Js certainly one of George Ade'a l»e»t offerings. "The County Chairman" brought George Ada first Into prominence, and although this comedy baa been played for years, ft scums destined to continue for many more. The Thanksgiving matinee and the per formance at night will draw large au diences. Not during the past ten yeara of theatrical history has there been such an unqualified ■access In New York ns Mortimer M. Tbeloe’s "Wine.
