one of the extra money prizes which were
offered.
The nnuounccmont of the winners of tbe
extra prizes will bo made next Wednesday
M.’toiiioon in The Georgian, and tho winners
will be notified. It Is practically Impossible
to give nn estimate ns to the number of
votes given to contestants Inst week, but
all may rest assured that It was more than
a million.
Heveral new candidates have entered the
. ire mid are out with the determination of
winning one of the cnpltnl prizes mid they
have their friends at work getting subscrip
tions for them.
To candidates we wont to sayt If at nny
time you do not receive full credit for all
tb« votes which you turn In, let us know,
for It Is n hard matter to take cars of sev
eral million votes and not make nny mis
takes, so If there are any mistakes made In
the count, come and tell ns about It, for we
are anxious to have every single vote cor
rect, and we want your assistance. You ran
hell) us If you will, so do not wait, but

large number of subscriptions with wrong

nnoble to tend the pnper. As s result the
subscriber complains that we are falling
to deliver the paner, when be or SM ana
R aid In ndvance for It. We would rather
ave all our subscriptions paid for In Ad
vance. and It la n mistake to assume that
we do not give such subscriptions the
prompt and carefnl attention that they
should have, simply because we have our
money In advance.
Evory Prize Given as Advertised.
We have received queries from time to
time asking how we can offer so many
