Did you improve last week’s op portunity to start a reserve fund or add to the one you already have started? If you didn’t you didn’t you have overlooked a big chance. The contest has now reached the ’.stage where steady connirAmt “work is the; one b st bet. Don’t delay your purpose. The one safe serviceable, certain, remunerative quality in every pursuit is the quality of attention to one purpose. It is the man or woman who patiently, humbly, toiiiully plods over the rough places who ultimately wins suc cess. Don’t get it in your head that you can’t be beaten. It used to be generally accepted that “you can’t regulate,” you can’t regulate the railroads or the trusts, where upon the people and goverment got busy and proceeded to regu late. It’s a pretty safe proposition that whenever a business attains such proportions that it “cannot” be regulated, that business will be regulated. Six-room house in Locust Grove for sale at a bargain.

PAGES $i A Year And so it is in the contest ness. A contestant gets the idea that she cannot be beate». She is sat isfied that she has enough votes to ovc rtop any competitor. She hugs this delusion to her b rw. t and slacks up work durisg the best part of the campaign. Thai comes the cruel announcement of the judges that someone else has won. Soim-lime the contest t stays under water a long time, but when she does come to the sur face, her ijea about her own shrewdness has suffered a violent reversal and from that time forth she’s a better and more likeable candidate. ; Just remember that it is going to mean work from now until the 1 last minute. Much can be accom -1 plished in the intervening time pe riod between now and the close | of the contest. If you mean to win one of the four prizes you had better get j busy and stay busy. It may look as if one of the prizes is alr«edy ! won, but over confidence may be l fatal, so keep working. If you know how to work you want to use that knowledge now. This is :the time when your work y.ill , count. For the next 30 days we cdfer our entire stock of shoes at a dis count. W. B. J. Ingram Co. Mr. H. M. Tolleson is in this week on business. Mrs. J. F. Wall and Jim Fspnk have been visiting relatives and attending the Fair in Macon.
