The Henry County Weekly VOL. XXXVIII. SPECIAL BONUS OFFER MADE IN POPULAR VOTING CONTEST. It Holds Good Until the First Count on May 24th. When Votes Will be Counted And Ten Dollars Awarded. CONTESTANTS WILL WORK HARD FOR THE FIRST COUNT. The big prize voting contest is attracting more attention every day, so as incentive to all contest ants we have decid d to give the following special votes: For every seven new subscrip tions 4000 extra, making a total of 8,200, These subscriptions need not be for one party for seven years, or for seven different peo ple for one year, but must be new subscribtions for seven years, and must be handed in all at one time. No single subscription for less than SI.OO. For every seven renewal sub scriptions 3000 extra, making a total of 6,500. These may be for ssven different people, or all for one, but must all be renewal and must be handed in all at one time. The above special offer vill hold good until the first count on May 24th, at’which time votes will be counted by the judges, who will award the $lO in gold to the con testant who receives the largest siurryber of votes up to the first count. The ballot box will close promptly at 7:30 p. m. on Saturday, May 24. Remember the $lO in gold to be given to the contestant having the highest number of votes is a special prize offered by The Week ly. It will in no way affect the standing of the winner of the con test. A few contestants thought that the winning of the $lO would af fect their votes for the piano. It will not. All votes found in the box on May 24th will be included in the final count, which will de cide the winners of the piano and other prizes. Remember that each subscrip tion you receive-either new, re newal or back--will get a certain humber of votes with each year and those votes with an extra bonus vote also. All votes to be counted must be NOMINATING BLANK. Popular Voting Contest I hereby nominate or suggest the name of Address As a lady worthy to become a candidate in your Popular Voting Con test.
