The weekly’s Great Piano Voting
cqntest is nearing its clos 3 and as
the time for the final count and
awarding of the prizes approaches
the interest in the outcome is un
precedented, the whole community
being stirred from center to cir
cumference. •
The young ladies realize that it
is now or never —that the time has
finally come for the final dash
down the home stretch, and with
the beautiful Oberineyer & Sons’
piano and other valuable prizes
before them they are working as
never before. It is no longer a
catch-as-catch-can contest, but a
rousing, systematic hand to-hand
battle of ballots, The contestants
realize that to the victor belongs
the spoils, and that each young
lady lined up for the final dash is
an opponent that will require some
tall hustling to overcome.
The young ladies are working
cautiously and playing the game
with all the diplomacy of trained
politicians. Friends are being
organized for the grand finale, the
few working days of the con
test will show as pretty a race as
the people of this town have ever
seen. From hints dropped along
the wayside it is evident there, will
be some big surprises when the
final count is announced. No one
but the cantestants themselves
know how many votes one may
have unvoted. There is always a
possibility of “some dark horse
coming under the wire ahead in
the field” with a bunch of votes
that have been held back. Con
testants in the lead should not rest
on their oars at this stage of the
game in the belief that they have
the race won. A contestant
far in the rear may dump in a
bunch of votes at the last sufficient
to sweep aside all opposition. The
piano will no doubt be won and
lost many times in the next few
days. Some of those making a
seemingly poor showing now, un
doubtedly, will at the last give the
leaders a run for the money.
These laggingonesare saying noth
ing but doing a lot of woodsaw
ing. Nothing worth having was
eyer gained without some effort,
and a $400.00 piano is not to be
picked up any day. This is a
prize worthy of the most strenuous
efforts of any young lady and the
contestant who is wise will ex
pend .every ounce of her energy
in scouring the country side for
votes from now until the close of
the eonlest. The one who wins
the piano -will be the. one who
marshals her forces the most ef
fectively and who hurls every
ounce of her voting strength into
the arena at the final count.
YOUNG LADIES, REMEMBER
that when you go home on tha
evening of January 23rd, with a
beautiful $400.00 Obermeyer &
Sons piano tucked under your arm
all your hard work and worry will
be forgotten. It is an opportunity
that comes but once in a lifetime.
Teil these friends who have told
you and promised you before the
contest closes to help you that the
time has now come for them to
make good their promise, and that
they should rally to your support
in these - closing days.
On Tuescay July Bth, the ballot
box will be placed in the Bank of
Henry County, where all candi
dates can deposit their votes. If
you do not wish any person to
know whom you are voting for,
just bring your cash to the Editor

Each Sunday School in the county is supposed to send-its Superin
tendent and two others as delegates to this meeting and every mem
ber is especially invited.
The meeting indicated by this program is an interdenominational
meeting, and every worker in every White Sunday School in Henry
County is urgently requested to attend. The Henry County Sunday
School Association is auxiliary, to the Georgia Sunday School Associa
tion, which is a co-operative effort.on the part of all denominations
to improve Sunday School conditions and Sunday School workers.
It advocates the latest and best methods of Sunday School work and
stands only for those interests that are common to Sunday Schools
of all denominations. The plans and methods suggested by this
Association are practicable for all Sunday Schools, as they do not
touch on Church doctrines. The work is by way of suggestion, not
by authority; therefore, it helps many, it hinders none. The object is
helpful and brotherly co-operation, not organic union. The officers
of the Association are leading Christian business men of ail evangeli
cal denominations.
T. J. HORTON, O. O. TOLLESON,

Secretary Of the Georgia Sunday
School Association, who is to be

To have’heard him once is to
want to hear himjagain. It would
be hard to find a man who is
more full • of enthusiasm and
energy for the Sunday School
cause, or who has done more for
it than Mr. Sims.
Come and get the benefit from
this meetihg and help with your
presence and discussion. We
won’t have another such in a year.
