The News values its country cor
respondents very highly and is al
ways ready and willing to assist
them in their work and to extend
to them every possible courtesy
and favor; and as a further evi
dence of the value the News places
on the work of its correspondents,
they are to be given the opportuni
ty to win some valuable prizes.
These prizes will be given sole
ly as a reward of merit for news-
gathering and will go to those cor
respondents who cover their fields
in the most thorough manner be
tween April 1st, 1905, and Dec.
31st, 1905. Fine writing will not
count in this contest. The relative
size of the towns, villages and
communities represented will be
considered, and the correspondents
furnishing the most regular and
most faithful service and sending
in the largest amount ol real news
| in proportion to the size of their
fields | will receive the rewards.
Awards will be made by a commit
tee of three competent and disin
terested citizens, unacquainted
with the names of any correspond
ent.
The first prize awarded in this
contest will be a handsome gold
watph, ladies’ or gentleman’s size,
worth $25. The second prize is
set of Shakespeare’s Works, in
volumes, valued at $12. The third
prize is a Webster’s Unabridged
Dictionary, in full sheep binding,
valued at #5.
These valuable prizes are worth
striving for and the News antici
pates a lively contest for them.
Prospective correspondents will
have until April 1st to enter the
contest, and doubtless other names
will be added before that date to
the News’ large list of reporters.
