This period also compares with our First Missing Word > Contest last year, in which Ml M. L. Brittain secured the l prize— $1,033.50.

Tlie series has been of extraordinary interest, and (lie idea seems to grow 1 in the public’s favor. The book containing the sentence is a standard publication and ' has been sealed up and placed with Mr. \V. A. Hemphill, President and'Business Manager of The Constitution, who will hold it safely until January l, 1S9S. i The sentence speaks for itself and submits a very plain proposi¬ tion for you to solve. The Contest Began November 1.1897. The Contest Ends January 1.1898. This contest lasts two months and Ihe amount to he divided will probably be in the neighborhood #2,000.
