them all to renew and to enter the Contest.
THIS MEANS $1,600
For tne Missing Word Fund, and every additional sub¬

This period also compares with our First Missing Word
> Contest last year, in which Ml M. L. Brittain secured the

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¬

The Contest Began November 1.1897.
The Contest Ends January 1.1898.
This contest lasts two months and Ihe amount to he divided will
