Manager Contest .Department The Georgian and News. H. C. CROSTIIWAIT. Notary Public. (My term expires April. 1111.) Mrs. John Perdue, 703 Edge wood avenue, Atlanta, District No. 1, first extra prize, $60 00. Mrs. J. 0. Edwards, Griffin, Dis trict No. 30, second extra prize, $25.00. These are the winners of the extra troney prises offered In The Georgian's popular voting contest for the candi dates who hn.l secured the largest number up to Saturday, December 14. at 1# p. wt\"* ”■ •' 1 In accordance. with, the extra prtxe plan, as originally announced, the actu al number nt votes secured by the win ners la not given, tha reason for this lMlng that to announce the vtflea would be an Injustice to these candidates, with all candidates who have the right to w.lthho|d votes Issued them until Just before the close at the main con test If they so desire. As repeatedly explained by The Georgian,' the votes are Issued upon subscriptions when brought or sent Into The Georgian con test department, but every candidate has the rigid to cast them at any time U|> to tho close of the contest. The ex tra prises were offered upon n basis "f tho votes secured on subscriptions only, whether cast or not, and the list of candidates end their ’ relative stand- Ing, printed from time to time, gives only the votes nrtually cost by each. A new list fa printed In this Issue of The Georgian, giving the latest stand ing of candidates, on votes actually cast l»\ It.CM, TMg explanation Is repeated In order that there may be no misunderstanding of the matter In the mlnde of any of those Intereated In the contest. One of the best features of the ex tra prixe offer Is that even though all did not get one of the extra prtxes, yet .there lx hardly a contestant In the en tire race that did not receive some ben efit through the effort to secure one of the. extra prises and also through tbs extra vote offer. Thousands of votes went out ae reserves to the candidates, end they are now holding them for further use. So. If you see some one top the list with reveml thousand votes soma day, do not be the least bit sur prlMdt The vote list wblcb appears In Ibis Issue shows that thers was some heavy balloting during the past few days, as It Is only three days since the Isut list was published, and yet In tills list there are over a quarter of a million votes cast since the last announcement This shows that there has been some great work done by the conteetants lately and that they are very much In the race with the determination of winning one of the prises. Some of the contestants ore bound t„ be a bit disappointed because they did not win one of J he prises, but ail could not win. It was very close, how. ever, and In some of the esses It was necessary to go ovsr the lists three or four times to make sura that no mis take had been mado In the votes, und then to take another look to make sure the figures were correct before signing the order showing who had won the prises. Along with the announcement of the winners made In this Issue, we ure go ing to giro noma of the otber candi dates s chance to wlp , extra money prlxes by offering more 6t these extra prlxes. This time we are making them, larger than before so as to give every one In tlie race something worth work ing for during the holidays. Here it the offer: To the candidate who secures the largest number of new three months’ subscript Ions during the coming two weeks we will give $78 In gold; to tbe candidate securing the second largest number of new three months’ subscrip tions. we will give $60. and to the can didate securing the third highest num ber of new three months' subscriptions, we will give $25 In gold. This means that we are going to double our first offer, and that we have divided the prises so that there will be three win ners. and yet the prtxes wilt be well v orth every effort that you may use to win one .of them. How la this offer for a New Year’s present T Don't yon think It would be pretty line to win any on# of these prises In addition to securing tho many additional votes that your work would bring, thus putting you nearer to one of the capital prlxes? We whuld like to be shown any lady In the eonteet who wouldn’t work hard for two weeks with »udh an Incentive. You may be the last candidate. In the contest, and atlll have the same chance to win one of these extra prlxes that any one of the leaders has. It’s the holiday season—and the spir it of helpfulness and liberality Is In the air. Subscriptions should come easier than ever before and the votes pile up mighty fast. More Extra Votes Offered. And here la anqtjier extra vote offer that will go hand In hand with the extra money prizes offered above, and both will work together very effecflve- ly: On every new six-month subscription HOLIDAY LINENS Some !Wonde rfully Attracti v e Tilings for Tasteful Buyers Tke Linen Department is fcrimful of fine suggestions for gift-kuyers wko are fond of combining utility witk grace m tkeir offerings. .Napery of tke staple and more fancy kinds covers a wide range of possikilities for tke seeker of “‘successful" gifts.

Now do not think because you did not win one of the other extra prlxes that you hava no chance In this, for you have the same a» those who won the other extra prtxes. Theae may have seen all of their friends, and, therefore, they may not he able to get half as many votes or subscriptions aa you can. Don’t let this chance slip by without at lenst making an effort to win one of the extra prliea. Remember that you have all to gain and nothing to lose, for you get the. extra votes whether you win one of the extra prlxes or not. Now- Is the time for a little effort, especially If you have Just entered the race, for some of those who have been In the race for eome time have gone to sleep and are waiting for the prise to drop Into thetr hands. So wake up and show some of the others that you are tn the race. There le room for every one In the race, and those who do the work now will 1m) the winners In the end. Opportunity for New Candidates. Candidates who have Just entered the race have a chance td win one of the prisee. for they have not seen any of their frlenda, while aoml of the others have seen nearly all of their friends and have secured most of thetr subscriptions and turned them In. There le also a line chance for those who have been entered but who have not been working thus far In the race. Suppose you arc In some one of the districts where there ere a number of leading candidates, and you would Ilka to win a prise. This te your very op portunity to do so, for you have a chance to get a lot of extra votes and nt the same time win one of the extra prices which are being offered. IVe want onca more to call your at tention to tbe fact that thle will be the last extra prixe offer tnnounow. so if you fell to take advantage of this offer you wilt have lost the chance of the contest to win one of the extra cash prtxes and also to Increase greatly your vote. A little work now Is the thing for you to do. so get busy and see your friends today. The merry Yuletlde bring* cheer to moat every one. so ere your friends now and jft subscriptions from them. They are happy and they will bo more than pleased to make you happy tn turn by giving you a year’s subscription to The Georgian. During the past year eome of your good friends may have gone tn other parts of the country, and they would I be delighted to reed the hews from At lanta. and you can readily see from this that there is nothing more appro priate then u, subscription to The Georgian fnr a qhristmas present. Make ■unit of your friends happy and give them a year's, subscription to the best paper In Atlanta, for every one likes to read a good, clean paper, and that la what wo are offering. Make up your mind to send them the paper today for one year and rive the roles to some one of the ladles now In the contest, or enter your favorite’s name. There It atlll plenty of time, and there are plenty of prises for every one. FIREWORKS—Farlinger, 80 and 82 N. Broad.
