MISS MARY ADAMS LEADS
IN BIG SUBSCRIPTION CONTEST
The Journal’s big subscription
contest is moving along nicely.
Miss Mary Adams led for the week
and received sufficient votes to
put her in the lead for the contest,
but with two weeks yet to go it is
still auyoue's race.
The standing in the contest at
present is as follows: Miss Mary
Adams, 8071 votes. Miss Lucile
Castleberry 6063 votes.
Miss Lauise Spence 4273 votes.
A very interesting feature that is i
developing in the contesr is the
amount of interest that is beiug
shown in it by persons not in the
contest. Over a thousand votes
were cast for the different contest¬
ants by subscribers without the
knowledge of the contestants,
bonuses as well as votes were turn
ed over to the contestants.
In spite of the satisfactory pro¬
gress of the contest, we are still
dissapointed that there are only
three contestants. Any girl could
get enough votes among the
members of her own family in
half a day to make three or four
dollars, if she would ouly try.
Fred Cook Seriously Hurt
Fred Cook, the fourteen year-old
son of Mr. F- C. Cook, was serious¬
ly hurt Tuesday morning at Mc
Elvey’s mill. In some way he
was caught on a piece of shafting
and was whirled ov^ * a „d over un¬
til the machinery could be stopped.
His arm was broken in three
places, and he was badly bruised.
He is improving rapidly but it will
be some time before his recovery
cau be completed.
