ABSOLUTELY PIKE
In order to obtain all the news, to stimulate correspondents and to advertise its business THE JOUUNAL Company has adopted a rather unique plan. Every week THE JOURNAL will give to that person furnishing the best news item a handsomely bound book by some Btandard author. These contests are open to everyone, including THE JounNAL'S regular correspondents. In case no item of any importance should be submitted during a week, the prize shall go l.o the correspondent writing the best letter. By "best letter" we mean not the longest letter, but the most important and newsj one. Items and letters should be left at or mailed to THE JOURNAL office, but never to reach the office later than Thursday afternoon for publication the same week for the
prise by about fifty of her young friends. Miss Stine, although surprised, showed herself equal to the occasion by causing all present to have an enjoyable time.
A ciphering match held at Qirck's school house Friday night of last week proved quite an interesting affair. The spread-eagle maneuvers of the boys and the manly figures of the gir's furnished a most laughable eight. However great skill and rapidity was shown by many.
