Jordan Tp., Church Forges To the Front IN THE DEMOCRAT’S PIANO CONTEST Passing the Remington K. of P. Lodge By Several Votes.—Much Interest Being Aroused. In The Democrat’s Popularity Contest this week Mt. Hope church in Jordan tp., which has held second place for some time, has taken a spurt and passed its closest [competitor and now occupies first place, leading off with 55 votes ahead of the Remington K. of P. lodge. Several other contestants have climbed op a number of votes, and interest in the result is growing rapidly. The vote at the hour of going to press stood as follows: Remiuffton K. of P. Lodge 185 Mt. Hope Church, Jordan tp...... 240 Rensselaer Chriitian Church 140 Wheatlield K. of P. Lodge 100 Rensselaer Court, C. O. F .. 90 St. John's Court, C. O. F., Remington ... 90 Parr Baptist Church 150 Gifford United Brethren Church 80 Milroy Baptist Church 80 Barkley M. E. Church 40 McCoysburg Sunday School 40 Gillam Christian S. S 70 Barkley Christian Church 20 Kniman M. E. Church 20 Remington Christian Church 30 Virgie Sunday School 20 West Barkley Sunday School 20 Rose Bud Church 30 Gillam M. E. Church 40 It is n6t too late by any means for new contestants to enter the field, as each new subscriber is entitled to 20 votes and each old subscriber to 10 votes on each dollar paid on old subscription. If the name of your Church, Sunday School or Lodge is not yet entered in the contest, see some of its friends interested and get up a few new subscribers and forge to the front. Remember that twenty new subscribers means 400 votes, which would place it to the front, and as nothing succeeds like success this would give you a prestige that would bring other votes from subscribers having no particular choice. If you are not already a subscriber to The Democrat it behooves yon to get in line and become one, and thus help the organization of your choice to secure this valuable instrument. All Votes are being carefully filed away and will be counted at the end of the contest by a disinterested committee of three who will award the piano to the contestant securing the greatest number of votes. In case of a tie vote the piano will go to the two tieing contestants, and they can settle the tie between themselves.
