STILL AT HEAD.

Remington K. of P. Lodge Continues To Lead INTHE DEMOCRAT’S PIANO CONTEST ♦ . K Dull Week, Yet a Number of the Contestants Have Gained Some In Number of Votes. Like most other lines of business in the city The Democrat always suffers during carnival week, and but few votes were cast in its popular popularity contest. It always takes a few weeks for business to recover from the effects of these affairs, but the votes will soon be coming in faster than ever and tbe interest will continue to the end of the contest. The vote at the hour of going to press stood as follows: Remington K. of P. Lodge 315 Mt. Hope Church, Jordan tp 310 Parr Baptist Church 190 Rensselaer Christian Church 150 Wheatfield K. of P. Lodge.. 110 Rensselaer Court, C. O. F 110 St. John's Court, C. O. F., Remington ... W> Gifford United Brethren Church . 90 Milroy Baptist Church 80 Barkley M. B. Church.... 80 Gillam Christian 5.5..... 70 McCoysb nrg SundavSchool 40 Gillam M. E. Church . 40 Barkley Christian Church 40 Remington Christian Church 40 West Barkley Sunday School 30 Rose Bud Church .' 30 Virgie Sunday School 20 Kniman M. E. Church... 20 Shoshone Tribe, 1.0. R. M. (Gifford) ... .. 20 It is not 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 wonld 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 tbe 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.
