XMAS PRESENT EXTRAORDINARY

Falls to the Lot of the Lucky Contestant IN DEMOCRAT’S PIANO RACE All of the Premiums Will Make Acceptable Gifts—Candidates Will Be Extremely Fortunate to Secure Any of Them.

The fact that The Democrat’s great piano contest comes to a close at Christmas time adds a pleasing feature to the winning of any of the beautiful premiums offered. For where is the woman who would not be well pleased with a beautiful $350 mahogany piano for a Xmas present? And that will be the good fortune of the contestant having the largest number of votes on Saturday, Dec. 23. And the runners-up will win premiums to be proud of. Not only on account of their beauty but utility, as well. The $35 Free sewing machine, donated by D. M. Worland, given to the contestant finishing second, is a beauty, and, as is well known by the majority of the housewives, the Free is a machine that is second to none. The silver set, donated by Jessen the Jeweler, to the candidate having the third largest number of votes, is in the opinion of all who have seen it, a beautiful gift well worth a place on anyone’s sideboard.
