i lowestpossible cost.
That this entire section of North Carolina may be well
represented in this party we have laid the territory off in
districts as follows:

this to be mo:e fair on account of the number of ministers
in the territory. The districts are divided as follows:

NO. 2 Montgomery and Moore counties, one.
NO. o Davidson county, ones
No. 4. Anywhere except the territory embraced in the
foregoing territory, one.
The winners of one of these trips will have all expenses
paid, including railroad fare and entertainment while attend
ing the Exposition. The party will be guests of The Courier
from the time they board the train until thev reach their
homes on return and will be given "the time cf their lives."
To win those trips contestants must work until the last
day, or someone may come in ahead. Get all your friends to
pay you one (1.00) dollnr for f inscription to The Courier
and send it in. Each dollar entitles you to votes as shown
