Sixteen days more of the Great
Yotinc Contest and it looks like
Miss Mirtie Wall will he the win
ner of the Grand Premium, still
holding her own with 295 ma
jority over the next highest com
pel itor.
Yet Miss Wall has made a gain
of only 30 siuf-o last week, while
Miss Mamie Leak, who stood third
last week, has made a gain of 200
and again takes position next to
the top. Miss Leak is certainly
making a strong run. Old Quaker
Gap is hard to down The friends
of the popular Francisco girl are
fighting hard, and if they don't
win out, they will be in sight at
the end.
Miss Rachel Moore, the popular'
Peter's Creek candidate, comes
next, and her friends will doubt
less be in at the close with invin
cible force.
O ie of the most popular candi
dates is Miss Spainhonr, the at
tractive daughter of Mr. John W.
Spainhonr, of King. Miss
Spainhonr is logically a very
strong candidate as she resides in
Yadkin township, where a great
number of the Reporters Stokes
subscribers reside Many people
claim that Miss Spainhour will be
the leading candidate yet, as she
has a ho-1 of friends who will"stand
by her. She has made a clear gain
of 400 votes since last week, anil '
has risen from 15th in the list to
the 7th position.
News reaches Danbury from
vari. us sections of the county
tli.it tho friends of certain young

and that some of the young men,
rather than see their girls
defeated, will g" down in their
own pockets. One man alone
mailed 200 letters to friends ask
inu them to vote f.»r a certain girl.
It is certain that before the end
of the contest the excitement will
almost equal that >f a presidential
election, and the Reporter learns
that a number of interested par
ties from several sections of the
county will bo here on the last day
to see tho Vote counted, and learn
who wins.

Old Yadkin Holds the Key to the
Situation.
The Reporter will say for the
benefit of those concerned, thai
we have (500 subscribers in Yadkin
township. Suppose each of these
could be induced to pay SI.OC
more on their subscription? Thia
would mean 12,000 votes. A word
to the wise is sufficient. Old Yad
kin holds the key to the situation
Work, for the night is coming,
when no man can work.
Votes will be received up until
the moment when the sun sets on
Saturday evening, December 30,
Then the polls will be closed, and
three of the best known people of
the county will count the votes.
The handsome premiums for
the Big Voting Contest have been
received, and the Reporter invites
its friends in to see them. They
are beauties. But the greatesl
prize of all is to be named the
most popular young lady among
ten thousand.
