Mr. F. A. Archibald, one of Con

followed an illness of more lhao a
week's duration. Friday morning he
suffered a stroke of paralysis and from
that time on his condition grew worse.
He suffered another slight stroke Sat
urday morning from which he neror
rallied. '. ; .. .. .
- The passing of this good -citizen
removes a familiar figure from thai
life of Concord. He was -one of the
business pioneers of the town, coining
heie immediately after the war when
what is now Concord was only a vil
lage. He opened the. first store here
after the. war being associated with
his brother,, the late W. L. Archibald.
While engaged in merchandising Mr.
Archibald never lost interest in farm
ing and, after discontinuing his ac
tivities in merchandising be devoted
his time to farming, conducting two
large farms until his advanced aire
forced him to retire about three years
ago.' . .
Mr. Archibald was born at Rocky
River ilareh 30, 1832 and was, there
fore, 82 years of ape. Mr. Archi
bald's grandfather was one p t'
Scotch-Irish pioneers who settled the

How U Us Tims to Get Busy, Start Out and Show Those Who Are Inter-
tensted in Toa That Ton Are Going to Be Worthy of Their Help.
In making inquiries a number of -
people said that they would like to
neve one of the prises offered and -that
tbey were sure they eould do well
if they just had the time to spend in
tnis contest. We have gone over thi
matter before end the whole thing re
solves itself into the faet that it it
not how much time one has but it U
how well they will do with that tim.
No matter wbat yon may be employed
at you have a little spare time each
day. There are idle moments when
you may be planning what to do ana
where to go as soon as you can ret tho
chance. Use the time that yon have
for the contest carefully and well snd
you can win. . , .
And then others have said, "Ob '
nryl I never did any soliciting and
am sure that I could not make a
suet-ess at it." Here is another mis
taken idea. There is no experience
necessary and no soliciting required.
Nearly every one in this vicinity is
taking either one of the other of the
papers. They must pay for their
paper sometime and that might as
well be to some contestant as at
any other time. Most of the people
will be glad to help out the first per
son that asks them.
Really the work of the contest i
just getting around and seeing the
people and letting them know that
you are in the race. Subscriptions
will come very easily and it wiR be
surprising to a great many to see
how rapidly their vote totals will
climb. , ' ,., ' .
On another page of this paper will
be found the first list of the names
of those who hare been entered
in The Times-Tribune. contest For
the last week these names bave been
coming in to the contest office and
with nearly every nomination blank
me s few of the ten vote coupons
cut from the paper. The nomination
blank credited person With Ave thous
and votes and the total of the ten
vote coupons was added to this.
On the first list there are a great
many names that have been sent in
by friends of the different contestants
who were anxious to see them tret in
this race and win one of the prizes.
All of these people have been notified
that their name had been sent in
and all that is necessary is for them to
come to the office or send there for
one of the receipt books.
If there is any point that is not
clear we will be glad to explain it
aud to help in every way possible.
Now, if looking over this list you
find that your name is among those
that has been sent in by friends, get
ousy at once.. . xou know that you
nave a friend or friends who are in
terested enough in you to send in
your name and you know that if yon
wm get ousy and show them that
you are going to get in the race and
get in earnestly, they . "will gladly
come forward and give you more ma
terial aid. But you must do for your
self first 80 as to show your friends
tnat u tney nelp you their heb will
