Next Wednesday Ends Second Period Of Campaign Monday sees the start of the las,t ■R'eek in the Tibune’s big Circula tion Campaign and the final chance of the various club members to get the required number of credits to win that fine Buick or Chevrolet cars. Things will happen in quick siifecession and the first member ■who loses their nerve and fails un der the strain is going to be left be hind in the tightest race which the manager has experienced in many months. Now, if ever, is the time for ac tion and plenty of it, and the one who falls down on the job at this critical period will surely be left behind', and “also ran” or “used to be” contender. Don’t let that be said about you! Hard, Hiit Woifli It Most of “the club members are complaining how hard subscriptions are to get, but if they had been easy the wonderful prizes and cash, commissions which we are offering would not have been given. If that or .S7ir» ClK-vrolet i? ifot -vYo^’lh workipg .^or, left in the Campaign. Count them yourselves. This mean $185 per day to the top winner. Isn’t that worth working for and working hard, to say the least! Every sub scription secured now puts you that much nearer the top, and fo hesi tate now means the entire loss of all past efforts. Put forth your super-efforts and back up the con fidence your supporters have in you. ' Everybody that remains active will own one of the six big prizes or a liberal commission check. This is a proposition where the sky is the limit. The more you produce the more you make. It’s up to you wha|; j^dur reward will be. livery- body lovers a winner and everbody that remains active in the Campaign must win. This is realty the most dangerous part of t!ie Campaign.

It seemed for a while Monday that there would be no tax collect ing done in Surry county in Octo ber as the law sets out because the commissioners were informed that there were no books ready. Sheriff Smith was worried that he could not make the rounds of tax collections in October as has been the custom heretofore when it was brought out that the books would not be ready before a week from last Wednesday and the court terms the last two weeks in Oc tober and the first in November would prevent him from going oTer the county if he attended the court sessions as required to do. County Attorney Jackson opined that the sheriff shoiiTd delay the tax collec tions and attend court and it ap peared that Surry tax payers Avould not be molestea for a time at least. Then came Mr. Folger who graciously told the commissioners the tax books were ready save for Mt. Airy and Westfield and all went happy as the marriage bell and the threatened final grapple between the warring clans was averted. Dr. and Mrs. E. G.
