Now is the time for the subscribers to pay up and help some young lady win a beautiful prize. Owing to the fact that the contestants in OLtrisl No 3 bad stopped working, we have cut out that district entirely. We have also made a few changes In ttftfOther districts, namely; we have transferred some of the contestants from one district to another. This will make the contest more interesting and will make everybody's chances more equal. *. F. K. Thompson, , Contest Manager. . 8TAHDUOT OF CONTESTANTS.

He was sr young man of exceptional ability a^U splendid character- His health gave way about two years ago, since which time he has been a severe Bufterer, but having such beautiful faith in his Savior, he bore his euffer' ings manfully and died the death of a Christian young man. When his health would permit, he followed the vocation of stenographer, and nis employers found in him all|that could be desired In this position.

The la fune.al was preached by Rev. J. H. sc Hall, presiding elder of this district, es assisted by Revs. \V. W. Rose and G. is T. Harrill. His remarks were beauti- of ful, and the picture of his life was none too true of the deceased. During the yi ceremony,Mrs. A. H.

He is also an experienced eye spec- M ialtist, holding a diploma from the 1; Philadeldhia Optical College.
