An Uniisual Opportunity to get the Best News
paper in the County at a Reduced Price and
Obtain a Prize in Solid Gold.
5iizes to fie iYen Sway, S ootl lrouosition.
Beginning Thursday, October 4th, we will inaugurate a Subserittion and Voting contest for the
purpose of increasing our subscription list a few thousand, if possible, and to this end we have decided
to give away a number of handsome presents and valuable prizes. . -
r The Watchman is the leading family newspaper in Rawan, , it gives you all the news,' especially the -home
news, written without color or favoritisrn. It intends to stand up and do battle for the masses
instead of toadying to the classes, it stands for good government and honest politics, and expects to
give its readers full value for their money, so if you do not get a prize, you will not be a loser. If yov
subscribe, and pay for it, you have our guarantee that you will get your paper, j We have been in the
newspaper buisness almost constantly for the last twenty-five years and there is not a man in the
county who can truthfully assert that he has raid us a subscription without having received a paper
to the full value of the amount paid. So you need not hesitate to subscribe on that score. If it is our
fault that you do not get the paper, we stand ready to refund your money. That's fair, is'nt it?
In this contest we are going to cut the regular subscription price in half, giving you one full year
for 50c, provided two come in at a time. That is, for every dollar paid in we will send the Watchman
to each of any two names furnished one full year, or two years to any one name. A single year's sub
scription will not be received for less than 75c. This arrangtment is made so as to compensate any
one who will trouble himself to get us a aew subscriber, or to make it worth while to pay two years
at a time. There -are some who are behind a year and this will be an opportunity for such to get
themselves in good standing. !
With each subscription paid for, a coupon will be issued entitling to (1) one vote for every cent paid,
but should a subscription be secured by an agent, he will also be entitled to a like number of .votes.
For instance, when, $1 .00 is received, the subscriber is given 100 votes, but if the name if brought in by
an agent, he also will be given 100 votes for his trouble. These votes are to be cast for any young
lady you may wish to have the prize.
1st Prize. To the one who receives the highest number of votes will be given, absolutely free, a
handsome solid gold, ladies' watch, value $30 00.
2nd Prize. To the one who receives the next largest number will be given $10.00 in gold.
C 3rd Prize. The next, $5.00 in gold.
t 4th Prize. The next, $3.00 cash. ; -
L 5th Prize. The next, one copy of the San Francisco Horror book, value $1.50.
6th Prize. To the agent who secures for The Watchman the largest list of names, in addition to
the above prizes will be given, as a personal reward for his good work, $10,00 in gold.
The coui ons will be numbered and dated and must be voted within ten (10) days after being issued -f
Any of these prizes would make an excellent Christmas gift to your best girl, to your wife or a
daughter. What could be more appropriate as a gift to a young lady than a solid gold watch on
Christmas eve? This watch may be seen on exhibition at Gorman & Green's Jewelry Store.
Any acceptable person may enter the contest.
If you intend to make an effort to secure one of these prizes, go to work at once, don't delay an hour,
the first in the race has the advantage, but a winner may come in at the eleventh hour. So get busy
and stay busy till the last. You may get two prizes, the watch and $10 for the largest list. Try it.
The contest will close at 4 o'clock Monday Evening, Deceniber 24th. Remember the terms, to wit.
