THE PERIOD COVERED'- sees
By This Contest shows about 16,000 expirations
for The Weekly Constitution, and, of course, we want
them all to renew and to enter the Contest.
THIS MEANS $1,600
For the Missing Word Fund, and every additiQiial sub
scriber entering the contest will swell the amount the more.
This period also compares with our First Missing Word
Contest last year, in which Mr. M. L. Brittain secured the
prize $1; 3. 50. As that was our First Contest, there
were more han 5, OOD subscribers received during the time,
who did enter for prize. It will not be so this time, for
the plan 1 idely advertised and we have paid out within
the past ; lve months NEARLY $3,000 CASH
upon the :ve Missing Word Contests. The. series has
been of ex . lordinary interest, and the idea seems to grow
in the public's favor.
The book containing the sentence is a standard publication and
has been sealod up and placed with Mr. W. A. Hemphill, President
and Business Manager of The Constitution, who will hold it safely
until January I, 1898. .
