has sold this season, some of it
brought as high as 40 cents.
ONLY NINE MORE DAYS.
WHO WILL WIN THE HANDSOME PRIZES AND BE VOTED
THE MOST POPULAR LADIES?—SOME HEROIC
WORK LIKELY TO BE DONE WITHIN THE
NEXT FEW DAYS—A SUGGESTION TO
THOSE WHO WANT TO WIN BAD.
Only nine mure days, and the great voting contest to determine who
is the most popular lady not only in Stokes county, but among the
many thousands of readers of the Reporter, will be over.
The premiums have arrived, and they are beauties. First, the
splendid New Home Sewing Machine, which is fit to adorn any home,
and a thing of joy and usefulness to any lady. This goes to the
young lady who roceives the highest number of votes. Second, tie
elegant parlor lamp, one of the prettiest ever shown in Stokes county,
and which would grace the parlor of any home. This will lie present,
od to the lady receiving the second largest vote. Third, the beautiful
umbrella, with handle of pearl and gold, rili lie given to the young
; lady who receives the third highest vote.
Everybody is invited to call at the Reporter office and see the pre
miums. They are enough to make anyone work hard that his sweet
heart, sister, daughter or friend may win them, to say nothing of the
honor that goes along with them, and which is worth more than all.
ONE MORE ISSI'E OF THE REPORTER BEFORE CONTEST CLOSES.
Remember that one more issue of the Reportor will ba printed be
; fore the close of the contest. The paper will bo printed on next
\\ ednesday, December 28, in which the vote up to the hour of going
to press will be given. But the voting will go on until sundown,
Saturday, December 30, 1905, when the ballot box will bo closed and
the vote counted.
WHO WILL WIN ?
This is the question on every tongue now—who will win the Grand
Premium? At this writing it looks like the honor will lie between
; Miss Mirtie Wall, of Meadowsj»and Miss Lottie Sue Brown, of Box
j wood, but no one can tell now what turn the balloting will take. The
I friends of the candidates are working hard, and even some of the
young Indies nro canvassing for themselves, as to win will ba an honor
not to be despised by anybody.
If you have a friend anywhere, write to them at once, without de
lay, and toll them to send us a dollar by return mail and to cast their
vote for Miss . One young man last week mailed over 200
letters on one mail to his frionds. and the result was a flood tide of
v.tes for tho girl of his choice. If you are already paid up, you can
pay as many years in advance as you wish, and every dollar paid
counts twenty votes.
The parents or brothers of the contestants can well atford to pay a
good sum out of their own own pockets from a business standpoint,
to say nothing of the pleasure to the lady and the honor of winning,
for the machine is worth SSO, the lamp $5.50, and the umbrel'ass.oo.
For the benefit of those concerned, the publishers would say that
they would like to sell to anyone as many subscriptions as they would
like, giving them a receipt for same. For instance, you could pur
chase 1(1) subscriptions, paying us SIOO.OO for them. This would
entitle you to 2,(XX) votes, which you could oast for the lady of your
choice. We would then furnish you 100 cards, signed by the publish
ers of the Reporter, each card good for one year's subscription. Ycu
could then sell these cards oasily getting SI.OO a piece for them, and
thus get hack evory cent of your money.

NUMBER JO
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED.
by local applications, as thoy can
uot roach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammatioifccan L> taken out
and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine oases out
of ten are caused by Cattarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
