If the contest should close today, the first-named eight young ladies, enclosed in the border, would win the trips. But thirty days are yet to elapse before the last ballots are counted, and thousands of # votes are yet to come in. Since last week many of the girls have made heavy gains, and some remarkable changes have taken place in the positions of half a dozen of the candidates. No more coupons will be print ed in the paper after this week, on account of the great difficulty of keeping the count accurate, with so many of the slips coming In. All outstanding coupons must be sent to the office not . later than January 10 to be counted. After that only pay ments for subscription, advertis ing and job work will be counted. During the holidays many of the girls will win thousands of votes. Ask every one of your friends to take t the Reporter at least one year. If they already take the paper, ask them to ex tend the date on their labels one, two or more years in advance, giving yeu the votes. To the young lady who makes the higgest percentage in gain from th\s date to January 3, 1912, when the next issue of the Reporter will appear, the pub lishers of the Reporter will "give ft bonus of 5,000 votes. This of fer should greatly stimulate some of those who arp behind. The Reporter management has been requested by a number of friends to make an. effort to run a special train or excursion wifh the party of girls who are elect ed to the trip. One enthusiastic young man says at least a thous and persons in the county alone would take advantage of the pleasurable opportunity to visit the ocean. It is not known yet just what arrangements can be made along this line, but it is quite sure that the crowd of girls who are elected will have a large party of friends to accompany them, and that the occasion will be one never to be forgotten. A number of married ladies in the county, some of them of so cial prominence, are candidates for chaperone. After the girls are elected, this will be quite an interesting feature—the elec tion of the chaperone. The eight young ladies who are elected for the trip will be lucky, while the winner of the silver cup, which goes to the girl receiving the highest vote, may well feel proud of the gift which will be a token of the high esteem in which she is held by so many admiring friends. To one and all of the Contest girls through the holidays till we come again, a happy Christ mas, and may you reap thou sands of votes. Nearly Quarter of a Million Pounds Tobacco Pooled. A telephone message to the Reporter from Walnut Cove to day states that many tobacco wagons are coming in and that about 260,000 pounds of the pro duct are now in the pool. Mr. J. J.

Westfield Route 1, Dec. 12.—A surprise birthday dinner was given in honor of Dr. R. H. Morefield last Sunday, Dec. 10. Many of his old friends were nicely entertained with a beauti ful table, which extended from the dining room across to the parlor, with ferns, cedar, and beautiful decorations that crowd ed the entire house. It was something to look at the exten sive table that was crowded with every form of something good to eat, It was simply a picture. I am sure there was never a dinner in this part of the country that would equal this. The Vade Mecum hills were crowded with the young couples. It looked as though old Vade Mecum had come back to life again. The Dr. and Mrs. Morefield were overjoyed to so many of their friends on this occasion. We are felad to know Mrs. J. S. Morefield, of Gap, has re covered from the short illness which attacked her last Sunday. Mr. Jim Bennett's wife has been very sick for the last week. Hope she will soon be well again. Mr. J. R. Hall killed a very large porker this week. Many people have been to see this large hog. Mr. W. L. Hall says I this hog will weigh close to 900 pounds. We suppose he is about right, as he is a good judge of something to eat. Mr. George Ore, who live* on the highest hill in this country, a*v* thr weather is some cooler in his part of the air. Thfs would be a good place for air ships to light. Dr. R. H. Morefield has the only bird pup in this country. He is only seven months old and is a fine setter and a good retriever. This pup is register ed. He came from Hickman, Delaware, and is well known. His name is Billy. The mercantile business of J. S. Morefield, of Gap, will go un ' der the name of Morefield, Bur well & Cox, after Jan. Ist, 1912. This company is chartered and incorporated. We wish this business a happy new year. Mr. John R. Morefield left this morning for a pleasure trip South. He will visit Winston- Salem, where he will become as sociated with his automobile guests, and then on the national highway to the various points South. We wish the ofd gentle man a good ride and a happy Christmas. Mr. Darian S. Watkins, of Walnut Cove, was a visitor at the Reporter office yesterday.
