The figures above show the standing of the candidates at the ciose of the voting today. Who will win the silver cup, the token of the admiration and good wishes of thousands of fond friends—the pleasant memento of a life-time, the beautiful sou venir of the long-to-be-remembered occasion. Since last week some big bunches of votes have come in from various sections. Several of the candidates have changed posi tions. It is not known by any person what the result will be when the balloting stops. One might with great reason believe that those who compose the charmed circle today, will win the trips. But there are always things about a voting contest of the nature of surprises. There is every reason for those who expect to win the trips, to put in some good hard work during the remaining hours of the contest. Not having a hundred or a thousand votes more might lose you. The contest will close at 12 o'clock noon, by the Reporter office clock. No votes received after 12 o'clock noon, Jan. 20, will be counted, All votes received up to 12 o'clock noon, January 20, will be counted. Probably a good crowd will be here to witness the close. Every friend and patron of the Reporter is invited to pay up their sub scription ahead one or more years and help the girls. They will never forget your kindness. It will not cost you anything, as you probably expect to continue taking the paper, while your favor may mean a great deal to them. Remember the contest closes at 12 Saturday. Everybody in vited to come and see the last act. SUBSCRIPTION COUPONS ISSUED FOR CASH. The Reporter will be glad to issue subscription coupons, in any number desired, to any of the contestants or their friends, for cash. Each one of these cards will be good for one year's sub scription to the Reporter, and each one issued will carry with it 100 votes. So if you need votes to put your favorite ahead, in vest in subscription coupons, which later you can sell at face value. THE EXCURSION TO THE SEASHORE. There is a lot of interest in many sections of the county over the idea of running an excursion to the seashore when the con test girls go. There are thousands of people who have never seen the ocean, and there is no telling how many of them would take advantage of the occasion, if a popular price could be ar , ranged. Of course the contest party, while going "on the same train, would occupy a special reserved car, and could not be subjected to the great crush which a big, successful excursion would mean. The Reporter is told by many of its patrons and friends that they would be delighted to go on the great trip, should an excursion be secured. Many people of Surry, j Patrick, Yadkin and other counties could confidently be expected j to take in the trip, if it were properly advertised. The Reporter | management has the matter under advisement, and will keep the i * public duly informed. THE RESULT OF THE CONTEST. The issue of the Reporter of January 24 will give full particulars of the close of the contest with the total votes received by the various candidates, together with a list of the happy eight who are i elected to the pleasurable vacation and outing. As soon as the result is determined, it will be phoned to the lucky girls wherever they may be reached by phone. Those who cannot be reached by phone, will be formally notified by the mail.

The average attendance at the school has decreased owing to the very cold weather. There have been several trials j at Lawsonville recently and several more billed for the future.

CORN AT LAWSONVILLE SATURDAY Bound Over To Court Under Bond Of $lOO Charged With Selling Liquor—Prominent Peter's Creek Citizen and Leader in Church 1 Involved In Serious Trouble I j Mr. »ames Corn was tried at Lawsonvillo last Saturday before [Justice of Peace E. C. Sheppard |on the charge of retailing i whiskey. The evidence being very strong against Mr. Corn, he i was biund over to court under i a bond of $lOO.OO, which he ; furnished. The facts appears to be these, as told to the Reporter : Luico Mabe went to the still house, which was near the house of Corn, and on Ccfrn's land, receiving a certain quantity of liquor. The still was being managed by John Lawson and Bob Bullin. A dispute arose between Corn and Mabe over the money which Mabe paid to Corn, resulting in the warrant being sworn out by Mabe against Corn. It is the neighborhood report that the still though conducted by Lawson and Bullin, is the property of Corn, and that he furnished the meal for its oper ation. It is said that Lawson land Bullin fled into Virginia. It j was not learned what became of : the still. Mr. Corn is one of the biggest property-holders of Peter's Creek, and one of its most well-to do citizens. He is a leader in the Primitive Baptist church. The triaj created a good deal of inter est, and was attended by a large crowd. Later it is learned that Mr. j Corn has sworn out a warrant against Mabe, charging him with unlawful conduct on his pre mises. Mabe will have a hearing at Lawsonville Friday, j Flat Shoal Box Party. Mr. J. N. Young's school at Flatshoal gave a box party Sat urday night, offering a prize of $5.00 in gold to the young lady whose box brought the highest price. The gold was awarded to Miss Ella Gordon. The booby prize, a cake of soap, was voted j to Mr. Young himself. Mr. W. P.
