It does little good to brinfc one's ware to he notice of those who cannot buy them. v Fairness of the Contest. Disinterested parties every where, business men and the ! contests and themselves, are prais ing The Courier for the impartial treatment accorded every cani date. Everything was done to facilitate he work of the contest ants and their friends, and the re suit is that everything has turned out in the most gratifying man ner: Some became discouraged and doubtful as to the outcome of the final count, but giving man agement the benefit of the doubt, which was greatly appreciated, thev had personal interviews with the contest department, and learn ed that by the methods of check ing and counter checking, and the fact that the books of the con test were open for the inspection of the public, that a fair and square deal was positively assurred each contestant. Reeause oF this- ' fact- the ? inter est and enthusiasm were greatly1 increased. It caused the Contes tants to put forth' their; best; ef-; forts' so that they might : be 'dep; " claret winners in the great prize 1 contest; r"; ' " ' , " It must be said in recognition of thVgood work done by th ' candidates that th.y devoted them v ' . . selves heartily to the cause and through their efforts the public! generally awakened to the fact that ' The Courier is certainly the paper for their homes, and today; we have over a thousand neW subscribers who are now among ' , our staunchest friends, : Honor Deserved. The successful contestants are named today as the results of the official count of u)e prominent and distinguished gentlemen who act ed as judges and who had no con cern in the contest other than to accept the invitation of the management to make a thorough and complete canvass of the votes. 1 The mere mention of the names of these gentlemen Js assurance of their integrity. They are well- knovn and highly esteemed by their business associates, and by all with whotm they come in con tact as thorough and honorable business men.

It requires good spirit to put up a battle of this nature, and it takes a go?d strong will to be a cheerful loser, but we- are -sure that this is the way that contest ants who did not win in 'The Courier contest will fed; Closing Hours Were Exciting. With the closing of the contest for the beautiful prizes offered by The Courier there was ended one of the largest and most sue happy for a long time, and they will have cause to remember long the efforts in their behalf. The Cnnrier desire to thank the con testants and their friends for the interest taken and the good work which has been done in adding to the subscription lists of The Courier and regrets sincerely that it is not abjp to give prizes to all who took part in the contest, for all deserve to win the coveted prizes, and it hopes that those who won will enjoy them to the utmost.
