Once or twice we have licntin work OQ an edition of this sort luii the rush of regular business or the press of other duties has prevented us from completing the necessary arrangements. The . editor of the country newspaper has little time at his disposal for such work. With his weekly pay roll and month ly bills to meet be is kept busy all the time soliciting a,dy and subscriptions, collecting, proof reading- or writing news and editorials. We had despaired wlta our present ton e or ever being able to get out such an eddition. But some weeks agio there came from wide awake Kinstou a copy of the Opportunity Edi tion of the Kinstou Free INvss. Containing thirty-eight pages and setting forth in most, at tractive form tin nroL'ress. drv velopementl, and josHTtH of thai community .

For Mount Her limn school we have a copy of the Life and Speeches of ("has. 15. Aycock and a portfolio ol Max Held I'arrish pictures. This contest has brought The Advance no great amount ol money, all that has been re; reived not being sullicient to pay for the dictionary alone. Hut this was no money-making contest. It's object was to show our interest in Pasquo tank schools aind to airouse their interest in their borne newspaper. If we have done this we ar satisfied.
