Nr. OUie Bennett Kill* Biggest HogYet Reported.

Mr. Ollie M. Bennett, of Dan-bury Route 1, yesterday killedthe biggest hog we have heardof being killed in the county.The porker tipped the beam atsix hundred and twenty-two andone half (622£) pounds, and wasonly 18 mounths old. If any-body in the county can beat thisMr. Bennett would like for himto report it to the Reporter forpublication.

The 20th of January. 1912, is

drawing near, and the figures inthe Teachers Voting Contest arebeginning to soar.

If the contest should closetoday, the first-named eight

young ladies, enclosed in theborder, would win the trips.

But thirty days are yet toelapse before the last ballots arecounted, 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 willbe 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 comingIn. All outstanding couponsmust be sent to the office not

. later than January 10 to becounted. After that only pay-

ments for subscription, advertis-ing and job work willbe counted.

During the holidays many ofthe girls will win thousands ofvotes. Ask every one of your

friends to take tthe Reporter atleast one year. If they already

take the paper, ask them to ex-tend the date on their labelsone, two or more years inadvance, giving yeu the votes.

To the young lady who makesthe higgest percentage in gainfrom th\s date to January 3,1912, when the next issue of theReporter will appear, the pub-lishers of the Reporter will "giveft bonus of 5,000 votes. This of-fer should greatly stimulate someof those who arp behind.

The Reporter management hasbeen requested by a number offriends to make an. effort to runa special train or excursion wifhthe party ofgirls who are elect-ed to the trip. One enthusiastic

young man says at least a thous-and persons in the county alonewould take advantage of thepleasurable opportunity to visitthe ocean. It is not known yetjust what arrangements can bemade along this line, but it isquite sure that the crowd of girlswho are elected willhave a largeparty of friends to accompanythem, and that the occasion willbe one never to be forgotten.

A number of married ladies inthe county, some of them of so-cial prominence, are candidatesfor chaperone. After the girlsare elected, this willbe quite aninteresting feature?the elec-tion of the chaperone.

The eight young ladies whoare elected for the trip will belucky, while the winner of thesilver cup, which goes to thegirl receiving the highest vote,may well feel proud of the giftwhich will be a token of thehigh esteem in which she is heldby so many admiring friends.

To one and all of the Contestgirls through the holidays tillwe come again, a happy Christ-mas, and may you reap thou-sands of votes.
