The Closing of The Chronicle’s
Contest is Almost Here.
Who Will Win?
If we may judge by the num-
ber of subscriptions being receiv-
ed by the Chronicle, there are
some surprises in store1 in our
1450.00 piano and popular voting
contest. Candidly, it is aston-
ishing how our list has increased
and we are confident that we
now have by far the largest list
in Freestone or adjoining coun-
ties. That is what we have.been
pears on another page. Re-
member there is -.but pne more
count. Soon the battle will be
lost or the victory won. '
v Opposed to fight Pictures.
-Mayor King informs us that
he will use his influence with the
city council to secure the enact-
ment^ of an ordinance prohibit-
ing the exhibition of the Jeffries-
Johnson prize fight pictures in
Teague. ,
The crusade against the exhi-
bition of these pictures has be-
come nation wide fcnd’numerous
towns ahd cities have passed
prohibitory laws. In some in-
stances, however, this has not
working for, and now that we been necessary, the proprietors
are successful we are feeling 0f moving picture shows having

ed a statement of the assets and
liabilities cannot be given.
The suspension of this popular
is sincerely regretted, and
good. It has been a trifle ex-
pensive, but we have attained
our aim and we are-satisfied.
We wish we had a piano to
give each of the contestant s,
but as we have not we admonish
ladies to be diligent in their
efforts to win this one. It is a
rare opportunity, and one that
you may never have again.
Don’t be too confident of win-
ning. Recollect the fable of the
tortoise and the hare. You will
be terribly disappointed if-you
lose for the lack of a littie effort,
06 we advise you to work ere it
is too late. There is no time to
ipse, as the voting will positively
close next Wednesday, July 20th,
at 4 o’clock. fYou must keep
busy right up to the closing hour
if you wish to win.
Again we remind you that it
looks to us as if there is going
to bp some mighty lively voting
from this time until the clock
strikes 4 on the afternoon of
Wednesday, July 20th.
The count of. Wednesday ap-
announced that the films will
not ,be allowed to pass through
their biogrfcphs.

Vote for Submission.
As a candidate for Representa-
tive I have made the race in the
interest of the people, for the
cause of submission. The ques-
tion of submission is one of vital
importance, as the wish and will
of the people shouldTae respected.
I hope, therefore, that the Dem-
ocratic voters of Freestone coun-
ty will at the approaching pri-
mary election cast ther votes for
submission. Let the people vote;
let the people rule.

CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
Steps Have Been Token by the
Business League to Secure
Building for Teague.
The Business League has made
application to Mr. Bertram, sec-
retary to Andrew Carnegie, the
philanthropist, for a $10,000
library building for Teague, and
we hope that we may shortly be
able to announce that the dona*
tion has been secured.
According to our information
Mr. Carnegie will give the build-
ing if the city council will enact
the nCCiassary ordinances prov-
iding for its maintenance. It is
a foregone conclusion that opr
city fathers will do this, and we
may expect that before the pass-
ing of 1910 Teague will have a
$10,000 library building, v '
Such a structure would 'mean
much for our t«rtvn. The various
libraries pnd reading circles
could he combined and thus the
nucleus formed for the develop-
ment of a creditable collection of
books; the circles and clubs
would have a nice place for their
meetings, and the very presence
of such an edifice would be a
stimulus to our boys and girls to
attain to higher things.
