CHERRY WILSON IS POPULAR AUTHOR
Wins Third Place in Nation-Wide Authors' voting contest
That a prophet is unknown in his own land is seldom illustrated more vividly than right here in Republic, where but few of it's citizens realize lives and writes one of the most popular authors in the United States, as has been proved in the results of a voting contest just finished by the Fiction House, Inc.
This company publishes such magazines as "Novelettes," "Action Stories," and "True Adventure." For a year this company has been printing voting coupons for the purpose of deciding by a popular vote of the readers of their magazine which of their writers is the most popular. Among their contributers are such men as Guy Empey, author of "Over the Top/" Albert Richard Wetjen, hailed as the second Jack London and the Kipling of America ; Frank Richardson Pierce, Walter JH. Coburn and a host of others; and the years voting gave to Mrs. Wilson third place in popularity and a hundred-dollar prize, as announced by Mr. Kelly himself in a telegram to Mrs. Wilson last Thursday.
This splendid reality is in reality better than it looks, inasmuch as owing to the fact that Mrs. Wilson was busy a large part of the time in filling contracts previously made, she was able to send in only four stories, while others sent in as many as ten or a dozen.
Mrs. Wilson's friends here are exceedingly proud of her achievement.

This is indeed a hard blow, as there was no insurance on dwelling or contents. On Tuesday evening the neighbors gave them a miscellaneous shower which will help them over until they can get adapted to the new way of living.
