J.W. Bechtel, last week's mystery man, did not seem to be much of a mystery for two of our steady customers on Place the Face. Jay Turnipseed and Gertrude Hemphill, Route 1, identified the old photo with little trouble. This week's picture is also worth two free subscriptions, one in town and one on the rural routes. Mrs. Fred Dale was the first to identify last week's photo of George W. Arnold and win the year's free subscription. Mrs. Flossie Thompson called in Monday to take the subsciption offered to the rural routes. The above picture is also worth two free subscriptions to The Colfax Press, one in town and one on the rural routes. Mrs. J.H. Barnes and Mrs. Luther Wagoner were the first from Town and country to correctly identify last week's picture of LaSalle Stoops. The above photo will bring a free one-year subscription to the first person in town and the first from the rural routes to correctly identify it. Last week's picture was entirely too much of a mystery. We here at the Press office found the single name "Robinson" on the back of the cut used to print the picture and thought it was a picture of Rev. N.H. Robinson. As it became apparent that no one was going to identify it as Robinson (most thought it was Farris, and five or six other names were mentioned) a check of the old-timers around town was made. All agreed that the photo was not of Robinson, in fact one lady said it looked no more like Robinson than she does. But they could not agree on a name for the picture. Several agreed that it was not Farris and that's as far as they could go - the experts were stumped! So there were no subscriptions awarded last week and the mystery man is still a mystery. We'll try it again this week with a new picture and the same rules. Mrs. Walter McClure and Mrs. Ida Willhoite, of Route 2, each received a free year's subscription to The Colfax Press by naming last week's picture of Richard Ward. Free subscriptions will again be awarded this week to the first person from town and the first from the routes who correctly identifies the above photo. Mrs. Leslie Burk and Mrs. Arthur Hester each received a free subscription for identifying last week's photo of B.M. Judd, a former Colfax jeweler. Both ladies made gifts of their subscriptions. Mrs. Hester wanted to give hers to one of the town's oldest residents, and picked Mrs. Elizabeth Howley, who was not taking the paper. Mrs. Burk gave her year's subscription to Carl Wagoner at Bloomington. The above picture is also worth two free subscriptions, one in town and one on the routes.
