Pettie's Island CASH LOTTERY,
For raising 3601. toward finishing a Bridge over
Pickering Creek.
TH E Managers of laid Lottery are ferry they
are obliged to inform the few adventurers
who have thought the scheme worthy of encourage
ment, that alter using their utmost industry to dis
pose of the tickets in said Lottery, they find so ma
ny yet on hand as renders it impossible for them
to draw upon such principles as would aniwer the
end proposed : And the impatience of the adven
turers, together with the little encouragement
given of ever felling the remainder, has induced
them thus publicly to notify those who have pur
chased and paid for tickets, to return them to the
perlons of whom they bought and receive back
th eir money.
