Messrs. jeff Davis Co., proprietors OF the
Great Southern Lottery, announce to the public
another of their "splendid schemes" to which
the attention of those who harbor any grudge
against fortune is particularly called. In this
magnificent enterprise" there are no blanks,
but is so managed as to offer prize to all takers
Here is chance for every son OF the sunny South
to make not only himself but his beloved country
independent The Gulf Stream Of wealth which
has been flowing SO generously northward can
now be stopped, and the barbarous heather of
New England starved into submission. Here
then is an opportunity not offered by every char
liable lottery of lining the patriots pocket, adj
vancjng civilization, aud the cause OF human lib
erty
The company have determined since the sue
cess of the late fifteen million prize, which was
taken four times over in the principal cities of
the South, and clamored for so loudly in Europe,
to issue another attractive scheme, IN which the
amount of tickets offered shall be limited to fifty
million of dollars. 1t is hoped that those who
failed to secure any of the first profitable scheme
will consult their own convenience by early ap
plication at the central Office, in Montgomery,
where it can be had at par for gold, as there
can be no doubt that it will command large
premium if allowed to pass into the hands Of
| spectators. 1t in expected the demand Will
| greatly exceed this amount Foreign bankers
will please note that letters of credit will not be
accepted, as nothing can be received in exchange
but cotton and gold.

curity of this investment, or OF the stability OF
the organization The reputation of the Presi-
dent and the references of Messrs. Floyd and
Cobb late United States government inanciers,
are ample guarantee for the responsibility of the
company. The vast material and moral resources
at command place it permanently beyond suspic-
ion. The capital of the concern, which cannot
| be computed in millions, rests mainly In repro
ductive property, one article alone in the nven-
tory is sufficient to secure the aid of rich power.

half of the entire cotton crop OF the south, ior
which of course lottery tickets will be gladly ia
