IL appointed Commissioners by the Ken
lucky Legislature to superIntend and con-
duct the Henderson County Land sale"
of VIM. McLain, Esq, take this method of
a~nnouAcing to the public that the drawing
of prizes in the enterprise has been post
poned until the lt day of September, 1859.
When, on the list of october last, the enter
prise was laid before the public, 1t was
conh9ently expected that it could be con-
Guided by the I4Gh of January, 1869, the
day liked for the drawing; but several
causes, none of which were anticIpated
and which could not be controlled by the
commissioners nor by the owner CT the
property, combined to prevent 1t. Among

rented out for the present year-lS69. Good

draw the said farms.
The money for the tickets sold is in the
handS OF the agents, and should any share
holder be dissatisfied with the postpone
ment, his none will be refunded on the
presentation OF his ticket.
The undersigned think it will not be
amlSS to say, in this connection, that hey
nave no p~ecuniary interest IN the o
enterprise, nor Will they have in the fu-
ture. They Will not receive one cent for
their services. and they do not now and

a single ticket in tue enterprise; nor one |
dollar received from the sale of tickets will /
be used by them, nor can the owner of the 1
property touch, use, or control any part OF
1t until after the drawing takes place; and /
the enterprise, by any Unforeseen
contingency, prove a failure, all money
received from the sale of tickets will be
promptly returned on presentation of the
tickets to the agent from whom bought.
