yryEE UNDERsrGNED. WHO WE'RE
e appointed Com missioners by the Ken
lucky Legislature TO superIutend and con-
duet the :. Henderson County Land sale "
of VIM. McLain, ESQ.,, take this method of
announcing to tine public that the drawing
of prizes in the enterprise has been post
pOned until the lst day OF September, 1869.
When, on the list of October last, the enter
prise was laid before the public, IL was
conti3 entity expected that it could be con-
cluded by the l4th Of January, 1859. the
day fixed 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
| properly, combined to prevent II. Among
| these we may mention the failure TO OBJ
| tain printed matter at the time contracted
| for, the extreme strlgency OF the money
| market, and the distruSt in the minds OF
| the people of enterprises like this, induced
1 by causes which are yet fresh in the recol-
| lection of the public.
| Though tickets are now being rapidly
/ sold, q sufficient number have not been
| disposed OF to justify transfer of the
| property without bringing loss upon the
| owner.
| The farming lands embraced in the en-
| teTpriSe, nearly eight hundred acres OF
| which are cleared and tillable, will be
| rented cut for the present year-1S69. Good
| bonds for the rent will be taken, and these
| bonds viii be assigned to the persons who
! draw the said farms.
| The money Tor the tickets sold is in the
| hands of the agents, and should any share
| holder be dissatisfied with the postpone
| ment, his money will be refunded on the
! presentation OF his ticket.
i The undersi gned think it will not be
| amiss 10 say, in this connection, that hey
| have no pecuniary interest IN the above
| enterprise, nor will they have In the Iu-
| ture. They viii not receive one cent fol
| their services and they do not now, and
| viii not at any time, own, hold. or contro
| a single ticket IN the enterprise; nor one
| dollar received from the sa le OF tickets viii
be used by them, nor can the owner of the
| property touch, use, or control any part o
1t until after the drawing takes place; ssno
should the enterprise, by any Unforeseen
| contingency, prove a failure, all money
| received from the sale of tickets will bt
promptly returned on presentation OF the
| tickets to the agent from whom bought.
