THE UNDERSEGNEn. WHO WE'RE
II appointed commissioners by the Ken
lucky Legislature. to superIntend and con-
duct the - III henderson, 1nnntN ~ -
of VIM. McLain, Esq. take this method OF
announcing to the public that the drawing
of prizes in the enterprise has been post
poned until the list day of September, 1863
When, on the LIST of october last, the enter
prise was laid before the publIc, it. was
confidently expected that it c uid be con-
cluded by the l4Lh of January. 1862 the
day liked for the drawings; but several
causes, none of which We're anticipated,
and which could not be controlled by the
Commissioners nor by the owner ii the
property, combined to prevent it. Among
these We may mention the failure 10 Oh
tain printed matter at the time contracted
for, the extreme strigency OF the money
market, and the 0istiust in the minds OF
the people OF enterprises like this, induced
by causes which are vet fresh in the recOl-
lection ofthe public.
Though tickets are now being rapidly
sold, n sufficient number have not been
disposed OF to justify a transfer Of the
property without bringing loss upon the
owner.
The farming lands embraced in the en-
terprlSe, neatly eight hundred acres OF
Wnicn are cleared and IlAIabIe, VIII be
rented cut for the present year-l669 Good
bonds for the rent Will be taken. and these
bonds will 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 or his ticket.
The undersigned think it will not be
amiss to say, in this connection, that hey
have no pecuniary interest IN the above
enterprise, nor Will they have in the III
ture. They will not receive one cent for
their services. and they do not now, and
will not at any time, own, hold or control
a single ticket in tue enterprise; nor one
dollar received from the Sa lie of tickets will
be used by them, nor can the owner OF the
property touch, use, or control any part of
IL until after the drawing takes place; and
should the enterprise, by any Unforeseen
contingency, prove failure, all money
received from the sale Of tickets will be
promptly returned on pFege ntattOu OF the
tickets to the agent from whom bought.
