1t should not be forgotten that grand
single number drawing OF the Louisiana
State Lottery VIII take place on next Sat
urday. 1t is one Of those opportunities for
gaining a fortune that does not happen
every day, and, therefore, it would not be
fair, when so many people are gathered
here to attend our State fair, not TO notify
all Of one of the most important events
that will come off during the present week.
There are over four hundred prizes in this
drawing, the highest of which is $4,000.
The other prizes range from that down 70
$500, and are sufficiently important and
tempting to cause many persons to risk
few dollars to gain prize. 1t would be
well, perhaps. to select tickets at once, for
if you neglect to purchase ticket you will
certainly loose the chance of gaining for
tune, perhaps.

There was speck of fire last evening in
the second story of Mrs. S. Williams board
ing house, No. SO Cont street. The damage
was not great. 1t is thought that the fire
was caused by some mischievous lads throw
ing fire peppers into the second story.
