LUCK IN ODD NUMBERS.

A list Of the Lucky NaribsFs Good
News for the Holders Of Them.

The great event Of the season took
place in the Greeniaw Upefdhotise yes

thousand dollars and over. At one
O'Clock the building was full of people,
and the managers of the drawing were
on the stage with a corps of clerks and
four small boys. Two wheels Of brass
and glass stood on elevated positions
in the front of the stage, and
all things were ready for grinding out
fortunes of various Sizes When an
unusually large prize would be an
nOunced the mercurial crowd cheered.
When the long list of small prizes
dragged its slow length along the audi
ence felt dreary. The drawing COM
menced between one and two O'clock,
the four boys relieving each other at the
wheels. The numbers were taken out at
the rate of about one per minute, and
were therefore all drawn forth about six
in theevening. Colonel Leon Trousdale
and Colonel Balentine, of the Agricul
tural Association, were on the stage, to-
gether with several other gentlemen,
and the representative of the APPEAL,
witnessing the great draught. The whole
thing was perfectly satisfactory from be-

The number of tickets, several thOus-
and, were deposited in one wheel, and
the numbers of prizes in the other. A
man stood at each wheel to give il a
shake-up after each draught. A blind
folded boy also stood at the side of each
wheel, to draw forth ticket after each
"shake-up." A number being drawn
out of the big wheel by the hlind-fOlded
boy, gentleman took it, and holding it
up to the crowd, cried out the number,
the boy at the other wheel then pulled
out prize, which belonged to the ticket
Just drawn. The number of the ticket
and the prize were announced in loud
tones. Then the process went on again,

COLONEL W. L. DUFF.
As a Candidate for COngreSs-What the
''0xfOrd Falcon" Thinks Of Him.

Prom the oxford Falcon, May 2i
We are pleased to notice in the Mem
phis .AUdidnclte a communication, re-
commencing in strong terms this gentle
man as a suitable person to receive the
Democratic nomination Tor Congress in
the Memphis district Colonel Duff was
raised in the southeast portion of our
county; and is a universal favorite with
our people, and we are glad to note that
he is equally popular in his new home.
Without any disposition to impose our
advice on the people of the Memphis
district, we take the liberty Of suggest
ing that they could not secure the ser
vices of man more eminent for devO-
tiQn 10 principles and love for the South
than Colonel Duff
AT the beginning of the war Colonel
Duff entered the army as a private SOL
dier In the Seventeenth Mississippi regi-
ment, and soon was elected 20 the cap
tainey Of his company. He participated
with great gallantTy in the first battle of
MANASSAS, and ever afteFward was a
iavOrite in his regiment. At the battle
of Deesburg, in command of four cOmpa-
mics, he held vastly superior force in
check, and contributed greatly to the
glorious victory won on that eventful
day. He took an active part in the
memorable struggles around Richmond
and Fredericksburg in 1862 and 1868.
In 1863 be was transferred to the De
partment of the West and raised a regi-
ment Of cavalry, the Eighth Mississippi,
which greatly distinguished itself in
many bloody battles. Colonel Duff was
a brave and gallant officer, and ever
ready 10 lead his men in action.
In 1865 he was elected a member of
the Legislature from Calhoun county.
and whilst in that body was active. in
nustFiOus and efficient in the discharge
Df his duties. He was very popular
with the members, and exercised great
influence. He is emphatieallya a man of
the people; raised farmers son, he
knows and appreciates their interests.
We have known him from boyhood.
and there is nothing in his career which
bis friends need regret. In public and
private life his department has been
ihat Of an honest, conscientious and up
tight man. If the people of the Mem
bhis district should see fit to send him
% Congress they would have a repre-
sentative in whom they could safely en-
trust their interests, and who would
1ever betray them. He would always
be found at his post and ever ready TO
defend the rights and interests of his

not prepared with their witnesses yet,
and promised to be ready very soon.

better qualified to represent all its inter
