probably three hundred miles away.
Mr.. Berry also brings in some of the rich

ever saw, which he found in prospecting

sold at the time fixed upon. This gives
ample time for the purchase Of tickets by

they desired. There are many big prizes
to be carried off and our people are as
likely to win as any other.
