LUCK.
The Right Ticket In the Right Place.

From the Pulaski Citizen, July "a
Capt. Willis Morley, of Bradshaw, in
this county, learned last Thursday morning
for the first time that ticket $500, which
he held in the Louisville drawing, called
for $4,000. He came to town that morn
ing and had the report confirmed by the
| Official report of the drawing, and straight
way went to the National Bank and placed
his ticket in way to be collected. Capt.
| Worley is man 55 years Of age, though
vigorous constitution has enabled bin to
Withstand the ravages of time to such an
extent that be would not be taken for more
than forty. He has been q hird-working
man all his lite, and by extraordinary en-
beavers, coupled with prudent habits, be has
been enabled to amass enough of this
worlds goods to place him in comparative
ly easy circumstances. He came from a
prolific family, his father having raised
thirteen children, each of whom had fami-
lies, and he himself is the father of eleven
living children. Capt. Morley was NOM
mated and elected uran the Democratic
ticket to the last Tennessee Legislature, in
which body he characterized himself as a
man of considerable tact and talent. Since
the adjournment Of the Legislature he has
been upon his farm In this county, hard at
work and rarely coming to town. He was
in Nashville at the time OF the last drawing
and bad opportunity to know the fair ess
with which it was conducted, and after he
came home he concluded to invest
In one ticket, which he did, not
telling even his wife that he had
done so. He pursued the even ten
or of his way, taking no note or interest in
the excitement that has prevailed concern
ing the drawing, and did not know for |
eleven days after the drawing transpired |
that he had drawn anything. When he as
certsiCed that he was certainly entitled to |
$4,000 it did not disturb the equanimity of |
his nerves one iota, and although the pre- |
ponderous exuberance ofioyful satisfaction |
which st.eh an announcement is calculated |
to make upon the human mind was thrust |
upon him without warning or being antici- |
pated, he took to it as calmly as be would
take drink of water when only half thirsty,
and talked as unconcernedly upon other
topics as though fortune had net buckled
upon his back load that would make his
steps lighter and make q shallower track.
He did not expect such rich reward, and
we heard him say since he learned CT his
good fortune that he never intended to in
vest another dollar in lottery,

most disastrous fire which has ever oc-
Cured within her limits. The fire was
discovered about half-past II in the

Adjoining the building on the north
was Franklin block, occupied jointly
by the RepubIicdH office and the eXten-
sive job, printing and binding establish
ments of Clark w. Bryant & Co. This
building was i'll very great peril, but
was protected at first by double wall
with Il narrow court between.
\ portion of this fell with Il great
crash after the fire was under full head
way, Il few of the bricks falling into the
RepubIitdn composing room. while the
windows were partially burst i'll by the
heat. The printers had previously re-
moved their cases. and for il time il
seemed aS if the Office must he immedi-
ately abandoned 10y all hands, but the
tr"men worked So efficiently that the
fire seemed for Il time to he partially
conquered. and the compositor> brought
their cases back, and in spit of the
great heat, resumed work.
I'm short time however tIr fire
crept from the rear of the insurance
building to the front. in the store occu-
pied by the American Express and
