the refusal of Chancellor Cooper to grant an
appeal. His decree Is affirmed with costs.

Am Honest Gift Enterprise.

The wonderful success of the last Gift
Concert of the Public Library of Kentucky,
and the fact that all of The enormous prizes
offered were actually drawn and promptly

rapidly sold. Those WHO intend to invest
had better not delay, for the tickets are SO
few and the scheme is so tempting, that ii
will be speedily disposed of, and some
clever person may be 'left out in the cold"
