The Experience Of il Lucky Man

Mr.. Geo r. Gornto, the lucky man
Of Princess Anne County, Va, who
drew the $4,000 prize in the Lo ulsi-
ana State Lottery, was heavily in
debt, with mortgage on his farm,
and things going behindhand with
him generally. He got hold of a copy
of the vcrtisement of The Lottery.
He determined to make venture.
FIe had but S5.15 in the world. He
wrote to A. NJ. Dauphin, P. 0. Box
G92, New Orleans, and enclosed 50 in
the letter. and was Just ahont.tu ::agr,7fs7
it off to the Post Office by boN
when a negro hand Of his called on
him and demanded his wages, which
just amounted 10 So. He offered the
man tha a3 he had left, but this was
declined by the darkey, who threat
ened to leave his work Just ut criti-
cal time unless he got the whole. He
took the letter, and the two dollars
out Of it, which, with the SO, he hand
ed the man.
Thus was he with butiiiteen cents
cash in the world; and while in this
melancholy frame OF mind, about an
hour ailcrward, negro man drove
up and bought loal of fodder
amounting to sl.9O, not enough to
pay for the ticket, but with ten cents
in his pocket he made up the amount,
and rewl ote the letter and enclosed
81. The next thing that turnel up
from that 81 was the gratifying
Intelligence that his ticket had drawn

to alter his current Of b i'll luck, en-.
