A FARMERS FORTUNE.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Realized
from an Investment OF Five Dol
lars by a Lucky Young Tennes-
Deean.

The luckiest man in Tennessee, and, pro
badly, the happiest individual at present II
that State, is Alexander McCrosky, a young
farmer residing near SomervIlle for he has
been greatly favored by fortune and sudden
ly elevated from moderate circumstances to
afluence.
About three weeks ago Mr.. MeCrosky
sent to the Office Of the Louisiana State
Lottery Company, in New Orleans, for half
of a ticket in the grand drawing, which
took place June 14th. In due time he
received the ticket, and last Thursday dis
covered, to his great joy, that he had won
$4,000, half of the first capital prize OF
100000, in last Tuesdays drawing.
One can imagine the sensation created in
McCrosky's neighborhood by the announce
ment of this exciting fact, which SO well
illustrated the saying that It is the unex-
pected which happens.
This gift of fortune seems to have been
conferred upon q very worthy individual.
The winner of the grand prize is described
as hard working, industrious young man,
of good family, and formerly resident of
Mississippi, in the vicinity of Holly Springs.
The prosperity SO surprisingly thrust upon
him has not, It is said, impaired his equa-
nimitY. Like a sensible business man he
deposited the ticket, No. 47,943, for
collection with the Union and Plan
ters' Bank of Memphis. A re-
porter for the PcayWne learned from
Mr.. Edmund B. Shoste, exchange clerk in
the Loulsian& National Bank, that the
ticket had been received Monday morning
from the Union and Planters Bank. On
being presented to Mr.. NJ. A. Dauphin, at
the Office of the Lottery Company in New
Orleans, check for $50, 900 on the Louisi-
ana National Bank was Immediately issued,
and this amount was forwarded to Memphis
by bill of exchange on New York. So that
Wednesday Mr.. McCrosky will find to his
credit In bank a sum sufficient to support
him comfortably for the rest of his days.

AIournaIistic Feat.

The MoRNING News accomplished q
journalistic feat on Saturday, probably I'M
preeedented in the history Of the press Of
Georgia, namely, the issuing Of four regular
editions in one day. The regular morning
edition, Of course. was out and off the
press four hours when the startling intelli-
gence Of the attempt to assassinste the Pres
ident was received. Over an honr
elapsed before any further In
formation, save the bare fact Of the shoot
ing, could be obtained, the telegraphic wires
from Washington being crowded with dis
patches Of inquiry, and it was not until
l O'Clock that a definite account Of the
shooting came. At O'Clock the second
edition was ready for press, and at O'Clock
a third was printed, and at $50 O'Clock q
fourth went to press. Hundreds Of
people were gathered round the office,
and for a time Il was impossible 10
supply the demand for copies of the paper.
The last edition also was sent out to sui
scribers in East Florida by the fast night
train. It was impossible to get off the edi-
ton in time for the 4:30 p. IN. train OF the

A Deligh,fuI Entertainment.

SAVANNAH, July 3.-Editor Morning Ne,os:
We had the pleasure Of attending delight
full entertainment at Academy Hall, in the
thriving little village of scarboro, on Friday
evening, the LIST instant, given for the bene-
fit Of the Orphans Home at Macon. 1t was
brilliant success, owing to the uutiring
efforts Of Misses Laura johnson and Alice
Grovenstein, who took an active
part in several charades, the performances
Of which were simply "par excellence"
Miss Minnie Rogers, of Millen, also
added much to the occasion by favoring the
audience with several master pieces of vO-
cal music. The bewitching charms and
winning graces Of this estimable young lady
won the hearts Of the entire audience. The
opening address of welcome was delivered
by Master Jimmie johnson, who acquitted
himself most creditably. The favorite
songs, "Old Folks at Home" and "Hsunt-
ing Eyes," were sweetly warbled by Mrs.
Angus Grovenstein, of Guyton, and were
received with enthusiastic applause. Re-
freshments were then served, while
the young people adjourned to
the upper story of the
building aud 'tripped the light fantastic
toe" until late hour. The Millen String
Band was present, having been engaged
especially for the occasion, and was the
source of much enjoyment.
The rumbling of the distant train warned
your correspondent to bid adieu to his many
friends and skip away to the depot, but the
pleasant recOllections of the evening can
never be erased from his memory. JIM.
