Ed Qtsrg CoEii,pn:-Ist Do | understand
the COURIER to say that all lotteries are
swindies? Is not the names of distin-
guished public men . guarantee as to the
honest management Of some? c. :.
ANarer-In our opinion these extern
sively advertised lotteries are all swim
dies, that is TO say they never let the large
prizes 90 by luck, but we have no doubt
that they distribute some smaller prizes
hap hazard. The guarantee n "distin-
guished men appointed to oversee the
drawings amount to about much a
committee OF old christian women ap-
pointed to oversee lot of expert faro
dealers. The distinguished men may
intend honesty, but the manipulators
overrosch-them.

Hickman Courier

lands were not originally surveyed oil
marked on any scientific principles. Ir
the first settlement every one made hi
survey 10 suit himself as regarded boun
daries and number of acres, Springs
trees, rocks, rivers, and other notable
natural objects were taken as corners anC
lines of tracts which could not otherwise
i under such n system, be identified. Con
sequeutly the surveys, big and little dove
tailed, tapped or swallowed each other ii
such a fashion as to prevent intelligbl
plotting in the Registers Office, and nook
and vacancies between surveys still exist
sometimes running to considerable
number of acres in n body, which yet be
long to the State.-Frsnkfort Ieoman.
