Ticket No. 6.O2I.

We had occasion 10 interview Mr.. J. a.
BuIks, the station agent at Robeline. Mr..
Burks was the lucky holder of one fifth o.
ticket No. 56,02l, which drew the capital
prizs sf S75, 900 in the Louisiana State Lot
terry Drawing of August Sih. He stated that
be had forwarded the ticket to New Orleans,
by the Southern Express Company, and ex-
hibited letter showing that the sum oil
$4,000 was paid 10 cash, by the lottery
company, without scaling or any deduction.
Mr.. Burks seems delighted with his good
fortune and was full of pleasant humor. Mr..
turks is rather below the medium size;
wears light brown mustache and goatee,
and has dark brown hair; he is genial, pleas
ant and sociable in his disposition. He is a
comparatively young man; has wife and
two children, and is native of Sonora, KY,
been in his present situation at the depot OF
in this State since last December. He
takes his good fortune quite noncha-
lantly, and in a sensible manner. He
says that he will retain his
present position for some time to
come. He is evidently an intelligent
gentleman, of sound, practical Judgment.
He speaks in high terms oil the prom p'ness
with which the Louisiana State Lottery CoBi-
pany cashed his ticket, without any quiubles
or reductions, for any cause whatever. This
is but one of the invariable instances show
ing that the Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany deal honestly with he lucky holders oil
