hard as to excite its citizens considerably. On
Thursday OF last week it was rumored that a Nil
ford man had drawn the capital prize 100000, in
the Louisiana Stite Lottery Company. Our re-
porter tried 10 look the matter up. but none OF the
two dozen persons indicated by Madame Rumor
had drawn the prize An EXPRESS COMPANY sent
by man in Milford. Excitement over the affair
increased. and common salntation on Saturday
was, "Have you drawn the price" On Monday
the holder Of the ticket deposited it for collection
He Is MI. A. L. Alderman, respectable and IN
dustrious farmer, living two miles from town.
Although the owner of the farm where he resides,
the $4,000 Will be most acceptable to Mr.. Acker-

100000 is No. 9S92 1t is said that this is the first
lottery ticket ever owned by Mr.. Alderman.

prizes OF 100000. Another Milford man drew $40.
