The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-12-30
THE DRAWING

federate Home concert began. DR.. Rain
ey made brief address, in which he
spoke of the earnestness that had marked
the work of those in charge of the con-
cert and drawing. The object of the
managers was simply to make distribu-
ton of the donations to the home in such
a way that all would be satisfied with the
fairness of the enterprise. The COM
mittee had no interest in the matter what
ever beyond seeing that everything was
done which could conduce to the salts
faction of all who were controlled by
ideas of justice.
The managers of the drawing were then
introduced: Hon. Chas. s. Morse, clerk of
the supreme court; Hon. 2. T. Fillmore,
ex-county Judge; Messrs. B. @. Giles and
George Criser; Messrs. Sam Dixon and F.
r. Shipman, tally keepers; Gen. A. s.
Roberts, caller of prizes. Gen. W. p.
Hardeman, "Old Gotoh," whom everybody
knows, loves and trusts, was in general
supervision of the whole matter, with Gen.
Shelley, DR.. Rainey and Mr.. A. j. Jerni-
gan, the committee to assist. Hon. Tay-
lor Moore and Mr.. G. M. Campbell rem
dered valuable assistance in relieving the
regular forces during their arduous work.
The drawing was made from two
wheels, one large one containing
all the numbers of tickets
sold, the other the numbers of prizes to
be drawn, of these there being total of
two thousand. Judge Fillmore sat at one
wheel and DR.. Morse at the other, The
tickets were drawn by the following
named young ladies from the blind
ocx xuhn ralfaua1 oh al %
, lar intervals: Misses Sara Deason, Lucy
. Sanders, Beatrice McCasland and Lilly
} Gibson. These little ladies worked faith
fully and took the liveliest degree of in
terest in the enterprise. They are GER
tainly entitled to the warmest thanks
, from the management. The first number
! drawn from the box was a subscription to
a weekly paper, and following it came
small prizes for a considerable while
Then one of the wagons was drawn, and
shortly after bottle of whiskey. In a
= little while wooden shirt came out, fol-
lowed by box of Pearline. This article
came frequently during the course of the
drawing, and it has come to be by word
= among the boys, "did you get your Pear
y liner" The preponderance of prizes yes
terday is on the small side of the case,
which will make the drawing to day all the
more interesting. There were numerous
= laughs, bits of applause and some misses
v and ieers as prizes would be drawn and
: called the kissing and jeering being di-
J rected, of course, to the small prizes
= subscriptions to newspapers especially.
The following is list of all numbers
Il drawn yesterday. The drawing will begin
