Trustee.
Fortune Fayors a Poor Woman.

Annie Smith, colored, cook and wash
or, residing at l13 Liberty street, was
the lucky holder of one-fifth of the tick
ct in the Louisiana Stote Lottery which
drew the first capital prize of So, ono on
Tuesday, Feb. 9. She was seen at the
Office of the company yesterday noon,
and gave the following facts in relation
to the good fortune which has befallen
ner, In quiet way, devoid of the
least excitement, she said, in substance /:
"My name is Annie Smith, lam 40
year OF age and widow, My place of
nativity is Monroe, La. | came here to
live about five years ago, since when
have been earning my living by cooking
and washing. On Wednesday, Feb. 8.
my attention was attracted to ticket in
the monthly drawing bearing the num-
bers 81 7O5. The combination pleased
me, and concluding to try my luck on
it, made purchase of one-tfth of the
ticket, for which paid the sum OF 81 d.
This morning, Feb. 10. called at the
Office OF the company to learn the result
of my venture, and to my great astonsh-
ment and delight, was told that | had
won $1,000" Hereupon the fortunate
woman exhibited the winning ticket to
the reported, and said: "Sir that is all
what | know to say, except to express
my most heartythanks for the blessing
tina thaS come upon me"
She was congratulated by the reporter
and everyone in the office, and advised
to take good care of her money. She
received a check for the amount on the
New Orleans National Bank, and de-
parted as peacefully as she came, bu'
with gratitude busy at her heart ant
plainly depicted in her honest face
The fortune all comes to her and for hel
own use, as she has no children Twin.

The Lower Red River Bridge.

In the report made by Mayor Howell
to the old Board OF Mayor and Alder
man at its last meeting, we find the fol-
loving:
There are 81 500 OF lower Red river
bridge bonds outstanding only, and
that account has to Its credit, 1880. SO.
l would not free that bridge entirely,
unless the county would take charge of
it and keep it in repair and insure same
otherwise | would reduce the tolls so
as to yield say 81 900 per annum. That
amount would pay a keeper, insurance
and repairs; and without some one to
look after 1t, it would fall down, and
then the city would be forced torebuild
gong in debt for the same.
The ex-Mayor managed the cities
finances admirably and his opinion is
entitled to consideration, but it seems
to us that the bridge should be made
free, even though tax had to be LEVIED
to keep up the necessary repairs. The
commerce of GAINESVILLE is undoubtedly
injured to considerable extent by the
heavy tolls that are required to reach
the city, and all such charges should
be reduced as much rs possible.
The county should undoubtedly pay
a portion OF the expenses of keeping ur
the bridge, but we believe the city
could better afford the entire cost than
it can to continue the tolls and thereby
shut out large trade that would other
wise come here.

He Added 10 His Stature.

A story is told Of youth at West
Point who was bright and proficient In
all his studies, but lacked by a quarter
of an inch the stature required by ca
det. He had been admitted, however,
with the understanding that he must be
dismissed If at the end Of the first year
he had not grown enough to reach the
standard. He did not grow, and on the
night before the examination which
would be fatal to his hopes he and his
roommate were sadly talking Of their
expected separation, when a bright idea
occurred to the taller cadet. Selling a
broom-stick he hit The little fellow two
or three sharp laps on the top Of bis
head, raising a fine bump. The next
morning the boys came away from the
examiners exulting in q knowledge
that he had attained the full stature ex-
acted of cadets, with at least an eighth
of an inch to spare.
