Two gentlemen living in Gillian in
this county have reaped the reward of a
long series of investments in the Louisi-
ana State Lottery. There has been q
rumor for some time past that some gen.
tleman in Gillian had drawn five thou
sand dollars in The Louisiana State Lot
terry but no certain intelligence as to the
matter having reached us, the Progress
reporter at Gillian, Mr.. NJ. D. Kerr, in
vestigated the case and ascertained the
facts. He sends us the conclusive evil
dence and particulars as follows showing
that the drawing of the five thousand in
cash is an actual and undisputed fact.
Mr.. Kerr says:
The prize drawn here in the Louisiana
State Lottery was So, 900 and was drawn
by ticket held jointly between E. ].
Dunlap, the druggist here, and Mr..
James Woodbridge who is salesman in
the store of w. 81. Land & Son. They
received the cash through the Citizens
Stock Bank last Saturday. Their sue
cess is the result of several years regular
investment in these tickets"

An Economical Traveller.

Says the st. Louis Globe Democrat of
Wednesday: Congressman ONeill of the
Eighth Missouri District recently con-
cluded to take q vacation of couple of
weeks from his Washington labors.
With view to economy in travelling ex-
penses he selected the time of the season
of the Democratic Convention. He
bought an excursion ticket from Wash
ington to st. Louis and return for $50.
This included meals, sleeping car and
transportation. Ordinarily the railroad
fare is $26 the meals 1925 and the sleeper
$5 each way. Mr., O'Neill arrived in st.
Louis in due season. He was not
ready to return when his excursion
ticket expired, so he sold the return trip
to q scalper for $10-making the cost of
the ride from Washington, Including S.
worth of sleeping car and 1926 worth of
meals, only $40 in all. Mr.. o'Neill will
leave for Washington on Friday, and
hopes in the meantime to buy from a
scalper the return trip of Saengerfest
excursion ticket for $40. He says it is
cheaper to travel than to sit still.
