Mr. Clavar'S Lucky Draw

Murray uowa) News. Nov. Is
Having interviewed Mr.. Jno. T.
Claver in regard to his reported lucky
draw in the Louisiana State Lottery,
we find that he held one-twentieth OF
ticket No. 46,755, which drew the first
capital prize OF 100000 in the Com
pany's drawing on the 9th Of October
last, and that he has received his
money-Sl5, COCOON the same. Mr..
Claver's ticket cost him one dollar, and
was the first and only money he ever
invested in that way.
BY an agreement with Mr.. William
Foster of this place, who also held a
ticket in the institution, that II either
of their tickets drew q prize they would
divide equally. Mr.. Foster receives one
half the amount.
Mr.. Claver and Mr.. Foster are both
well respected citizens OF this vicinity,
and whatever may be said pro or con
of the Lottery itself. this amount of
money will elevate them from moderate
to well-to-do circumstances, ard it is
to be hoped that it will be invested in
a way that will give it circulation in
this city and community.

In Japan the old-school physicians are per.

gently sarcastic way Of expressing the opinion
that they kill enough people without using
weapons. But the druggist who introduced
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery into the
Empire, carries fine steel blade. 1t was
found that all who tried this wonderful remedy
for coughs, colds, consumptive tendencies,
blood, skin and liver troubles, were, without
exception, greatly benefited. The Niikado
