that the lucky person was Chas. T.
Silk, one of our best known citizens.
An Independent reporter interviewed
Mr.. Silk on Monday and ELECTED the
following facts: For som etime he had
been investing a small sum each month
in tickets, and had several times drawn
small prizes. He had confidence that
if he kept on, he would at last be sue

rectness of this impression. In the
September drawing. he had ten tickets
and three of them drew prizes, two of
$50 each, and one of $2,500 one-twen-
tieth of the third capital prize. Mr..
Silk is poor man, and this great good
fortune will enable him to make many
improvements about his home, and his
good fortune will be shared by all OF
