HOW IT WILL BE DONE.
Five prominent gentlemen from different
sections of the county will be requested to
give away the prizes, in the following man
ner:
These gentlemen will place N one box q
number of tickets equal to the number OF
paid up subscribers, all of which tickets
will be blank except the eight prize tickets.
They will then place in another similar box
an equal number of tickets, containing the
names of the paid up subscribers, one name
or each ticket, After the tickets have been
carefully inspected and placed in the boxes,
they will be thoroughly shaken up and mix
ed together, until the committee is satisfied
that everything is fair and just. Then the
drawing will begin. Two little boys about
four or FIVE years old will be blindfolded,
and one will draw from the box containing
the names of the paid up subscribers and
the other from the box containing the tick
cts. The committee will at every drawing
Zone from each box) inspect the tickets that
have been drawn and announce the result.
For instance, suppose the little boys have
each drawn ticket from their respective
boxes. The name drawn by one little boy
is Always Loseum, and the ticket drawn by
the other is blank. That means Mr.. A.
Loseum has failed to secure prize. The
little boys draw again. The name is Lucky
Fellow. and the prize ticket has sewing ma
chine on it. That means Mr.. L. Fellow
has secured the sewing machine for his
prize. The drawing will thus continue till
all the prizes have been given away.
This plan seems to US as fair as possible,
and to have the least objections. Our sub
scribers may rest satisfied that everything
will be done in fairness.
