he found i'll good health. He also
visited Johnstown, and on Sunday

and little brother We're swept away
together. Port Royal Times.
The charter of the Louisiana Lot
terry Company is about expiring, and
the question of new charter is
prominent in the politics of the
state. The managers of the lottery
have offered to pay the entire debt
of that State, about $4,000, 900,
provided they are allowed in return
a 80 years license. The thousands
upon thousands of poor dupes who
contribute month after month to
swell the income of this gambling
corporation will be interested in the
foregoing announcement. 1t shows
where their money goes. In Louis
ana it is said the lottery company
owns all the Democratic politicians
and good share of the Repubi-
cans, 1t has on it's pay rolls most of
the members of the legislature,
State officials and active politicians.
