frequently hear of certain lucky chaps who have
drawn the high prizes in a lottery, but they, almost always, are located so far off, and in some

Agent of Mr. Winter's Havana Plan Lottery of this city, Class N, for June. His name is John L.
Winkle, of Cartersville, Cass co., Ga. Winter also sold several handsome prizes in the lottery of July 15th -Georgia Citizen.
