Some idea of the value of tliese oats may formed, when we say thai Mr. M. was offered ctita for his last year's proaiuct. He has 16 acres sown this Spring. Tlie value of Mr.

Montgomery's last year's products may be sately estimated at --000. In addition to bis Blue Grass farm, he purchased a valuable tract of land ln Robeitson.on which his brolhrs are raising matchless crops ot tobacco, besides other pn And the splendid possessions of these men were secured by the investment of $1 in The Louisiana State Lottery!
