Second Grand Distribution!
Sixty Thousand Dollars!
H. Nophsinger & Co., Gen. Agents
Would respectfully state that this is the last of their Distributions, and on which occasion
all of the property will be disposed of - consisting of
Sixty Seven Farms,
with thirty thousand dollars' worth of
Personal Property,
all secured
To the Ticket holder, by placing the Titles, Warrantees, and Power of Attorney to act,
in the hands of third and disinterested parties, with all monies received for the same in the
said parties hand, saving the actual expenses incurred. Read and judge.
This great Moral and Benevolent Distribution will take place
December 24, 1857, In
New Albany, Indiana,
Or sooner if all the Tickets are disposed of, due notice of which will be given.
This is decidedly the rarest chance ever offered to secure a home - a small fortune -
for one dollar, the cost of a ticket.
Prize 1st. One Model Farm, adjoining this place, with every convenience
necessary for a first class residence. The houses are all new and of modern
build, and thoroughly embellished with rare varieties of shrubbery, arbor and vine-
yard with seventy-five acres of land in a high state of cultivation adjoining the houses
-the most desirable property here. Valued at $6,000.00

Elizabethtown, Ky., who formerly owned adjoining land:) value $5,000.00

stock consists of an undivided interest in Gold Lands in Youla County, purchased of
John A. Sutter, by Sylvester Patrick and others, by deed of warrantee; one hundred
acres of which was sold to a Company in London for Two Hundred Thousand Dollars,
after an examination of it by their Engineer and Agent, as to title and value. Aggregate
value $8,750.00
4th. Fifty Fine Farms in Randolph County, Illinois, 160 acres each,
at the low price of $1.50 per acre. This land is exclusively Prairie of the richest
quality, with plenty of coal and water on the same. Will be conveyed to prize holders
by deed of warrantee, the title being from the U. States. Total valuation, $12,000.00
