Times wish especially at this time that
every citizen Of this State should be a
subscriber or reader of the Times
Questions of the greatest importance
to Louisiana are pending waiting so
luton. A Convention of her Delegates
are now in session drafting an organic
law for adoption to replace the present
Constitution, and which it is hoped
will radically reform those fearful
abuses, wastcfnl eXtlavagancies and
gross injustices which have been nur-
tnred by it and have grown mp under
it. The subject of restrictive quaran-
tine as to its efficacy in preventing the
introduction of the scourgc of yellow
fever and its acknowledged blighting
effects upon the business and prosper
ity Of the city of New Orleans and the
State, is now engrossing to large ex-
tent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration,
railroad communications with our
neighboring State of Texas, removal
of tile State capital, etc., demand con-
slant consideration and discussion
The Publishers Of the Times refer with
pride to the position taken by the
Times on all of these questions. Their
inspiring motive has been the good of
the State II, d her people, for upon her
prosperity, development aud growth
depend. their compensation and re-
ward. From no other source can they
expect to subserve these ends.
The thorough independence Of the
Times, its strength, courage and con
sistency in the discussion Of all ques-
tions, its indefatigable and persistent
labors to restore the wonted prosperity
of the South, have made it recognized
throughout the country as the leading
Southern journal and made it quoted
everywhere as the representative of
the best Southern thought and opinion.
The publishers wish that n copy
may be placed in the hands OF every
citizen of this State, that he may judge
by perusal of its merits, of its motives.
AS a newspaper giving all the news
of the day; as a commercial paper
showing all the movements of business
and commerce; as an organ OF the
people representing and conserving
their best and highest interests, they
claim the Times to be without IL rival
in the South.
To meet the general shrinliagcs in
values, the subscription price Of the
Times has l,een materially reduced.
The Times (iaily, seven papers a
week; )will lie sent hereafter ut the
rate of Sl2 per annum, and the Week.
~ Times at the rate Of SO per annun,
/ postage prepaid.
Copies of the Times, either Daily OF
Weekly, gladly sent free as specimens
to any person who desires to examine
the same.
We ask every reader to give the
Times trial. We are making it a
paper worthy ofsupport, and we know
if the reader once tries it he will con
time a subscriber.
The Daily will be sent on trial one
month for 81, and the Weekly three
months for so cents.

JOSH BILLINGs' ADVICE TO JoE.-
BY awl means, joe, get married if
you have fair show, don't stand
shivering on the bank, but pitch in
and stick your head under, and the
SILVER is over. There amt any
more trick in getting married after
you're ready, than there is in eating
peanuts. Many man has stood
shivering on the shore till the river
all run out. Don't expect to marry
an angel, them hev all been picked
up long ago. Remember, Joe, you
amt saint yourself. Do not mar
ry for buty exclusively; buty is like
ice, awful slippery, and thaws dread
full easy. Don't marry for luy nei-
Their; luv is like cooking stove, gud
for nothing when the fuel gives out
But let the mixture be some buty
becomingly dressed, with about $3.50
in her pocket, gud speller, handy
and neat in her house, plenty of quo
sense, tuf constitution and by
laws, small feet, a light step; add tt
! this sOnnd teeth and q warm bnart
This mixture will keep in any eli
mate, and not evaporate. If til,
cork happens to be left of for tw'
or three minnits, the strength ain
all gone, Joe. Don't marry for ped
|igree; there amt much in pedigre
unless it is backed by bank stocks
A family with nothing but pedigree
generally lack, sense.

MARRYING HIS GRANDMOTHER

MARRYING HIS GRANDMOTHER
1t must be admitted that the single
instance of man marrying his
grandmother is exceptional in all
human experience. We expect PEG
pie to marry their cousins, and their
annts, and even their stepmotlers,
but when it comes to lead as blush
ing bride ones grandmother to the
altar, curiosity gets the better OF oui
surprise and we want to know all
about it. An acquaintance drop
ping into the News office Il few eve
n.ngs since related Il remarkable in
cidcnt as just having come un,icr his
observation.
Il saw man marry his grand
mother" asserted the gentleuau IN
4 tone that enlisted attention.
"Nonsense"

about it at ALL"
''You saw man marry his grand
mother? He must have been "a min
lister, and performed the ceremony
for another party suggested SHARP
wilted reporter.
Nothing of the sort. The man ]
allude to is the husband of his grand
MOTHER" urged the gentleman, an.
noyed at the evident incredibly
with which his statement had been
received.
''Tell us all about it, Them
''rhere is not great deal to tell
but such as there is, you are welcome
to it. A family from Indiana set
tied near Abilene, Kansas, few
years ago, and as they were rich soon
became prominent people. The head
of the family was an aged patriarch,
nearly, if not quite, three score years
and ten. The youngest was a youti,
of twenty-five son of the old mans
daughter. Shortly after coming to
this State there was some family dis.
sension, and the old gentleman wen,
to Abilene and took up his residence
| in hotel. While there he fell in
love with and married waiter girl
"a winterish old man summing his
bleak old life in the bright bloom Of
May" added the narrator, who has
a touch of poetry in his nature.
"Well, go on"
"Why, I am going on; as | stated
he married this little Kansas tulip
this delicate passion flower of The
prairies-and then about year ago
died from the excess Of his own hap
piness.'
"Then the boy = that youth o
whom you spoke-married the GIRL
interposed al excited listener.
Precisely"
"And that's how the man came to
marry his grandmother"

The regular MEETING Of the Jamestown
Literary Society took place in the parl''rs
Of the Dakota House last Friday evening
snd proved to be very enjoyable affair.
The programme consisted Of vocal and in.
strumental exercises, speeches and decla-
nations, together with other interesting
exercises. The defamation rendered by
Mr.. Grimm was simply grand and de
livered with marked ability and grace
The musical exercises rendered, by Prof.
Kindec andMiss Wells were of high order
and proved to be highly entertaining. A
vote of thanks was rendered Prof. Kindec
by the society, for very fine piece Of
music written by him and dedicated to the
society; also to Miss Wells for her able
assistance in rendering it. The society is
in frst.clsss working order and promises
tn be grand success, and one which will
prove not only an honor to the various
participants, but which will be : credit
to our city. ..

Before coming to jamestown We heard
considerable talk about the "divisl on Of

jealous of the north side. At an early
period this feeling may have existed, in
al probability it did, hut at the present
time ne, fail to discover any such uspleas
antness. OF course 1t is natural for the
property holders on the north side, as we'll
% for those on the south side TO feel
deeply interested in TIE Development Of
their side of the track, which is not
strsnge or unfair On the part of either.
But % fur o. any i'll will existing between

to state that none whatever exists, and
that in reality the whole city is IN tied in
